Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations:

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.

But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;

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:

Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,

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:

Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme;

For this is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully.

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.

As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.

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.

Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf.
