PETER THE APOSTLE + +The first Epistle of St. Peter, though brief, contains much doctrine +concerning Faith, Hope, and Charity, with divers instructions to all +persons of what state or condition soever. The Apostle commands +submission to rulers and superiors and exhorts all to the practice of a +virtuous life in imitation, of Christ. This Epistle is written with such +apostolical dignity as to manifest the supreme authority with which its +writer, the Prince of the Apostles, had been vested by his Lord and +Master, Jesus Christ. He wrote it at Rome, which figuratively he calls +Babylon, about fifteen years after our Lord's Ascension. + + +1 Peter Chapter 1 + +He gives thanks to God for the benefit of our being called to the true +faith and to eternal life, into which we are to enter by many +tribulations. He exhorts to holiness of life, considering the holiness +of God and our redemption by the blood of Christ. + +1:1. Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the strangers dispersed +through Pontus, Cappadocia, Asia and Bithynia, elect, + +1:2. According to the foreknowledge of God the Father, unto the +sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood +of Jesus Christ. Grace unto you and peace be multiplied. + +1:3. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who +according to his great mercy hath regenerated us unto a lively hope, by +the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead: + +1:4. Unto an inheritance, incorruptible, and undefiled and that cannot +fade, reserved in heaven for you, + +1:5. Who, by the power of God, are kept by faith unto salvation, ready +to be revealed in the last time. + +1:6. Wherein you shalt greatly rejoice, if now you must be for a little +time made sorrowful in divers temptations: + +1:7. That the trial of your faith (much more precious than gold which is +tried by the fire) may be found unto praise and glory and honour at the +appearing of Jesus Christ. + +1:8. Whom having not seen, you love: in whom also now though you see him +not, you believe and, believing, shall rejoice with joy unspeakable and +glorified; + +1:9. Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls. + +1:10. Of which salvation the prophets have inquired and diligently +searched, who prophesied of the grace to come in you. + +1:11. Searching what or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ in them +did signify, when it foretold those sufferings that are in Christ and +the glories that should follow. + +1:12. To whom it was revealed that, not to themselves but to you, they +ministered those things which are now declared to you by them that have +preached the gospel to you: the Holy Ghost being sent down from heaven, +on whom the angels desire to look. + +1:13. Wherefore, having the loins of your mind girt up, being sober, +trust perfectly in the grace which is offered you in the revelation of +Jesus Christ. + +1:14. As children of obedience, not fashioned according to the former +desires of your ignorance, + +1:15. But according to him that hath called you, who is holy, be you +also in all manner of conversation holy: + +1:16. Because it is written: You shall be holy, for I am holy. + +1:17. And if you invoke as Father him who, without respect of persons, +judgeth according to every one's work: converse in fear during the time +of your sojourning here. + +1:18. Knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, as +gold or silver, from your vain conversation of the tradition of your +fathers: + +1:19. But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb unspotted and +undefiled. + +1:20. Foreknown indeed before the foundation of the world, but +manifested in the last times for you: + +1:21. Who through him are faithful in God who raised him up from the +dead and hath given him glory, that your faith and hope might be in God. + +1:22. Purifying your souls in the obedience of charity, with a brotherly +love, from a sincere heart love one another earnestly: + +1:23. Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but incorruptible, by +the word of God who liveth and remaineth for ever. + +1:24. For all flesh is as grass and all the glory thereof as the flower +of grass. The grass is withered and the flower thereof is fallen away. + +1:25. But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word +which by the gospel hath been preached unto you. + +1 Peter Chapter 2 + +We are to lay aside all guile and go to Christ the living stone, and, as +being now his people, walk worthily of him, with submission to superiors +and patience under sufferings. + +2:1. Wherefore laying away all malice and all guile and dissimulations +and envies and all detractions, + +2:2. As newborn babes, desire the rational milk without guile, that +thereby you may grow unto salvation: + +2:3. If so be you have tasted that the Lord is sweet. + +2:4. Unto whom coming, as to a living stone, rejected indeed by men but +chosen and made honourable by God: + +2:5. Be you also as living stones built up, a spiritual house, a holy +priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus +Christ. + +2:6. Wherefore it is said in the scripture: Behold, I lay in Sion a +chief corner stone, elect, precious. And he that shall believe in him +shall not be confounded. + +2:7. To you therefore that believe, he is honour: but to them that +believe not, the stone which the builders rejected, the same is made the +head of the corner: + +2:8. And a stone of stumbling and a rock of scandal, to them who stumble +at the word, neither do believe, whereunto also they are set. + +2:9. But you are a chosen generation, a kingly priesthood, a holy +nation, a purchased people: that you may declare his virtues, who hath +called you out of darkness into his marvelous light: + +2:10. Who in times past were not a people: but are now the people of +God. Who had not obtained mercy: but now have obtained mercy. + +2:11. Dearly beloved, I beseech you, as strangers and pilgrims, to +refrain yourselves from carnal desires which war against the soul, + +2:12. Having your conversation good among the Gentiles: that whereas +they speak against you as evildoers, they may, by the good works which +they shall behold in you, glorify God in the day of visitation. + +2:13. Be ye subject therefore to every human creature for God's sake: +whether it be to the king as excelling, + +2:14. Or to governors as sent by him for the punishment of evildoers and +for the praise of the good. + +2:15. For so is the will of God, that by doing well you may put to +silence the ignorance of foolish men: + +2:16. As free and not as making liberty a cloak for malice, but as the +servants of God. + +2:17. Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king. + +2:18. Servants, be subject to your masters with all fear, not only to +the good and gentle but also to the froward. + +2:19. For this is thankworthy: if, for conscience towards God, a man +endure sorrows, suffering wrongfully. + +2:20. For what glory is it, if, committing sin and being buffeted for +it, you endure? But if doing well you suffer patiently: this is +thankworthy before God. + +2:21. For unto this are you called: because Christ also suffered for us, +leaving you an example that you should follow his steps. + +2:22. Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth. + +2:23. Who, when he was reviled, did not revile: when he suffered, he +threatened not, but delivered himself to him that judged him unjustly. + +2:24. Who his own self bore our sins in his body upon the tree: that we, +being dead to sins, should live to justice: by whose stripes you were +healed. + +2:25. For you were as sheep going astray: but you are now converted to +the shepherd and bishop of your souls. + +1 Peter Chapter 3 + +How wives are to behave to their husbands. What ornaments they are to +seek. Exhortations to divers Virtues. + +3:1. In like manner also, let wives be subject to their husbands: that, +if any believe not the word, they may be won without the word, by the +conversation of the wives, + +3:2. Considering your chaste conversation with fear. + +3:3. Whose adorning, let it not be the outward plaiting of the hair, or +the wearing of gold, or the putting on of apparel: + +3:4. But the hidden man of the heart, in the incorruptibility of a quiet +and a meek spirit which is rich in the sight of God. + +3:5. For after this manner heretofore, the holy women also who trusted +in God adorned themselves, being in subjection to their own husbands: + +3:6. As Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose daughters you are, +doing well and not fearing any disturbance. + +3:7. Ye husbands, likewise dwelling with them according to knowledge, +giving honour to the female as to the weaker vessel and as to the +co-heirs of the grace of life: that your prayers be not hindered. + +3:8. And in fine, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of +another, being lovers of the brotherhood, merciful, modest, humble: + +3:9. Not rendering evil for evil, nor railing for railing, but +contrariwise, blessing: for unto this are you called, that you may +inherit a blessing. + +3:10. For he that will love life and see good days, let him refrain his +tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile. + +3:11. Let him decline from evil and do good: Let him seek after peace +and pursue it: + +3:12. Because the eyes of the Lord are upon the just, and his ears unto +their prayers but the countenance of the Lord upon them that do evil +things. + +3:13. And who is he that can hurt you, if you be zealous of good? + +3:14. But if also you suffer any thing for justice' sake, blessed are +ye. And be not afraid of their fear: and be not troubled. + +3:15. But sanctify the Lord Christ in your hearts, being ready always to +satisfy every one that asketh you a reason of that hope which is in you. + +3:16. But with modesty and fear, having a good conscience: that whereas +they speak evil of you, they may be ashamed who falsely accuse your good +conversation in Christ. + +3:17. For it is better doing well (if such be the will of God) to suffer +than doing ill. + +3:18. Because Christ also died once for our sins, the just for the +unjust: that he might offer us to God, being put to death indeed in the +flesh, but enlivened in the spirit, + +3:19. In which also coming he preached to those spirits that were in +prison: + +Spirits that were in prison... See here a proof of a third place, or +middle state of souls: for these spirits in prison, to whom Christ went +to preach, after his death, were not in heaven; nor yet in the hell of +the damned: because heaven is no prison: and Christ did not go to preach +to the damned. + +3:20. Which had been some time incredulous, when they waited for the +patience of God in the days of Noe, when the ark was a building: wherein +a few, that is, eight souls, were saved by water. + +3:21. Whereunto baptism, being of the like form, now saveth you also: +not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but, the examination of +a good conscience towards God by the resurrection of Jesus Christ. + +Whereunto baptism, etc... Baptism is said to be of the like form with +the water by which Noe was saved, because the one was a figure of the +other. Not the putting away, etc... As much as to say, that baptism has +not its efficacy, in order to salvation, from its washing away any +bodily filth or dirt; but from its