1Pe1:1 Peter, apostle of Jesus Christ, to the chosen men, to the comelings of scattering abroad [to the chosen comelings of dispersion, or scattering abroad ], of Pontus, of Galatia, of Cappadocia, of Asia, and of Bithynia,
1Pe1:2 by the before-knowing of God, the Father, in hallowing of Spirit, by obedience, and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ, grace and peace be multiplied to you. [after the prescience of God, the Father, into hallowing of the Spirit, into obedience, and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ, grace and peace to you be multiplied.]
1Pe1:3 Blessed be God, and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which by his great mercy [which after his great mercy] begat us again into living hope, by the again-rising of Jesus Christ from death [by the again-rising of Jesus Christ from dead],
1Pe1:4 into heritage uncorruptible, and undefouled, and that shall not fade, that is kept in heavens for you [kept in heavens for you],
1Pe1:5 that in the virtue of God be kept by the faith into health, and is ready to be showed in the last time [made ready to be showed in the last time].
1Pe1:6 In which ye shall make joy, though it behooveth now a little to be sorry in diverse temptations;
1Pe1:7 that the proving of your faith be much more precious than gold, that is proved by fire; and be found into praising, and glory, and honour, in the revelation of Jesus Christ.
1Pe1:8 Whom when ye have not seen, ye love; into whom also now ye not seeing, believe; but ye that believe shall have joy, and gladness that may not be told out, and ye shall be glorified [forsooth ye believing shall have joy withoutforth in gladness unnarrable, that is, that may not be told out , and glorified],
1Pe1:9 and have the end of your faith, the health of your souls. [bringing again the end of your faith, the health of your souls.]
1Pe1:10 Of which health prophets sought, and searched into, that prophesied of the grace to coming in you, [Of which health prophets sought out, and ensearched, that prophesied of the grace to come into you,]
1Pe1:11 and sought which either what manner time the Spirit of Christ signified in them, and before-told those passions, that be in Christ, and the latter glories. [seeking which or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ signified in them, before-telling the passions, that be in Christ, and the latter glories.]
1Pe1:12 To which it was showed [To whom it is showed], for not to themselves, but to you they ministered those things, that now be told to you by them that preached to you [that now be told to you by them that evangelized to you] by the Holy Ghost sent from heaven, into whom angels desire to behold.
1Pe1:13 For which thing be ye gird the loins of your soul, sober, perfect, and hope ye into that grace that is proffered to you by the showing of Jesus Christ [and hope ye into that grace that is offered to you by the revelation, or showing , of Jesus Christ],
1Pe1:14 as sons of obedience, not made like to the former desires of your unknowingness, [as sons of obedience, not together likened to the former desires of your ignorance,]
1Pe1:15 but like him that hath called you holy; that also ye self be holy in all living [that and yourselves be holy in all living];
1Pe1:16 for it is written, Ye shall be holy, for I am holy.
1Pe1:17 And if ye inwardly call him Father, which deemeth without acception of persons by the work of each man [the which without acception of persons deemeth after the work of each man], live ye in dread in the time of your pilgrimage [ in earth ];
1Pe1:18 witting that not by corruptible gold, either silver [or silver], ye be bought again of your vain living of fathers' tradition,
1Pe1:19 but by the precious blood as of the lamb undefouled and unspotted, Christ Jesus,
1Pe1:20 that was known before the making of the world, but he is showed in the last times, for you
1Pe1:21 that by him be faithful in God; that raised him from death [that raised him from dead men], and gave to him everlasting glory, that your faith and hope were in God.
1Pe1:22 And make ye chaste your souls in obedience of charity [Ye making chaste your souls in obedience of charity], in love of brotherhood; of simple heart love ye together more busily.
1Pe1:23 And be ye born again, not of corruptible seed, but [of] uncorruptible, by the word of living God, and dwelling into without end.
1Pe1:24 For each flesh is hay, and all the glory of it is as the flower of hay; the hay dried up, and his flower felled down [ a ] ;
1Pe1:25 but the word of the Lord dwelleth without end [into without end]. And this is the word, that is preached to you [Soothly this is the word, that is evangelized to you].
