Our Hope and Joy are in the Messiah

3Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus, the Messiah! Because of his great mercy he has granted us a new birth, resulting in an immortal hope through the resurrection of Jesus, the Messiah, from the deadG2128G2316G2532G3962G2257G2962G2424G5547G3588G2596G846G4183G1656G313G2248G313G1519G2198G1680G1223G386G2424G5547G1537G3498 4and to an inheritance kept in heaven for you that can't be destroyed, corrupted, or changed.G1519G2817G862G2532G283G2532G263G5083G1722G3772G1519G5209 5Through faith you are being protected by God's power for a salvation that is ready to be revealed at the end of this era.G3588G5432G1722G1411G2316G1223G4102G1519G4991G2092G601G1722G2078G2540 6You greatly rejoice in this, even though you have to suffer various kinds of trial for a little while,G1722G3739G21G737G3641G1487G1163G2076G3076G1722G4164G3986 7so that your genuine faith, which is more valuable than gold that perishes when tested by fire, may result in praise, glory, and honor when Jesus, the Messiah, is revealed.G2443G1383G5216G4102G4183G5093G5553G622G1223G1161G1381G4442G2147G1519G1868G2532G5092G2532G1391G1722G602G2424G5547 8Though you have not seen him, you love him. And even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and rejoice with an indescribable and glorious joy,G3739G1492G3756G1492G1492G25G1519G3739G737G3708G3361G1161G4100G21G5479G412G2532G1392 9because you are receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls.G2865G5056G5216G4102G4991G5590 10Even the prophets, who prophesied about the grace that was to be yours, carefully researched and investigated this salvation.G4012G3739G4991G4396G1567G2532G1830G3588G4395G4012G5485G1519G5209 11They tried to find out what era or specific time the Spirit of the Messiah in them kept referring to when he predicted the sufferings of the Messiah and the glories that would follow.G2045G1519G5101G2228G4169G2540G4151G5547G3588G1722G846G1213G4303G3804G1519G5547G2532G1391G3326G5023 12It was revealed to them that they were not serving themselves but you in regard to the things that have now been announced to you by those who brought you the good news through the Holy Spirit sent from heaven. These are things that even the angels desire to look into.G3739G601G3754G3756G1438G1161G2254G1247G846G3739G312G3568G312G5213G1223G2097G5209G1722G40G4151G649G575G3772G3739G32G1937G3879G1519

Be Holy

13Therefore, prepare your minds for action, keep a clear head, and set your hope completely on the grace to be given you when Jesus, the Messiah, is revealed.G1352G328G3751G5216G1271G3525G1679G5049G1909G5485G5342G5213G1722G602G2424G5547 14As obedient children, do not be shaped by the desires that used to influence you when you were ignorant.G5613G5218G5043G3361G4964G4386G1939G1722G5216G52 15Instead, be holy in every aspect of your life, just as the one who called you is holy.G235G2596G2564G5209G40G2532G1096G846G40G1722G3956G391 16For it is written, "You must be holy, because I am holy."1G1360G1125G1096G40G3754G1473G1510G40 17If you call "Father" the one who judges everyone impartially according to what they have done, you must live in reverent fear as long as you are strangers in a strange land.G2532G1487G1941G3962G3588G678G2919G2596G1538G2041G390G5550G5216G3940G1722G5401 18For you know that it was not with perishable things like silver or gold that you have been ransomed from the worthless way of life handed down to you by your ancestors,G1492G3754G3084G3756G3084G5349G694G2228G5553G1537G5216G3152G391G3970 19but with the precious blood of the Messiah, like that of a lamb without blemish or defect.G235G5093G129G5547G5613G286G299G2532G784 20On the one hand, he was foreknown before the creation of the world, but on the other hand, he was revealed at the end of time for your sake.G3303G4267G4253G2602G2889G1161G5319G1909G2078G5550G1223G5209 21Through him you believe in God, who raised him from the dead and gave him glory, so that your faith and hope might be in God.G3588G1223G846G4100G1519G2316G1453G846G1453G1537G3498G2532G1325G846G1391G5620G5216G4102G2532G1680G1511G1519G2316

Love One Another

22Now that you have obeyed the truth and have purified your souls to love your brothers sincerely, you must love one another intensely and with a pure heart.G48G5216G5590G1722G5218G225G1223G4151G1519G505G5360G25G240G1537G2513G2588G1619 23For you have been born again, not by a seed that perishes but by one that cannot perish - by the living and everlasting word of God.G313G3756G1537G5349G4701G235G862G1223G3056G2316G2198G2532G3306G1519G165 24For "All human life is like grass, and all its glory is like a flower in the grass. The grass dries up and the flower drops off,G1360G3956G4561G5613G5528G2532G3956G1391G444G5613G438G5528G5528G3583G2532G438G846G1601 25but the word of the Lord lasts forever." Now this word is the good news that was announced to you.G1161G4487G2962G3306G1519G165G1161G5124G2076G4487G3588G2097G1519G5209
