< 1 Peter 1 >

1 Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the strangers dispersed through Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, elect,
Petrus apostolus Iesu Christi electis advenis dispersionis Ponti Galatiae Cappadociae Asiae et Bithyniae
2 According to the foreknowledge of God the Father, unto the sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you and peace be multiplied.
secundum praescientiam Dei Patris in sanctificatione Spiritus in oboedientiam et aspersionem sanguinis Iesu Christi gratia vobis et pax multiplicetur
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to his great mercy hath regenerated us unto a lively hope, by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
benedictus Deus et Pater Domini nostri Iesu Christi qui secundum magnam misericordiam suam regeneravit nos in spem vivam per resurrectionem Iesu Christi ex mortuis
4 Unto an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that can not fade, reserved in heaven for you,
in hereditatem incorruptibilem et incontaminatam et inmarcescibilem conservatam in caelis in vobis
5 Who, by the power of God, are kept by faith unto salvation, ready to be revealed in the last time.
qui in virtute Dei custodimini per fidem in salutem paratam revelari in tempore novissimo
6 Wherein you shall greatly rejoice, if now you must be for a little time made sorrowful in divers temptations:
in quo exultatis modicum nunc si oportet contristati in variis temptationibus
7 That the trial of your faith (much more precious than gold which is tried by the fire) may be found unto praise and glory and honour at the appearing of Jesus Christ:
ut probatum vestrae fidei multo pretiosius sit auro quod perit per ignem probato inveniatur in laudem et gloriam et honorem in revelatione Iesu Christi
8 Whom having not seen, you love: in whom also now, though you see him not, you believe: and believing shall rejoice with joy unspeakable and glorified;
quem cum non videritis diligitis in quem nunc quoque non videntes credentes autem exultatis laetitia inenarrabili et glorificata
9 Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.
reportantes finem fidei vestrae salutem animarum
10 Of which salvation the prophets have inquired and diligently searched, who prophesied of the grace to come in you.
de qua salute exquisierunt atque scrutati sunt prophetae qui de futura in vobis gratia prophetaverunt
11 Searching what or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ in them did signify: when it foretold those sufferings that are in Christ, and the glories that should follow:
scrutantes in quod vel quale tempus significaret in eis Spiritus Christi praenuntians eas quae in Christo sunt passiones et posteriores glorias
12 To whom it was revealed, that not to themselves, but to you they ministered those things which are now declared to you by them that have preached the gospel to you, the Holy Ghost being sent down from heaven, on whom the angels desire to look.
quibus revelatum est quia non sibi ipsis vobis autem ministrabant ea quae nunc nuntiata sunt vobis per eos qui evangelizaverunt vos Spiritu Sancto misso de caelo in quae desiderant angeli prospicere
13 Wherefore having the loins of your mind girt up, being sober, trust perfectly in the grace which is offered you in the revelation of Jesus Christ,
propter quod succincti lumbos mentis vestrae sobrii perfecte sperate in eam quae offertur vobis gratiam in revelatione Iesu Christi
14 As children of obedience, not fashioned according to the former desires of your ignorance:
quasi filii oboedientiae non configurati prioribus ignorantiae vestrae desideriis
15 But according to him that hath called you, who is holy, be you also in all manner of conversation holy:
sed secundum eum qui vocavit vos sanctum et ipsi sancti in omni conversatione sitis
16 Because it is written: You shall be holy, for I am holy.
quoniam scriptum est sancti eritis quia ego sanctus sum
17 And if you invoke as Father him who, without respect of persons, judgeth according to every one’s work: converse in fear during the time of your sojourning here.
et si Patrem invocatis eum qui sine acceptione personarum iudicat secundum uniuscuiusque opus in timore incolatus vestri tempore conversamini
18 Knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things as gold or silver, from your vain conversation of the tradition of your fathers:
scientes quod non corruptibilibus argento vel auro redempti estis de vana vestra conversatione paternae traditionis
19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb unspotted and undefiled,
sed pretioso sanguine quasi agni incontaminati et inmaculati Christi
20 Foreknown indeed before the foundation of the world, but manifested in the last times for you,
praecogniti quidem ante constitutionem mundi manifestati autem novissimis temporibus propter vos
21 Who through him are faithful in God, who raised him up from the dead, and hath given him glory, that your faith and hope might be in God.
qui per ipsum fideles estis in Deo qui suscitavit eum a mortuis et dedit ei gloriam ut fides vestra et spes esset in Deo
22 Purifying your souls in the obedience of charity, with a brotherly love, from a sincere heart love one another earnestly:
animas vestras castificantes in oboedientia caritatis in fraternitatis amore simplici ex corde invicem diligite adtentius
23 Being born again not of corruptible seed, but incorruptible, by the word of God who liveth and remaineth for ever. (aiōn g165)
renati non ex semine corruptibili sed incorruptibili per verbum Dei vivi et permanentis (aiōn g165)
24 For all flesh is as grass; and all the glory thereof as the flower of grass. The grass is withered, and the flower thereof is fallen away.
quia omnis caro ut faenum et omnis gloria eius tamquam flos faeni exaruit faenum et flos decidit
25 But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel hath been preached unto you. (aiōn g165)
verbum autem Domini manet in aeternum hoc est autem verbum quod evangelizatum est in vos (aiōn g165)
