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.
The Second Epistle General of
Peter
CHAPTER PETER 1
Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith
with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ:
2
Grace and peace be
multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,
3
According as his divine
power hath given unto us all things that
pertain
unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of
him that hath called us to glory and virtue:
4
Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious
promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption
that is in the world through lust.
5
And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue;
and to virtue knowledge;
6
And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to
patience godliness;
7
And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.
8
For
if these things be in you, and abound, they make
you that ye shall
neither
be
barren nor unfruitful
in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9
But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot
see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.
10
Wherefore the rather,
brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall
never fall:
11
For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom
of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
12
Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things, though
ye know
them,
and be established in the present truth.
13
Yea, I think it meet, as long as I am in this
