men being kept by the power of God through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

About which salvation the prophets sought and searched diligently. Men who prophesied about the grace for you,

but according to the Holy Man, he who called you, ye yourselves also become holy in all conduct,

And if ye call on a Father, him who judges impartially according to each man's work, live the time of your sojourn in fear.

Men who, because of him, believe in God who raised him from the dead, and gave him glory, in order for your faith and hope to be in God.

Men who have purified your souls in obedience of the truth through the Spirit for non-hypocritical brotherly love. Ye should love each other fervently from a pure heart,

Because all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as a flower of grass. The grass withers, and the flower of it falls away,

Coming to whom, a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but with God chosen, precious,

To you therefore who believe is the preciousness, but for men who disobey, A stone that the builders rejected, this became the head of the corner,

and, A stone of stumbling and a rock of offense, men who stumble at the word, being disobedient, for which also they were set.

Men formerly not a people, but now are a people of God. Men who had not obtained mercy, but who now have obtained mercy.

Because this way is the will of God, doing good to muzzle the ignorance of the foolish men.

Respect all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Respect the king.

For this is graciousness, if, because of consciousness of God, any man endures sorrows, suffering wrongfully.

but the hidden man of the heart, in the incorruptible, of the meek and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God.

Because the eyes of Lord are toward the righteous, and his ears to their supplication, but the face of Lord is against men who do evil things.

but sanctify the Lord God in your hearts. And always be ready for a defense to every man who asks you a word about the hope in you, with mildness and fear.

Because Christ also once suffered for sins, a righteous man for unrighteous men, so that he might bring you to God. Having indeed been killed in flesh, but made alive in spirit,

in order to live the remaining time in flesh, no longer by lusts of men, but by the will of God.

Men who will give back an accounting to him who fares readily to judge the living and the dead.

For good-news was preached even to the dead for this, so that they might indeed be judged according to men in flesh, but live according to God in spirit.

If any man speaks, as oracles of God. If any man serves, as of ability as God supplies. So that God may be glorified in all things through Jesus Christ, to whom is the glory and the dominion into the ages of the ages. Truly.

For let not any man of you suffer as a murderer, or a thief, or an evil-doer, or as a busybody.

And if the righteous man is scarcely saved, where will the irreverent and sinful man appear?

Likewise younger men should be subordinate to the elder men. And all being subordinate to each other, clothe yourselves with humility, because God sets himself against the haughty, but gives grace to the lowly.
