By his great mercy he has given us a new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,G2128G2316G2532G3962G2257G2962G2424G5547G3588G2596G846G4183G1656G313G2248G313G1519G2198G1680G1223G386G2424G5547G1537G3498 4and into an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you,G1519G2817G862G2532G283G2532G263G5083G1722G3772G1519G5209 5who are being protected by the power of God through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.G3588G5432G1722G1411G2316G1223G4102G1519G4991G2092G601G1722G2078G2540 6In this you rejoice, even if now for a little while you have had to suffer various trials,G1722G3739G21G737G3641G1487G1163G2076G3076G1722G4164G3986 7so that the genuineness of your faith—being more precious than gold that, though perishable, is tested by fire—may be found to result in praise and glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed.G2443G1383G5216G4102G4183G5093G5553G622G1223G1161G1381G4442G2147G1519G1868G2532G5092G2532G1391G1722G602G2424G5547 8Although 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 9for you are receiving the outcome of your faith, the salvation of your souls.G2865G5056G5216G4102G4991G5590 10Concerning this salvation, the prophets who prophesied of the grace that was to be yours made careful search and inquiry,G4012G3739G4991G4396G1567G2532G1830G3588G4395G4012G5485G1519G5209 11inquiring about the person or time that the Spirit of Christ within them indicated when it testified in advance to the sufferings destined for Christ and the subsequent glory.G2045G1519G5101G2228G4169G2540G4151G5547G3588G1722G846G1213G4303G3804G1519G5547G2532G1391G3326G5023 12It was revealed to them that they were serving not themselves but you, in regard to the things that have now been announced to you through those who brought you good news by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven—things into which angels long to look!G3739G601G3754G3756G1438G1161G2254G1247G846G3739G312G3568G312G5213G1223G2097G5209G1722G40G4151G649G575G3772G3739G32G1937G3879G1519

A Call to Holy Living

13Therefore prepare your minds for action; discipline yourselves; set all your hope on the grace that Jesus Christ will bring you when he is revealed.G1352G328G3751G5216G1271G3525G1679G5049G1909G5485G5342G5213G1722G602G2424G5547 14Like obedient children, do not be conformed to the desires that you formerly had in ignorance.G5613G5218G5043G3361G4964G4386G1939G1722G5216G52 15Instead, as he who called you is holy, be holy yourselves in all your conduct;G235G2596G2564G5209G40G2532G1096G846G40G1722G3956G391 16for it is written, "You shall be holy, for I am holy."G1360G1125G1096G40G3754G1473G1510G40 17If you invoke as Father the one who judges all people impartially according to their deeds, live in reverent fear during the time of your exile.G2532G1487G1941G3962G3588G678G2919G2596G1538G2041G390G5550G5216G3940G1722G5401 18You know that you were ransomed from the futile ways inherited from your ancestors, not with perishable things like silver or gold,G1492G3754G3084G3756G3084G5349G694G2228G5553G1537G5216G3152G391G3970 19but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without defect or blemish.G235G5093G129G5547G5613G286G299G2532G784 20He was destined before the foundation of the world, but was revealed at the end of the ages for your sake.G3303G4267G4253G2602G2889G1161G5319G1909G2078G5550G1223G5209 21Through him you have come to trust in God, who raised him from the dead and gave him glory, so that your faith and hope are set on God.G3588G1223G846G4100G1519G2316G1453G846G1453G1537G3498G2532G1325G846G1391G5620G5216G4102G2532G1680G1511G1519G2316 22Now that you have purified your souls by your obedience to the truth so that you have genuine mutual love, love one another deeply from the heart.G48G5216G5590G1722G5218G225G1223G4151G1519G505G5360G25G240G1537G2513G2588G1619 23You have been born anew, not of perishable but of imperishable seed, through the living and enduring word of God.G313G3756G1537G5349G4701G235G862G1223G3056G2316G2198G2532G3306G1519G165 24For "All flesh is like grass and all its glory like the flower of grass. The grass withers, and the flower falls,G1360G3956G4561G5613G5528G2532G3956G1391G444G5613G438G5528G5528G3583G2532G438G846G1601 25but the word of the Lord endures forever." That word is the good news that was announced to you.G1161G4487G2962G3306G1519G165G1161G5124G2076G4487G3588G2097G1519G5209
