  • 2nd Peter 1,2
    Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ:
    Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,
    According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:
    Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
    And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;
    And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;
    And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.
    For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
    But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.
    Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:
    For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
    Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things, though ye know them, and be established in the present truth.
    Yea, I think it meet, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting you in remembrance;
    Knowing that shortly I must put off this my tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ hath shewed me.
    Moreover I will endeavour that ye may be able after my decease to have these things always in remembrance.
    For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty.
    For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
    And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount.
    We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:
    Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.
    For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
    But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.
    And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.
    And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.
    For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment;
    And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly;
    And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly;
    And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked:
    (For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;)
    The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished

  • Job 15
    Then answered Eliphaz the Temanite, and said,
    Should a wise man utter vain knowledge, and fill his belly with the east wind?
    Should he reason with unprofitable talk? or with speeches wherewith he can do no good?
    Yea, thou castest off fear, and restrainest prayer before God.
    For thy mouth uttereth thine iniquity, and thou choosest the tongue of the crafty.
    Thine own mouth condemneth thee, and not I: yea, thine own lips testify against thee.
    Art thou the first man that was born? or wast thou made before the hills?
    Hast thou heard the secret of God? and dost thou restrain wisdom to thyself?
    What knowest thou, that we know not? what understandest thou, which is not in us?
    With us are both the grayheaded and very aged men, much elder than thy father.
    Are the consolations of God small with thee? is there any secret thing with thee?
    Why doth thine heart carry thee away? and what do thy eyes wink at,
    That thou turnest thy spirit against God, and lettest such words go out of thy mouth?
    What is man, that he should be clean? and he which is born of a woman, that he should be righteous?
    Behold, he putteth no trust in his saints; yea, the heavens are not clean in his sight.
    How much more abominable and filthy is man, which drinketh iniquity like water?
    I will shew thee, hear me; and that which I have seen I will declare;
    Which wise men have told from their fathers, and have not hid it:
    Unto whom alone the earth was given, and no stranger passed among them.
    The wicked man travaileth with pain all his days, and the number of years is hidden to the oppressor.
    A dreadful sound is in his ears: in prosperity the destroyer shall come upon him.
    He believeth not that he shall return out of darkness, and he is waited for of the sword.
    He wandereth abroad for bread, saying, Where is it? he knoweth that the day of darkness is ready at his hand.
    Trouble and anguish shall make him afraid; they shall prevail against him, as a king ready to the battle.
    For he stretcheth out his hand against God, and strengtheneth himself against the Almighty.
    He runneth upon him, even on his neck, upon the thick bosses of his bucklers:
    Because he covereth his face with his fatness, and maketh collops of fat on his flanks.
    And he dwelleth in desolate cities, and in houses which no man inhabiteth, which are ready to become heaps.
    He shall not be rich, neither shall his substance continue, neither shall he prolong the perfection thereof upon the earth.
    He shall not depart out of darkness; the flame shall dry up his branches, and by the breath of his mouth shall he go away.
    Let not him that is deceived trust in vanity: for vanity shall be his recompence.
    It shall be accomplished before his time, and his branch shall not be green.
    He shall shake off his unripe grape as the vine, and shall cast off his flower as the olive.
    For the congregation of hypocrites shall be desolate, and fire shall consume the tabernacles of bribery.
    They conceive mischief, and bring forth vanity, and their belly prepareth deceit.

