< 1 Peter 1 >

1 Peter an apostle of Jesus Christ To [the] elect sojourners of [the] Dispersion of Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,
Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the strangers scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,
2 according to [the] foreknowledge of God [the] Father by [the] sanctification of [the] Spirit unto [the] obedience and sprinkling of [the] blood of Jesus Christ: Grace to you and peace would be multiplied.
Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, (pneuma) unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied.
3 Blessed [be] the God and Father of the Lord of us Jesus Christ, the [One] according to the great of Him mercy having begotten again us to a hope living through [the] resurrection of Jesus Christ out from [the] dead,
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy has begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
4 to an inheritance imperishable and undefiled and unfading reserved in [the] heavens for (you *NK+O)
To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fades not away, reserved in heaven for you,
5 who by [the] power of God [are] being guarded through faith for [the] salvation ready to be revealed in [the] time last;
Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
6 in which you greatly rejoice for a little while at present, if being necessary it is, (having been put to grief *NK+o) by various trials
Wherein all of you greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, all of you are in heaviness through manifold temptations:
7 so that the proven genuineness of your faith (more precious *N+kO) than gold which is perishing through fire though being refined it may be discovered towards praise and (towards *o) glory and honor in [the] revelation of Jesus Christ;
That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perishes, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:
8 whom not (having seen *N+kO) you love, on whom now [though] not seeing believing now (you yourself rejoice *NK+o) with joy inexpressible and glory-filled,
Whom having not seen, all of you love; in whom, though now all of you see him not, yet believing, all of you rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:
9 receiving the outcome of the faith of you, [the] salvation of [your] souls;
Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.
10 Concerning this salvation sought out and searched out diligently [the] prophets of the toward you grace having prophesied,
Of which salvation the prophets have enquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you:
11 inquiring into what or what manner of time was signifying the in them Spirit of Christ testifying beforehand unto Christ's sufferings and the after these glories;
Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit (pneuma) of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow.
12 to whom it was revealed that not themselves (you *N+KO) however they were serving in those things which now have been proclaimed to you through those having evangelised you by [the] Spirit Holy having been sent from heaven, into which desire angels to look.
Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto us they did minister the things, which are now reported unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Spirit (pneuma) sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into.
13 Therefore having girded up the loins of the mind of you, being sober-minded, fully do set [your] hope upon which is being brought to you grace in [the] revelation of Jesus Christ.
Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;
14 as children of obedience not fashioning yourselves to the former in the ignorance of you desires,
As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance:
15 But as the [One] having called you [is] holy also yourselves holy in all [your] conduct do be,
But as he which has called you is holy, so be all of you holy in all manner of conversation;
16 because it has been written: (that *no) Holy (you will be, *N+k+o) because I myself holy (am. *NK)
Because it is written, Be all of you holy; for I am holy.
17 And if [as] Father you call on the [One] impartially judging according to the of each work, in fear during the of the sojourn of you time do conduct yourselves;
And if all of you call on the Father, who without respect of persons judges according to every man's work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear:
18 knowing that not by perishable things — by silver or by gold — you were redeemed from the futile of you manner of life handed down from [your] fathers,
Forasmuch as all of you know that all of you were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers;
19 but by [the] precious blood as of a lamb without blemish and without spot of Christ,
But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:
20 foreknown indeed before [the] foundation [the] world, having been revealed however in ([this] last *N+kO) of the times for the sake of you
Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,
21 who through Him (believing *N+kO) in God, the [one] having raised up Him out from [the] dead and glory Him having given, so as for the faith of you and hope to be in God.
Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God.
22 The souls of you having purified by obedience to the truth (through spirit *K) unto brotherly love sincere out of purity of heart one another do love fervently;
Seeing all of you have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit (pneuma) unto sincere love of the brethren, see that all of you love one another with a pure heart fervently:
23 born again not of seed perishable but of imperishable through [the] word living of God and abiding (into the age; *K) (aiōn g165)
Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word (logos) of God, which lives and abides for ever. (aiōn g165)
24 because All flesh [is] like grass, and all [the] glory (of it *N+KO) like [the] flower of grass; Withers the grass, and the flower (of him *K) falls away;
For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withers, and the flower thereof falls away:
25 but the declaration of [the] Lord abides to the age. This now is the declaration which having been evangelised to you. (aiōn g165)
But the word (rhema) of the Lord endures for ever. And this is the word (rhema) which by the gospel is preached unto you. (aiōn g165)
