Through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. In this you rejoice, though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been grieved by various trials, so that the tested genuineness of your faith-more precious than gold that perishes though it is tested by fire may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of JESUS CHRIST. Though you have not seen HIM, you love HIM. Though you do not now see HIM, you believe in HIM and rejoice with joy that is inexpressible and filled with glory, obtaining the outcome of your faith, the salvation of your souls.

"All flesh is like grass and all its glory like the flower of grass. The grass withers and the flower falls, but the Word of the LORD remains forever."

So removed all malice and all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and slander of every kind. Be compassionate and humble. Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult. On the contrary, repay evil with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing. For, "Whoever would love life and see good days must keep their tongue from evil and their lips from deceitful speech. They must turn from evil and do good they must seek peace and pursue it. For the eyes of the LORD are on the righteous and His ears are attentive to their prayer, but the face of the LORD is against those who do evil."
If you should suffer for doing what is right, you are blessed. Keep a clear conscience, so that those who speak maliciously against your good behavior in CHRIST may be ashamed of their slander. For it is better, if it is GOD'S will, to suffer for doing good than for doing evil. For CHRIST also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, that He might bring you to GOD.
Whoever suffers in the body is done with sin. As a result, they do not live the rest of their earthly lives for evil human desires, but rather for the will of GOD.
"If it is hard for the righteous to be saved, what will become of the ungodly and the sinner" So then, those according to GOD'S will should commit themselves to their faithful Creator and continue to do good. Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of GOD so that HE may exalt you at the proper time, cast all your anxieties on HIM, because HE cares for you. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings.
Make every effort to add to your faith goodness and to goodness, knowledge and to knowledge, self control and to self control, perseverance and to perseverance, godliness and to godliness, mutual affection and to mutual affection, love.
there are false prophets , just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign LORD WHO brought them bringing swift destruction on themselves. In their greed these teachers will exploit you with fabricated stories. GOD did not spare angels when they sinned, but sent them to hell, putting them in chains of darkness to be held for judgment.Bold and arrogant, they are not afraid to keep abuse on celestial beings yet even angels, although they are stronger and more powerful, do not keep abuse on such beings when bringing judgment on them from the LORD. But these people blaspheme in matters they do not understand. they are like unreasoning animals, creatures of instinct, born only to be caught and destroyed, and like animals they too will perish. They will be paid back with harm for the harm they have done. Their idea of pleasure is to carouse in broad daylight. They are blots and blemished, reveling in their pleasures while they feast with you. With eyes full of adultery, they never stop sinning they seduce the unstable they are experts in greed an accursed brood. They have left the straight way and wandered off to follow the way of Balaam, who loved the wages of wickedness. Of them the proverbs are true: "A dog returns to its vomit, and, " A sow that is washed returns to her wallowing in the mud."
You must understand that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires saying, "Where is this 'coming 'he promised? Ever since our ancestors died, everything goes on as it has since the beginning of creation." But they deliberately forget that long ago by GOD'S word the heavens came into being and the earth was formed out of water and by water. By these waters also the world of that time was deluged and destroyed. By the same word the present heavens and earth are reserved for fire, being kept for the day of judgment and destruction of the ungodly.

Do not forget, with the LORD a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. The LORD is not slow in keeping His promise, as some understand slowness. Instead He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. But the day of the LORD will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything done in it will be laid bare. The elements will melt in the heat, but in keeping with His promise we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, where righteousness dwells. So then, make every effort to be found spotless, blameless and at peace with HIM.