  • Habakkuk 2
    I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved.
    And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.
    For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.
    Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith.
    Yea also, because he transgresseth by wine, he is a proud man, neither keepeth at home, who enlargeth his desire as hell, and is as death, and cannot be satisfied, but gathereth unto him all nations, and heapeth unto him all people:
    Shall not all these take up a parable against him, and a taunting proverb against him, and say, Woe to him that increaseth that which is not his! how long? and to him that ladeth himself with thick clay!
    Shall they not rise up suddenly that shall bite thee, and awake that shall vex thee, and thou shalt be for booties unto them?
    Because thou hast spoiled many nations, all the remnant of the people shall spoil thee; because of men's blood, and for the violence of the land, of the city, and of all that dwell therein.
    Woe to him that coveteth an evil covetousness to his house, that he may set his nest on high, that he may be delivered from the power of evil!
    Thou hast consulted shame to thy house by cutting off many people, and hast sinned against thy soul.
    For the stone shall cry out of the wall, and the beam out of the timber shall answer it.
    Woe to him that buildeth a town with blood, and stablisheth a city by iniquity!
    Behold, is it not of the LORD of hosts that the people shall labour in the very fire, and the people shall weary themselves for very vanity?
    For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.
    Woe unto him that giveth his neighbour drink, that puttest thy bottle to him, and makest him drunken also, that thou mayest look on their nakedness!
    Thou art filled with shame for glory: drink thou also, and let thy foreskin be uncovered: the cup of the LORD's right hand shall be turned unto thee, and shameful spewing shall be on thy glory.
    For the violence of Lebanon shall cover thee, and the spoil of beasts, which made them afraid, because of men's blood, and for the violence of the land, of the city, and of all that dwell therein.
    What profiteth the graven image that the maker thereof hath graven it; the molten image, and a teacher of lies, that the maker of his work trusteth therein, to make dumb idols?
    Woe unto him that saith to the wood, Awake; to the dumb stone, Arise, it shall teach! Behold, it is laid over with gold and silver, and there is no breath at all in the midst of it.
    But the LORD is in his holy temple: let all the earth keep silence before him.

  • 1st Peter 3,4,5
    Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives;
    While they behold your chaste conversation coupled with fear.
    Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel;
    But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.
    For after this manner in the old time the holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection unto their own husbands:
    Even as Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose daughters ye are, as long as ye do well, and are not afraid with any amazement.
    Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered.
    Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous:
    Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing.
    For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile:
    Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it.
    For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil.
    And who is he that will harm you, if ye be followers of that which is good?
    But and if ye suffer for righteousness' sake, happy are ye: and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled;
    But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:
    Having a good conscience; that, whereas they speak evil of you, as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that falsely accuse your good conversation in Christ.
    For it is better, if the will of God be so, that ye suffer for well doing, than for evil doing.
    For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:
    By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison;
    Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.
    The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ:
    Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him.
    Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin;
    That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God.
    For the time past of our life may suffice us to have wrought the will of the Gentiles, when we walked in lasciviousness, lusts, excess of wine, revellings, banquetings, and abominable idolatries:
    Wherein they think it strange that ye run not with them to the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you:
    Who shall give account to him that is ready to judge the quick and the dead.
    For for this cause was the gospel preached also to them that are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.
    But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer.
    And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins.

  • Job 14
    Man that is born of a woman is of few days and full of trouble.
    He cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down: he fleeth also as a shadow, and continueth not.
    And doth thou open thine eyes upon such an one, and bringest me into judgment with thee?
    Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? not one.
    Seeing his days are determined, the number of his months are with thee, thou hast appointed his bounds that he cannot pass;
    Turn from him, that he may rest, till he shall accomplish, as an hireling, his day.
    For there is hope of a tree, if it be cut down, that it will sprout again, and that the tender branch thereof will not cease.
    Though the root thereof wax old in the earth, and the stock thereof die in the ground;
    Yet through the scent of water it will bud, and bring forth boughs like a plant.
    But man dieth, and wasteth away: yea, man giveth up the ghost, and where is he?
    As the waters fail from the sea, and the flood decayeth and drieth up:
    So man lieth down, and riseth not: till the heavens be no more, they shall not awake, nor be raised out of their sleep.
    O that thou wouldest hide me in the grave, that thou wouldest keep me secret, until thy wrath be past, that thou wouldest appoint me a set time, and remember me!
    If a man die, shall he live again? all the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come.
    Thou shalt call, and I will answer thee: thou wilt have a desire to the work of thine hands.
    For now thou numberest my steps: dost thou not watch over my sin?
    My transgression is sealed up in a bag, and thou sewest up mine iniquity.
    And surely the mountains falling cometh to nought, and the rock is removed out of his place.
    The waters wear the stones: thou washest away the things which grow out of the dust of the earth; and thou destroyest the hope of man.
    Thou prevailest for ever against him, and he passeth: thou changest his countenance, and sendest him away.
    His sons come to honour, and he knoweth it not; and they are brought low, but he perceiveth it not of them.
    But his flesh upon him shall have pain, and his soul within him shall mourn.

