1 Peter 1

Thank you, father, that by your grace you foreknew me, and you elected me to be sanctified by your Spirit for obedience and for cleansing by the sacrifice of the Lord Jesus.

Your grace is on me, and your peace is multiplied in me. Blessed are you, my God, and the father of my Lord Jesus, your son and your Christ.

Through Christ’s perfect life and the toning sacrifice, I have been born again into a living hope proven by his resurrection. I have an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled that does not fade away reserved in heaven for me.

I am kept by your sovereign power, father, through faith for salvation which will be fully revealed in your perfect time.

In these things I rejoice greatly though for a short while I may be grieved by various trials. These trials prove the genuineness of my faith.

In everything I believe in Jesus Christ. I give him praise, honor, and glory. By faith I receive the salvation of my soul. I rejoice in that salvation with joy inexpressible and full of glory.
