1 Peter 1:3

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

Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort;

And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.

But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.

As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:

That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us: Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil;

If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of him. ye know that every: or, know ye etc. is born: Gr. has been born

Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.

For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. is born: Gr. has been born

The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ:

Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer;

But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end.
