But, ye, are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for a peculiar treasure, that, the excellences, ye may tell forth, of him who, out of darkness, hath called you into his marvellous light: -

Whose adorning, let it be - not the outward, of plaiting the hair and wearing golden ornaments, or putting on of apparel,

For, he that desireth to love, life, and to see good days, Let him cause his tongue to cease from mischief, and lips, that they speak not deceit;

Let him turn away from mischief, and do good, Let him seek peace, and pursue it;

For let, none of you, be suffering as a murderer, or a thief, or an evil-doer, or as one prying into other men's affairs;

But, if as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but be glorifying God in this name.

So then, let, them who are even suffering, according to the will of God, unto a faithful Creator, be committing their souls, in well-doing.
