7 that the trial of your faith, which is more precious than gold that perishes, however being tried by the fire, may be found unto praise and glory and honor in the revelation of Jesus Christ:

8 whom you not seeing, love with divine love; on whom, not looking, but believing, you rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:

10 Concerning which salvation the prophets, who prophesied concerning the grace towards you, sought out and investigated,

11 searching into what, or what kind of time the Spirit of Christ who was in them, witnessing the sufferings towards Christ, and the glories after these, did show:

12 to whom it was revealed, because they were ministering not these things for themselves, but for you, which are now proclaimed unto you by those who preach to you the gospel with the Holy Ghost having been sent from heaven; into which things the angels desire to look down.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲛⲁⲓ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁϥⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ̅ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ. ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲩⲇⲓⲁⲕⲟⲛⲉⲓ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲁⲛ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅. ⲛⲁⲓ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲩⲧⲁⲙⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ϩⲓⲧⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲧⲁϣⲉⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲡⲛ̅ⲁ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ. ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲩⲧⲛ̅ⲛⲟⲟⲩϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲉ
13 Therefore having girded up the loins of your minds, being perfectly sober, hope unto the grace which is conferred on you in the revelation of Jesus Christ.

14 As children of obedience, not being fashioned after your former lusts in ignorance:

15 but according to the Holy One who has called you. Be ye also holy in all your deportment;

17 And if you call upon the Father, the One judging without respect of persons according to the work of each, pass the time of your sojourn with fear,
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉϣϫⲉⲡⲉⲧⲕⲣⲓⲛⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲟⲩⲁ ⲡⲟⲩⲁ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲛⲉⲩϩⲃⲏⲩⲉ ⲁϫⲛ̅ϫⲓϩⲟ. ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲙⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲛⲉⲓⲱⲧ. ⲉⲓⲉ ⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩϩⲟⲧⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲓⲙⲁ.
18 knowing that you have been redeemed from your depraved character transmitted from your ancestors, not by corruptible things, silver or gold,

19 but by the precious blood of Christ, as a lamb without blemish and spotless:

21 who through him are faithful toward God, who raised him from the dead, and gave him glory; so that your faith and hope are toward God.

22 Having purified your souls through obedience of the truth unto unhypocritical, brotherly love, fervently from the heart love one another with divine love:
