I. PETER I. 19.

\call_for the elders of_the church ; and ‘let_them_pray over him, -sanointing him with_oil in the name of_the Lord:
15 And the prayer of_-faith shall_save =the esick, and the Lord shall_raise him up; and if he_'“have_committed sins, -they_shall_be_forgiven him.
16 'Confess your ‘faults one_to_an- | other, and 'pray one for another, that |ye--may_be_healed. The e/ +effectual_ fervent prayer of_a_righteous man availeth much,
7 e Elias “was a man subject_to_like_ passions as _ we are, and he _ prayed wearnestly that itsmight not rain: and it_rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months.
18 And he_prayed again, and the heaven gaverain, and the earth brought_ forth her «fruit.
19 Brethren, if any «of you -do_err from the truth, and one ¢-convert him;
20 'Let _ him _ know, that he_which twesconverteth the sinner from the error | of_his way shall_save a soul from death, } and shall_chide a multitude of_sins.
THE FIRST EPISTLE GENERAL OF PETER.
PETES, an apostle of _Jesus Christ, to _ the _sstrangers scattered _ throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappa- docia, Asia, and Bithynia, 2 Elect according_to the foreknow-
af ledge of_God the Father, ‘through
sanctification of_the_Spirit, unto obedi-
2 lence and sprinkling of_the_blood of-_ ;|Jesus Christ: Grace unto_you, and . | peace, *be_multiplied.
3 Blessed be the God and Father of_ our “Lord Jesus Christ, which accord- ing_to His -abundant mercy -+hath_ begotten us again unto a! lively hope tby the resurrection of_Jesus Christ from the =dead,
4 To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that_fadeth_not_ away, “reserved in =heaven for you,
5-1 Who are_k kept ‘by the power of_ God through faith unto salvation ready to_*be_revealed in the last time ;
6 Wherein ye_greatly_rejoice, though now for_a_season, if need be, »+ye_are_ in_heavihess ‘through manifold tempta- tions:
7 That the trial of_your faith, being much more _precious than _ of _ gold that perisheth, though -it_be_tried twith fire, -might_be_found unto praise and honour and glory ‘at the r appear- ing of_Jesus Christ :
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 :
9 Receiving the end of_your «faith, |
even the salvation of_your_souls. 10 cOf which salvation the prophets
—————
| have enquired and searched diligently, who -sprophesied cof the grace that should come unto you:
11 Searching »‘ what, or what_manner_ of time the Spirit of_Christ which was inthem~did_signify,+when_It_testified_
and the =glory «that should_follow.
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 s Ghost «1sent_down from heaven ; which_things the angels desire to to_*look into.
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 ;
ing_yourselves_according to_the former lusts in your “ignorance:
15 But eas He_which -+hath_called you ts holy, so *be pe holy in -all man- ner of » conversation ;
16 Because it_‘is_written, “-*BE_YE HOLY; FOR £ AM HOLY.”
17 And if ye_ccall_on the Father, who without_respect_of_persons judgeth ac- cording_to eevery man’s work, *passthe time of_your «sojourning here in fear:
18 “Forasmuch_as_ye_know that ye_ were not redeemed with_corruptible_ things, as silver oand gold, from your -vain conversation received by_tradi- tion_from_your-_fathers ;
19 But with_the_precious blood of_
