8. whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though at present ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory;
9. receiving the end of your faith, even the saving health of your souls.
10. Of which saving health the prophets, (who prophesied of the grace that was to come in you) have enquired and searched diligently;
11. searching when and in what point of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, which announced beforehand the afflictions that were to come upon the Christ, and the glory that should follow them.
12. Unto whom it was revealed that not unto themselves, but unto us they did administer the things, which are now announced unto you by those that have preached the gospel unto you by the Holy Spirit sent down from heaven, which things the angels desire to look into.
13. Therefore, having the loins of your understanding girded with temperance, wait perfectly in the grace that is presented unto you when Jesus, the Christ, is manifested unto you,
14. as obedient sons, not conforming yourselves with the former desires that you had before in your ignorance,
15. but as he who has called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;
16. for it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.
