who, in the power of God are being guarded, through faith, unto salvation, ready to be revealed in the last time,

searching in regard to what or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ that was in them was manifesting, testifying beforehand the sufferings of Christ and the glory after these,

and if on the Father ye do call, who without acceptance of persons is judging according to the work of each, in fear the time of your sojourn pass ye,

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

for sufficient to us is the past time of life the will of the nations to have wrought, having walked in lasciviousnesses, desires, excesses of wines, revellings, drinking-bouts, and unlawful idolatries,

because it is the time of the beginning of the judgment from the house of God, and if first from us, what the end of those disobedient to the good news of God?

be humbled, then, under the powerful hand of God, that you He may exalt in good time,
