| 3 | Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to his great mercy became the father of us again to a living hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, | 1Ki 8:15 1Ch 29:10-13 1Ch 29:20-13 Ps 41:13 Ps 72:18 Ps 72:19 2Co 1:3 Eph 1:3 Eph 1:17 Eph 3:20 |
| 4 | to an incorruptible and undefiled inheritance, and that doesn`t fade away, reserved in heaven for you, | 1Pe 3:9 Mt 25:34 Ac 20:32 Ac 26:18 Ga 3:18 Eph 1:11 Eph 1:14 Eph 1:18 Col 1:12 Heb 9:15 |
| 5 | who by the power of God are guarded through faith to a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. | 1Sa 2:9 Ps 37:23 Ps 37:24 Ps 37:28 Ps 103:17 Ps 103:18 Ps 125:1 Ps 125:2 Pr 2:8 Isa 54:17 Jer 32:40 Jn 4:14 Jn 5:24 Jn 10:28-30 Jn 17:11 Jn 17:12 Jn 17:15 Ro 8:31-39 Php 1:6 Jud 1:1 Jud 1:24 |
| 6 | Wherein you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been put to grief in various trials, | 1Pe 1:8 1Pe 4:13 1Sa 2:1 Ps 9:14 Ps 35:10 Ps 95:1 Isa 12:2 Isa 12:3 Isa 61:3 Isa 61:10 Mt 5:12 Lk 1:47 Lk 2:10 Lk 10:20 Jn 16:22 Ro 5:2 Ro 5:11 Ro 12:12 2Co 6:10 2Co 12:9 2Co 12:10 Ga 5:22 Php 3:3 Php 4:4 1Th 1:6 Jm 1:2 Jm 1:9 |
| 7 | that the proof of your faith, which is more precious than gold that perishes even though it is tested by fire, may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ -- | 1Pe 4:12 Jb 23:10 Ps 66:10-12 Pr 17:3 Isa 48:10 Jer 9:7 Zc 13:9 Mal 3:3 Ro 5:3 Ro 5:4 Jm 1:3 Jm 1:4 Jm 1:12 Rev 2:10 Rev 3:10 |
| 8 | whom not having known you love; on whom, though now you don`t see him, yet believing, you rejoice greatly with joy unspeakable and full of glory -- | Jn 20:29 2Co 4:18 2Co 5:7 Heb 11:1 Heb 11:27 1Jn 4:20 |
| 9 | receiving the end of your faith, the salvation of your souls. | Ro 6:22 Heb 11:13 Jm 1:21 |
| 10 | Concerning this salvation, the prophets sought and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that would come to you, | Gn 49:10 Dn 2:44 Hg 2:7 Zc 6:12 Mt 13:17 Lk 10:24 Lk 24:25-27 Lk 24:44 Ac 3:22-24 Ac 7:52 Ac 10:43 Ac 13:27-29 Ac 28:23 2Pe 1:19-21 |
| 11 | searching for what or what kind of time the Spirit of Christ, which was in them, pointed to, when he testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glories that should follow them. | 1Pe 3:18 1Pe 3:19 Ro 8:9 Ga 4:6 2Pe 1:21 Rev 19:10 |
| 12 | To whom it was revealed, that not to themselves, but to you, did they minister these things, which now have been announced to you through those who preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent forth from heaven; which things angels desire to look into. | Isa 53:1 Dn 2:19 Dn 2:22 Dn 2:28 Dn 2:29 Dn 2:47 Dn 10:1 Am 3:7 Mt 11:25 Mt 11:27 Mt 16:17 Lk 2:26 Ro 1:17 1Co 2:10 Ga 1:12 Ga 1:16 |
| 13 | Therefore, prepare your minds for action, be sober and set your hope perfectly on the grace that will be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ -- | Ex 12:11 1Ki 18:46 2Ki 4:29 Jb 38:3 Jb 40:7 Isa 11:5 Jer 1:17 Lk 12:35 Lk 17:8 Eph 6:14 |
| 14 | as children of obedience, not conforming yourselves according to your former lusts as in your ignorance, | Eph 2:2 Eph 5:6 |
| 15 | but just as he who called you is holy, you yourselves also be holy in all of your behavior; | 1Pe 2:9 1Pe 5:10 Ro 8:28-30 Ro 9:24 Php 3:14 1Th 2:12 1Th 4:7 2Ti 1:9 2Pe 1:3 2Pe 1:10 |
| 16 | because it is written, "You shall be holy; for I am holy." | Lv 11:44 Lv 19:2 Lv 20:7 Am 3:3 |
| 17 | If you call on him as Father, who without respect of persons judges according to each man`s work, pass the time of your living as strangers here in reverent fear: | Zep 3:9 Mt 6:9 Mt 7:7-11 2Co 1:2 Eph 1:17 Eph 3:14 |
| 18 | knowing that you were redeemed, not with corruptible things, with silver or gold, from the useless way of life handed down from your fathers, | Ps 49:7 Ps 49:8 1Co 6:20 1Co 7:23 |
| 19 | but with precious blood, as of a lamb without spot, the blood of Christ; | 1Pe 2:22-24 1Pe 3:18 Dn 9:24 Zc 13:7 Mt 20:28 Mt 26:28 Ac 20:28 Eph 1:7 Col 1:14 Heb 9:12-14 1Jn 1:7 1Jn 2:2 Rev 1:5 Rev 5:9 |
| 20 | who was foreknown indeed before the foundation of the world, but was revealed at the end of times for your sake, | Gn 3:15 Pr 8:23 Mic 5:2 Ro 3:25 Ro 16:25 Ro 16:26 Eph 1:4 Eph 3:9 Eph 3:11 Col 1:26 2Ti 1:9 2Ti 1:10 Tit 1:2 Tit 1:3 Rev 13:8 |
| 21 | who through him are believers in God, that raised him from the dead, and gave him glory; so that your faith and hope might be in God. | Jn 5:24 Jn 12:44 Jn 14:6 Heb 6:1 Heb 7:25 |
| 22 | Seeing you have purified your souls in your obedience to the truth through the Spirit in sincere brotherly affection, love one another from the heart fervently: | Jn 15:3 Jn 17:17 Jn 17:19 Ac 15:9 Ro 6:16 Ro 6:17 2Th 2:13 Jm 4:8 |
| 23 | having been born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, through the word of God, which lives and remains forever. | 1Pe 1:3 Jn 1:3 Jn 3:5 |
| 24 | For, "All flesh is like grass, And all of man`s glory like the flower in the grass. The grass withers, and its flower falls; | 2Ki 19:26 Ps 37:2 Ps 90:5 Ps 92:7 Ps 102:4 Ps 103:15 Ps 129:6 Isa 40:6-8 Jm 1:10 Jm 1:11 Jm 4:14 1Jn 2:17 |
| 25 | But the Lord`s word endures forever." This is the word of good news which was preached to you. | 1Pe 1:23 Ps 102:12 Ps 102:26 Ps 119:89 Isa 40:8 Mt 5:18 Lk 16:17 |
