Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His great mercy has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

As to this salvation, the prophets who prophesied of the grace that would come to you made careful searches and inquiries,

Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 1:12 - It was revealed to them that they were not serving themselves, but you, in these things which now have been announced to you through those who preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven—things into which angels long to [fn]look.

Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 1:16 - because it is written: “YOU SHALL BE HOLY, FOR I AM HOLY.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 1:17 -

If you address as Father the One who impartially judges according to each one’s work, conduct yourselves in fear during the time of your stay on earth;

Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 1:18 - knowing that you were not [fn]redeemed with perishable things like silver or gold from your futile way of life inherited from your forefathers,
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 1:19 - but with precious blood, as of a lamb unblemished and spotless, the blood of Christ.
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 1:20 - For He was foreknown before the foundation of the world, but has appeared [fn]in these last times for the sake of you
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 1:21 - who through Him are believers in God, who raised Him from the dead and gave Him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God.
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 1:22 -

Since you have purified your souls in obedience to the truth for a sincere love of the brothers and sisters, fervently love one another from [fn]the heart,

“ALL FLESH IS LIKE GRASS,

AND ALL ITS GLORY IS LIKE THE FLOWER OF GRASS.

BUT THE WORD OF THE LORD ENDURES FOREVER.”

And this is the word which was [fn]preached to you.
