because all flesh is as grass, and all glory of man as flower of grass; wither did the grass, and the flower of it fell away,

to whom coming -- a living stone -- by men, indeed, having been disapproved of, but with God choice, precious,

because, so is the will of God, doing good, to put to silence the ignorance of the foolish men;

but -- the hidden man of the heart, in the incorruptible thing of the meek and quiet spirit, which is, before God, of great price,

no more in the desires of men, but in the will of God, to live the rest of the time in the flesh;

for for this also to dead men was good news proclaimed, that they may be judged, indeed, according to men in the flesh, and may live according to God in the spirit.

for let none of you suffer as a murderer, or thief, or evil-doer, or as an inspector into other men's matters;

And if the righteous man is scarcely saved, the ungodly and sinner -- where shall he appear?
