Whom having not seen, ye love: in whom tho' ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory, Receiving the end of your faith, the salvation of your souls.

But as he who hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation:

And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man's work, pass the time of your sojourning in fear:

Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake, whether it be to the king as supreme, Or to governors,

For so is the will of God, that by well-doing ye put to silence the ignorance of foolish men: As free,

For he that loveth life and desireth to see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips, that they speak no guile:

For it is better, if the will of God be so, that ye suffer for well-doing than for evil-doing.

As every one hath received a gift, so minister it one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.
