+  <chapter no='1'>
+    <verse no='1'>Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the strangers  scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>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.</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>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,</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that  fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto  salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need  be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations:</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>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:</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>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:</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your  souls.</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>Of which salvation the prophets have enquired and searched  diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you:</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>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.</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>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.</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>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;</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to  the former lusts in your ignorance:</verse>
+    <verse no='15'>But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in  all manner of conversation;</verse>
+    <verse no='16'>Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.</verse>
+    <verse no='17'>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:</verse>
+    <verse no='18'>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;</verse>
+    <verse no='19'>But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without  blemish and without spot:</verse>
+    <verse no='20'>Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the  world, but was manifest in these last times for you,</verse>
+    <verse no='21'>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.</verse>
+    <verse no='22'>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:</verse>
+    <verse no='23'>Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of  incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.</verse>
+    <verse no='24'>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:</verse>
+    <verse no='25'>But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the  word which by the gospel is preached unto you.</verse>
+  </chapter>
+  <chapter no='2'>
+    <verse no='1'>Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and  hypocrisies, and envies, all evil speakings,</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that  ye may grow thereby:</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious.</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of  men, but chosen of God, and precious,</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>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.</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>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.</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>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,</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>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.</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>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;</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>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.</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims,  abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>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.</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's  sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme;</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>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.</verse>
+    <verse no='15'>For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put  to silence the ignorance of foolish men:</verse>
+    <verse no='16'>As free, and not using your liberty for a cloke of  maliciousness, but as the servants of God.</verse>
+    <verse no='17'>Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the  king.</verse>
+    <verse no='18'>Servants, be subject to your masters with all fear; not only  to the good and gentle, but also to the froward.</verse>
+    <verse no='19'>For this is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God  endure grief, suffering wrongfully.</verse>
+    <verse no='20'>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.</verse>
+    <verse no='21'>For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also  suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his  steps:</verse>
+    <verse no='22'>Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:</verse>
+    <verse no='23'>Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he  suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth  righteously:</verse>
+    <verse no='24'>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.</verse>
+    <verse no='25'>For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto  the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.</verse>
+  </chapter>
+  <chapter no='3'>
+    <verse no='1'>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;</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>While they behold your chaste conversation coupled with  fear.</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of  plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel;</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>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.</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>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:</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>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.</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>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.</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of  another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous:</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but  contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye  should inherit a blessing.</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>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:</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and  ensue it.</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>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.</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>And who is he that will harm you, if ye be followers of that  which is good?</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>But and if ye suffer for righteousness' sake, happy are ye:  and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled;</verse>
+    <verse no='15'>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:</verse>
+    <verse no='16'>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.</verse>
+    <verse no='17'>For it is better, if the will of God be so, that ye suffer  for well doing, than for evil doing.</verse>
+    <verse no='18'>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:</verse>
+    <verse no='19'>By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in  prison;</verse>
+    <verse no='20'>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.</verse>
+    <verse no='21'>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:</verse>
+    <verse no='22'>Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God;  angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him.</verse>
+  </chapter>
+  <chapter no='4'>
+    <verse no='1'>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;</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>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.</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>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:</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>Wherein they think it strange that ye run not with them to  the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you:</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>Who shall give account to him that is ready to judge the  quick and the dead.</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>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.</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober,  and watch unto prayer.</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves:  for charity shall cover the multitude of sins.</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>Use hospitality one to another without grudging.</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the  same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if  any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth:  that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom  be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial  which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's  sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also  with exceeding joy.</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye;  for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he  is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified.</verse>
+    <verse no='15'>But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or  as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men's matters.</verse>
+    <verse no='16'>Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be  ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf.</verse>
+    <verse no='17'>For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house  of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that  obey not the gospel of God?</verse>
+    <verse no='18'>And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the  ungodly and the sinner appear?</verse>
+    <verse no='19'>Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God  commit the keeping of their souls to him in well doing, as unto a  faithful Creator.</verse>
+  </chapter>
+  <chapter no='5'>
+    <verse no='1'>The elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an  elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker  of the glory that shall be revealed:</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the  oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy  lucre, but of a ready mind;</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>Neither as being lords over God's heritage, but being  ensamples to the flock.</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a  crown of glory that fadeth not away.</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea,  all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for  God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God,  that he may exalt you in due time:</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as  a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same  afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his  eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while,  make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>By Silvanus, a faithful brother unto you, as I suppose, I  have written briefly, exhorting, and testifying that this is the true  grace of God wherein ye stand.</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>The church that is at Babylon, elected together with you,  saluteth you; and so doth Marcus my son.</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>Greet ye one another with a kiss of charity. Peace be with  you all that are in Christ Jesus. Amen.</verse>
