   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.   
      
   8 Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love   
   as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous:   
      
   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.   
      
   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:   
      
   11 Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it.   
      
   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.   
      
   13 And who is he that will harm you, if ye be followers of that which is   
   good?   
      
   14 But and if ye suffer for righteousness' sake, happy are ye: and be   
   not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled;   
      
   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:   
      
   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.   
      
   17 For it is better, if the will of God be so, that ye suffer for well   
   doing, than for evil doing.   
      
   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:   
      
   19 By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison;   
      
   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.   
      
   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:   
      
   22 Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; angels and   
   authorities and powers being made subject unto him.   
      
   1 Peter Chapter 4   
      
   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;   
      
   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.   
      
   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:   
      
   4 Wherein they think it strange that ye run not with them to the same   
   excess of riot, speaking evil of you:   
      
   5 Who shall give account to him that is ready to judge the quick and the   
   dead.   
      
   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.   
      
   7 But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch   
   unto prayer.   
      
   8 And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for   
   charity shall cover the multitude of sins.   
      
   9 Use hospitality one to another without grudging.   
      
   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.   
      
   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.   
      
   12 Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to   
   try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:   
      
   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.   
      
   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.   
      
   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.   
      
   16 Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let   
   him glorify God on this behalf.   
      
   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?   
      
   18 And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and   
   the sinner appear?   
      
   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.   
      
   1 Peter Chapter 5   
      
   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:   
      
   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;   
      
   3 Neither as being lords over God's heritage, but being ensamples to the   
   flock.   
      
   4 And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of   
   glory that fadeth not away.   
      
   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.   
      
   6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may   
   exalt you in due time:   
      
   7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.   
      
   8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring   
   lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:   
      
   9 Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions   
   are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.   
      
   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.   
      
   11 To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.   
      
   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.   
      
   13 The church that is at Babylon, elected together with you, saluteth   
   you; and so doth Marcus my son.   
      
   14 Greet ye one another with a kiss of charity. Peace be with you all   
   that are in Christ Jesus. Amen.