  • Habakkuk 1
    The burden which Habakkuk the prophet did see.
    O LORD, how long shall I cry, and thou wilt not hear! even cry out unto thee of violence, and thou wilt not save!
    Why dost thou shew me iniquity, and cause me to behold grievance? for spoiling and violence are before me: and there are that raise up strife and contention.
    Therefore the law is slacked, and judgment doth never go forth: for the wicked doth compass about the righteous; therefore wrong judgment proceedeth.
    Behold ye among the heathen, and regard, and wonder marvelously: for I will work a work in your days which ye will not believe, though it be told you.
    For, lo, I raise up the Chaldeans, that bitter and hasty nation, which shall march through the breadth of the land, to possess the dwellingplaces that are not their's.
    They are terrible and dreadful: their judgment and their dignity shall proceed of themselves.
    Their horses also are swifter than the leopards, and are more fierce than the evening wolves: and their horsemen shall spread themselves, and their horsemen shall come from far; they shall fly as the eagle that hasteth to eat.
    They shall come all for violence: their faces shall sup up as the east wind, and they shall gather the captivity as the sand.
    And they shall scoff at the kings, and the princes shall be a scorn unto them: they shall deride every strong hold; for they shall heap dust, and take it.
    Then shall his mind change, and he shall pass over, and offend, imputing this his power unto his god.
    Art thou not from everlasting, O LORD my God, mine Holy One? we shall not die. O LORD, thou hast ordained them for judgment; and, O mighty God, thou hast established them for correction.
    Thou art of purer eyes than to behold evil, and canst not look on iniquity: wherefore lookest thou upon them that deal treacherously, and holdest thy tongue when the wicked devoureth the man that is more righteous than he?
    And makest men as the fishes of the sea, as the creeping things, that have no ruler over them?
    They take up all of them with the angle, they catch them in their net, and gather them in their drag: therefore they rejoice and are glad.
    Therefore they sacrifice unto their net, and burn incense unto their drag; because by them their portion is fat, and their meat plenteous.
    Shall they therefore empty their net, and not spare continually to slay the nations?

  • 1st Peter 2
    Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, all evil speakings,
    As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:
    If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious.
    To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious,
    Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.
    Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded.
    Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner,
    And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.
    But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light;
    Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.
    Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;
    Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation.
    Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme;
    Or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well.
    For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:
    As free, and not using your liberty for a cloke of maliciousness, but as the servants of God.
    Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king.
    Servants, be subject to your masters with all fear; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the froward.
    For this is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully.
    For what glory is it, if, when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye take it patiently, this is acceptable with God.
    For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:
    Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:
    Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously:
    Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.
    For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.

