The Blood of the New Covenant - 1 Peter 1

1 Peter 1:1 Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the strangers  scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and  Bithynia.

1 Peter 1:2 Elect according to the foreknowledge of  God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto  obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace  unto you, and peace, be multiplied.  

1 Peter 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus  Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath  begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of  Jesus Christ from the dead, 

1 Peter 1:4 To an inheritance  incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away,  reserved in heaven for you, 

1 Peter 1:5 Who are kept by the  power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be  revealed in the last time. 

1 Peter 1:6 Wherein ye greatly rejoice,  though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness  through manifold temptations: 

1 Peter 1:7 That the trial of your  faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth,  though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and  honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ: 

1 Peter 1:8  Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye  see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable  and full of glory: 

1 Peter 1:9 Receiving the end of your faith,  even the salvation of your souls. 

1 Peter 1:10 Of which  salvation the prophets have enquired and searched  diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come  unto you: 

1 Peter 1:11 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. 

1 Peter 1:12 Unto whom it was revealed, that  not unto themselves, but unto us they did minister the  things, which are now reported unto you by them that have  preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Ghost sent  down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look  into. 

1 Peter 1:13 Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be  sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought  unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; 

1 Peter 1:14 As  obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to  the former lusts in your ignorance: 

1 Peter 1:15 But as he which  hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of  conversation; 

1 Peter 1:16 Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I  am holy. 

1 Peter 1:17 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: 

1 Peter 1:18  Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with  corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain  conversation received by tradition from your fathers;  

1 Peter 1:19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb  without blemish and without spot: 

1 Peter 1:20 Who verily was  foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was  manifest in these last times for you, 

1 Peter 1:21 Who by him do  believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave  him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God. 

1 Peter 1:22  Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth  through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see  that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently: 

1 Peter 1:23  Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of  incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth  for ever. 

1 Peter 1:24 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: 

1 Peter 1:25 But the word of the  Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the  gospel is preached unto you. KJV
