but with precious blood, as of a lamb unblemished and unspotted -- Christ's --

who through him do believe in God, who did raise out of the dead, and glory to him did give, so that your faith and hope may be in God.

as new-born babes the word's pure milk desire ye, that in it ye may grow,

if so be ye did taste that the Lord is gracious,

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

for 'he who is willing to love life, and to see good days, let him guard his tongue from evil, and his lips -- not to speak guile;

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

so that also those suffering according to the will of god, as to a stedfast Creator, let them commit their own souls in good doing.