    Lo, mine eye hath seen all this, mine ear hath heard and understood it.
    What ye know, the same do I know also: I am not inferior unto you.
    Surely I would speak to the Almighty, and I desire to reason with God.
    But ye are forgers of lies, ye are all physicians of no value.
    O that ye would altogether hold your peace! and it should be your wisdom.
    Hear now my reasoning, and hearken to the pleadings of my lips.
    Will ye speak wickedly for God? and talk deceitfully for him?
    Will ye accept his person? will ye contend for God?
    Is it good that he should search you out? or as one man mocketh another, do ye so mock him?
    He will surely reprove you, if ye do secretly accept persons.
    Shall not his excellency make you afraid? and his dread fall upon you?
    Your remembrances are like unto ashes, your bodies to bodies of clay.
    Hold your peace, let me alone, that I may speak, and let come on me what will.
    Wherefore do I take my flesh in my teeth, and put my life in mine hand?
    Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintain mine own ways before him.
    He also shall be my salvation: for an hypocrite shall not come before him.
    Hear diligently my speech, and my declaration with your ears.
    Behold now, I have ordered my cause; I know that I shall be justified.
    Who is he that will plead with me? for now, if I hold my tongue, I shall give up the ghost.
    Only do not two things unto me: then will I not hide myself from thee.
    Withdraw thine hand far from me: and let not thy dread make me afraid.
    Then call thou, and I will answer: or let me speak, and answer thou me.
    How many are mine iniquities and sins? make me to know my transgression and my sin.
    Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and holdest me for thine enemy?
    Wilt thou break a leaf driven to and fro? and wilt thou pursue the dry stubble?
    For thou writest bitter things against me, and makest me to possess the iniquities of my youth.
    Thou puttest my feet also in the stocks, and lookest narrowly unto all my paths; thou settest a print upon the heels of my feet.
    And he, as a rotten thing, consumeth, as a garment that is moth eaten.

    Woe to the bloody city! it is all full of lies and robbery; the prey departeth not;
    The noise of a whip, and the noise of the rattling of the wheels, and of the pransing horses, and of the jumping chariots.
    The horseman lifteth up both the bright sword and the glittering spear: and there is a multitude of slain, and a great number of carcases; and there is none end of their corpses; they stumble upon their corpses:
    Because of the multitude of the whoredoms of the wellfavoured harlot, the mistress of witchcrafts, that selleth nations through her whoredoms, and families through her witchcrafts.
    Behold, I am against thee, saith the LORD of hosts; and I will discover thy skirts upon thy face, and I will shew the nations thy nakedness, and the kingdoms thy shame.
    And I will cast abominable filth upon thee, and make thee vile, and will set thee as a gazingstock.
    And it shall come to pass, that all they that look upon thee shall flee from thee, and say, Nineveh is laid waste: who will bemoan her? whence shall I seek comforters for thee?
    Art thou better than populous No, that was situate among the rivers, that had the waters round about it, whose rampart was the sea, and her wall was from the sea?
    Ethiopia and Egypt were her strength, and it was infinite; Put and Lubim were thy helpers.
    Yet was she carried away, she went into captivity: her young children also were dashed in pieces at the top of all the streets: and they cast lots for her honourable men, and all her great men were bound in chains.
    Thou also shalt be drunken: thou shalt be hid, thou also shalt seek strength because of the enemy.
    All thy strong holds shall be like fig trees with the firstripe figs: if they be shaken, they shall even fall into the mouth of the eater.
    Behold, thy people in the midst of thee are women: the gates of thy land shall be set wide open unto thine enemies: the fire shall devour thy bars.
    Draw thee waters for the siege, fortify thy strong holds: go into clay, and tread the morter, make strong the brickkiln.
    There shall the fire devour thee; the sword shall cut thee off, it shall eat thee up like the cankerworm: make thyself many as the cankerworm, make thyself many as the locusts.
    Thou hast multiplied thy merchants above the stars of heaven: the cankerworm spoileth, and fleeth away.
    Thy crowned are as the locusts, and thy captains as the great grasshoppers, which camp in the hedges in the cold day, but when the sun ariseth they flee away, and their place is not known where they are.
    Thy shepherds slumber, O king of Assyria: thy nobles shall dwell in the dust: thy people is scattered upon the mountains, and no man gathereth them.
    There is no healing of thy bruise; thy wound is grievous: all that hear the bruit of thee shall clap the hands over thee: for upon whom hath not thy wickedness passed continually?

  • 1st Peter 1
    Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the strangers scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,
    Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied.
    Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
    To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,
    Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
    Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations:
    That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:
    Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:
    Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.
    Of which salvation the prophets have enquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you:
    Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow.
    Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto us they did minister the things, which are now reported unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into.
    Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;
    As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance:
    But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;
    Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.
    And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man's work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear:
    Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers;
    But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:
    Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,
    Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God.
    Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently:
    Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.
    For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away:
    But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.
