2according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, in sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace to you and peace be multiplied.

the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to his great mercy begat us again unto a living hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

4unto an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,

5who by the power of God are guarded through faith unto a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

6Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, ye have been put to grief in manifold

10Concerning which salvation the prophets sought and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you:

17And if ye call on him as Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to each man’s work, pass the time of your sojourning in fear:

18knowing that ye were redeemed, not with corruptible things, with silver or gold, from your vain manner of life handed down from your fathers;

19but with precious blood, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot, even the blood of Christ:

20who was foreknown indeed before the foundation of the world, but was manifested at the end of the times for your sake,

21who 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.
