6 Wherein you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been grieved by various trials,
Wherein you greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, you are in heaviness through manifold temptations:

That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perishes, though it be tried with fire, might be found to praise and honor and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:

10 Concerning this salvation, the prophets sought and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that would come to you,
Of which salvation the prophets have inquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come to you:
11 searching for who or what kind of time the Ruach of Messiah, which was in them, pointed to, when he predicted the sufferings of Messiah, and the glories that would follow them.
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.
12 To them it was revealed, that not to themselves, but to you, they ministered these things, which now have been announced to you through those who preached the Good News to you by the Ruach ha-Kodesh sent out from heaven; which things angels desire to look into.
To whom it was revealed, that not to themselves, but to us they did minister the things, which are now reported to you by them that have preached the gospel to you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into.

Why gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;
14 As obedient children, do not be conformed to the desires as in your ignorance,
As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance:
15 but just as he who called you is holy, you yourselves also be holy in all of your behavior;
But as he which has called you is holy, so be you holy in all manner of conversation;
16 because it is written, "You shall be holy; for I am holy."
Because it is written, Be you holy; for I am holy.

But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:
20 He was chosen in advance before the foundation of the world, but was revealed in these last times for your sake,
Who truly was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,
21 who through him are believers in God, who raised him from the dead, and gave him glory; so that your faith and hope might be in God.
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.

Seeing you have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit to unfeigned love of the brothers, see that you love one another with a pure heart fervently:

Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which lives and stays for ever. (aiōn g165)
