Wherein ye exult, for a little while at present, if needed, put to grief by various trials,
7 That the triall of your faith, being much more precious then golde that perisheth (though it be tried with fire) might bee founde vnto your praise, and honour and glorie at the appearing of Iesus Christ:
that the proving of your faith, much more precious than of gold which perishes, though it be proved by fire, be found to praise and glory and honour in [the] revelation of Jesus Christ:

To whom it was revealed, that not to themselves but to you they ministered those things, which have now been announced to you by those who have declared to you the glad tidings by [the] Holy Spirit, sent from heaven, which angels desire to look into.

Wherefore, having girded up the loins of your mind, [be] sober [and] hope with perfect stedfastness in the grace [which will be] brought to you at [the] revelation of Jesus Christ;

as children of obedience, not conformed to [your] former lusts in your ignorance;
15 But as hee which hath called you, is holie, so be yee holie in all maner of conuersation;
but as he who has called you is holy, be ye also holy in all [your] conversation;
16 Because it is written, Be yee holie, for I am holie.
because it is written, Be ye holy, for I am holy.
17 And if ye call him Father, which without respect of person iudgeth according to euery mans woorke, passe the time of your dwelling here in feare,
And if ye invoke as Father him who, without regard of persons, judges according to the work of each, pass your time of sojourn in fear,

20 Which was ordeined before the foundation of the world, but was declared in the last times for your sakes,
foreknown indeed before [the] foundation of [the] world, but who has been manifested at the end of times for your sakes,
21 Which by his meanes doe beleeue in God that raised him from the dead, and gaue him glorie, that your faith and hope might bee in God,
who by him do believe on God, who has raised him from among [the] dead and given him glory, that your faith and hope should be in God.
