I PETER

I Peter 1

1Peter, an Apostle of Jesus Christ, to the saints who are living in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,

James 1:1, Acts 2:5, Acts 2:11, James 1:1, Acts 2:5

2Who, through the purpose of God, have been made holy by the Spirit, disciples of Jesus, made clean by his blood: May you have grace and peace in full measure.

2 Thessalonians 2:13, 2 Thessalonians 2:13, Ephesians 1:4, Ephesians 1:5, Ephesians 1:4

3Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who through his great mercy has given us a new birth and a living hope by the coming again of Jesus Christ from the dead,

1 Peter 1:23, 1 Peter 1:23, 1 John 5:4, 1 John 5:4, Romans 15:13

4And a heritage fair, holy and for ever new, waiting in heaven for you,

Revelation 21:27, Revelation 21:27, Hebrews 9:15, Hebrews 9:15, 1 Peter 5:4

5Who, by the power of God are kept, through faith, for that salvation, which will be seen at the last day.

Philippians 1:6, Philippians 1:6, Ephesians 2:8, Ephesians 2:8, Romans 8:31

6You have cause for great joy in this, though it may have been necessary for you to be troubled for a little time, being tested in all sorts of ways,

James 1:2, James 1:2, 1 Peter 5:10, 1 Peter 5:10, Romans 12:12

7So that the true metal of your faith, being of much greater value than gold (which, though it comes to an end, is tested by fire), may come to light in praise and glory and honour, at the revelation of Jesus Christ:

Job 23:10, Job 23:10, James 1:12, James 1:12, Isaiah 48:10

8To whom your love is given, though you have not seen him; and the faith which you have in him, though you do not see him now, gives you joy greater than words and full of glory:

John 20:29, John 20:29, 2 Corinthians 5:7, 2 Corinthians 5:7, Romans 15:13

9For so you have the true end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.

Romans 6:22, Romans 6:22, James 1:21, James 1:21, Hebrews 11:13

10For the prophets who gave the news of the grace which would come to you, made search with all care for knowledge of this salvation;

Matthew 13:17, Matthew 13:17, Luke 10:24, Luke 10:24, Luke 24:25

11Attempting to see what sort of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them was pointing to, when it gave witness to the pains which Christ would undergo and the glories which would come after them.

2 Peter 1:21, 2 Peter 1:21, Isaiah 52:13, Isaiah 52:14, Romans 8:9

12And it was made clear to those prophets that they were God's servants not for themselves but for you, to give you word of the things which have now come to your ears from the preachers of the good news through the Holy Spirit sent down from heaven; things which even angels have a desire to see.

John 15:26, John 15:26, 1 Corinthians 2:10, Ephesians 3:10, 1 Corinthians 2:10

13So make your minds ready, and keep on the watch, hoping with all your power for the grace which is to come to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;

1 Peter 5:8, 1 Peter 5:8, Luke 12:35, Luke 12:35, 1 Peter 4:7

14Like children ruled by God, do not go back to the old desires of the time when you were without knowledge:

Romans 12:2, Romans 12:2, 1 Peter 4:2, 1 Peter 4:3, Titus 3:3

15But be holy in every detail of your lives, as he, whose servants you are, is holy;

Matthew 5:48, Matthew 5:48, 2 Corinthians 7:1, 2 Corinthians 7:1, Hebrews 12:14

16Because it has been said in the Writings, You are to be holy, for I am holy.

Leviticus 11:44, Leviticus 11:44, Leviticus 19:2, Leviticus 19:2, Leviticus 20:7

17And if you give the name of Father to him who, judging every man by his acts, has no respect for a man's position, then go in fear while you are on this earth:

Acts 10:34, Acts 10:35, Acts 10:34, Acts 10:35, 2 Chronicles 19:7

18Being conscious that you have been made free from that foolish way of life which was your heritage from your fathers, not through a payment of things like silver or gold which come to destruction,

1 Corinthians 6:20, 1 Corinthians 6:20, 1 Corinthians 7:23, 1 Corinthians 7:23, Psalms 49:7

19But through holy blood, like that of a clean and unmarked lamb, even the blood of Christ:

1 John 1:7, 1 John 1:7, 1 Peter 2:22, 1 Peter 2:24, 1 Peter 2:22

20Who was marked out by God before the making of the world, but was caused to be seen in these last times for you,

Ephesians 1:4, Ephesians 1:4, 2 Timothy 1:9, 2 Timothy 1:10, 2 Timothy 1:9

21Who through him have faith in God who took him up again from the dead into glory; so that your faith and hope might be in God.

Acts 2:24, Acts 2:24, Hebrews 2:9, Hebrews 2:9, John 12:44

22And as you have made your souls clean, being ruled by what is true, and loving one another without deceit, see that your love is warm and from the heart:

1 Timothy 1:5, 1 Timothy 1:5, Hebrews 13:1, Hebrews 13:1, Romans 12:9

23Because you have had a new birth, not from the seed of man, but from eternal seed, through the word of a living and unchanging God.

1 Peter 1:3, 1 Peter 1:3, Hebrews 4:12, Hebrews 4:12, John 3:3

24For it is said, All flesh is like grass, and all its glory like the flower of the grass. The grass becomes dry and the flower dead:

Isaiah 40:6, Isaiah 40:8, Isaiah 40:6, Isaiah 40:8, Psalms 103:15

25But the word of the Lord is eternal. And this is the word of the good news which was given to you.

Isaiah 40:8, Isaiah 40:8, Matthew 5:18, Psalms 119:89, 1 Corinthians 15:1
