In order that the proving of your faith - much more precious than of gold that perisheth even though, by means of fire, it is proved - may be found unto praise and glory and honour in the revealing of Jesus Christ, -

Being about to bear away the end of your faith - a salvation of souls:

who, through him, are faithful towards God, - Who raised him from among the dead, and glory to him gave, So that your faith and hope are directed towards God:

Inasmuch as it is contained in scripture - Lo! I lay in Zion an outmost corner stone, chosen, held in honour, and, he that resteth faith thereupon, shall not be put to shame.

Whom resist, steadfast in your faith, knowing that, the same sufferings, in your brotherhood that is in the world, are being accomplished.

Simon Peter, servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, unto them who have obtained, equally precious, faith, with us, in the righteousness of our God, and Saviour Jesus Christ,

And, for this very reason also - adding, on your part, all diligence, supply, in your faith, excellence, and, in your excellence, knowledge,

Because, whatsoever hath been born of God, overcometh the world; and, this, is the victory that hath overcome the world - our faith.

Beloved! though I was using all diligence to be writing unto you concerning our common salvation, yet have I had necessity to write at once unto you, exhorting you to be earnestly contending for, the faith, once for all delivered unto the saints.

But, ye, beloved! building yourselves up in your most holy faith, in Holy Spirit, praying,

I know where thou dwellest, where, the throne of Satan, is; and thou art holding fast my name, and didst not deny my faith, even in the days of Antipas, my witness, my faithful one, who was killed near you, where, Satan, dwelleth.

I know thy works, and thy love, and faith, and ministry, and endurance, - and that, thy last works, are more than the first.

If anyone carrieth into captivity, into captivity, he goeth away. If anyone, with a sword, doth slay, he must, with a sword, be slain. Here, is the endurance and the faith of the saints.

Here, is, the endurance of the saints, - they who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.
