| To those on whom the Spirit’s poured | 1P 1:2 |
| Wrote Peter, servant of the Lord: | 1P 1:1 |
| Praise God who granted us new life, | 1P 1:3 |
| Far greater than our present strife. | 1P 1:6 |
| Your faith leads to elation pure, | 1P 1:8 |
| Delivering salvation sure. | 1P 1:9 |
| So don’t return to sinful ways, | 1P 1:14 |
| but dwell on grace throughout your days | 1P 1:13 |
| Be holy, following God’s lead. | 1P 1:15-16 |
| From emptiness you have been freed. | 1P 1:18-19 |
| May purity set you apart | 1P 1:22 |
| Now love, and love with all your heart. | |
| Reborn, we now are God’s own spore, | 1P 1:23 |
| Whose word endures forevermore. | 1P 1:25 |
| Therefore you must eliminate | 1P 2:1 |
| All lies and slander, envy, hate. | |
| Be nourished by the word of God | 1P 2:3 |
| and join the royal, priestly squad, | 1P 2:5 |
| Who shine the light, who make it known: | 1P 2:9 |
| God laid a precious cornerstone. | 1P 2:6 |
| Exemplifying how to live: | 1P 2:21-24 |
| When you are wronged, like him, forgive. | 1P 2:15-20 |
| As strangers in this world we’re in, | 1P 2:11 |
| Be known for good deeds, not for sin. | 1P 2:12 |
| In all positions heed God's call. | 1P 3:1-12 |
| Respect the Lord and honor all. | 1P 2:17 |
| Defend the faith by saying why | 1P 3:15 |
| you serve the Christ the Lord on high. | |
| To chase the flesh is to be dead. | 1P 4:1-5 |
| Pursue the godly life instead. | 1P 4:6 |
| The end is near. Be ready, pray. | 1P 4:7 |
| Love everyone who comes your way. | 1P 4:8-9 |
| Whatever gift you have received, | 1P 4:10 |
| Through you, may God’s will be achieved. | 1P 4:11 |
| Remember now, hard times will come. | 1P 4:12 |
| Much glory, though, to suffer some. | 1P 4:13-14 |