purging the conscience from sin, when +accompanied with suitable dispositions in the party, to answer the +interrogations made at that time, with relation to faith, the renouncing +of Satan with all his works; and the obedience to God's commandments. + +3:22. Who is on the right hand of God, swallowing down death that we +might be made heirs of life everlasting: being gone into heaven, the +angels and powers and virtues being made subject to him. + +1 Peter Chapter 4 + +Exhortations to cease from sin, to mutual charity, to do all for the +glory of God, to be willing to suffer for Christ. + +4:1. Christ therefore having suffered in the flesh, be you also armed +with the same thought: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath +ceased from sins: + +4:2. That now he may live the rest of his time in the flesh, not after +the desires of men but according to the will of God. + +4:3. For the time past is sufficient to have fulfilled the will of the +Gentiles, for them who have walked in riotousness, lusts, excess of +wine, revellings, banquetings and unlawful worshipping of idols. + +4:4. Wherein they think it strange that you run not with them into the +same confusion of riotousness: speaking evil of you. + +4:5. Who shall render account to him who is ready to judge the living +and the dead. + +4:6. For, for this cause was the gospel preached also to the dead: That +they might be judged indeed according to men, in the flesh: but may live +according to God, in the Spirit. + +4:7. But the end of all is at hand. Be prudent therefore and watch in +prayers. + +4:8. But before all things have a constant mutual charity among +yourselves: for charity covereth a multitude of sins. + +4:9. Using hospitality one towards another, without murmuring, + +4:10. As every man hath received grace, ministering the same one to +another: as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. + +4:11. If any man speak, let him speak, as the words of God. If any +minister, let him do it, as of the power which God administereth: that +in all things God may be honoured through Jesus Christ: to whom is glory +and empire for ever and ever. Amen. + +4:12. Dearly beloved, think not strange the burning heat which is to try +you: as if some new thing happened to you. + +4:13. But if you partake of the sufferings of Christ, rejoice that, when +his glory shall be revealed, you may also be glad with exceeding joy. + +4:14. If you be reproached for the name of Christ, you shall be blessed: +for that which is of the honour, glory and power of God, and that which +is his Spirit resteth upon you. + +4:15. But let none of you suffer as a murderer or a thief or a railer or +coveter of other men's things. + +4:16. But, if as a Christian, let him not be ashamed: but let him +glorify God in that name. + +4:17. For the time is, that judgment should begin at the house of God. +And if at first at us, what shall be the end of them that believe not +the gospel of God? + +4:18. And if the just man shall scarcely be saved, where shall the +ungodly and the sinner appear? + +Scarcely... That is, not without much labour and difficulty; and because +of the dangers which constantly surround, the temptations of the world, +of the devil, and of our own corrupt nature. + +4:19. Wherefore let them also that suffer according to the will of God +commend their souls in good deeds to the faithful Creator. + +1 Peter Chapter 5 + +He exhorts both priests and laity to their respective duties and +recommends to all humility and watchfulness. + +5:1. The ancients therefore that are among you, I beseech who am myself +also an ancient and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, as also a +partaker of that glory which is to be revealed in time to come: + +5:2. Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking care of it, not by +constraint but willingly, according to God: not for filthy lucre's sake +but voluntarily: + +5:3. Neither as lording it over the clergy but being made a pattern of +the flock from the heart. + +5:4. And when the prince of pastors shall appear, you shall receive a +never fading crown of glory. + +5:5. In like manner, ye young men, be subject to the ancients. And do +you all insinuate humility one to another: for God resisteth the proud, +but to the humble he giveth grace. + +5:6. Be you humbled therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may +exalt you in the time of visitation: + +5:7. Casting all your care upon him, for he hath care of you. + +5:8. Be sober and watch: because your adversary the devil, as a roaring +lion, goeth about seeking whom he may devour. + +5:9. Whom resist ye, strong in faith: knowing that the same affliction +befalls, your brethren who are in the world. + +5:10. But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal +glory in Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a little, will himself +perfect you and confirm you and establish you. + +5:11. To him be glory and empire, for ever and ever. Amen. + +5:12. By Sylvanus, a faithful brother unto you, as I think, I have +written briefly: beseeching and testifying that this is the true grace +of God, wherein you stand. + +5:13. The church that is in Babylon, elected together with you, saluteth +you. And so doth my son, Mark. + +5:14. Salute one another with a holy kiss. Grace be to all you who are +in Christ Jesus. Amen. + + + + + +*** END OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK, THE BIBLE, DOUAY-RHEIMS, BOOK 67 *** + +*********** This file should be named 8367.txt or 8367.zip *********** + +Produced by David Widger + +Project Gutenberg eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the US +unless a copyright notice is included.
