< 1 Peter 1 >

1 Peter, an emissary of Yeshua the Messiah, to the chosen ones who are living as foreigners in the Diaspora in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,
πετροσ αποστολοσ ιησου χριστου εκλεκτοισ παρεπιδημοισ διασπορασ ποντου γαλατιασ καππαδοκιασ ασιασ και βιθυνιασ
2 according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, in sanctification of the Spirit, that you may obey Yeshua the Messiah and be sprinkled with his blood: Grace to you and peace be multiplied.
κατα προγνωσιν θεου πατροσ εν αγιασμω πνευματοσ εισ υπακοην και ραντισμον αιματοσ ιησου χριστου χαρισ υμιν και ειρηνη πληθυνθειη
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah, who according to his great mercy caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Yeshua the Messiah from the dead,
ευλογητοσ ο θεοσ και πατηρ του κυριου ημων ιησου χριστου ο κατα το πολυ αυτου ελεοσ αναγεννησασ ημασ εισ ελπιδα ζωσαν δι αναστασεωσ ιησου χριστου εκ νεκρων
4 to an incorruptible and undefiled inheritance that doesn’t fade away, reserved in Heaven for you,
εισ κληρονομιαν αφθαρτον και αμιαντον και αμαραντον τετηρημενην εν ουρανοισ εισ υμασ
5 who by the power of God are guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
τουσ εν δυναμει θεου φρουρουμενουσ δια πιστεωσ εισ σωτηριαν ετοιμην αποκαλυφθηναι εν καιρω εσχατω
6 In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved in various trials,
εν ω αγαλλιασθε ολιγον αρτι ει δεον εστιν λυπηθεντεσ εν ποικιλοισ πειρασμοισ
7 that the proof of your faith, which is more precious than gold that perishes, even though it is tested by fire, may be found to result in praise, glory, and honour at the revelation of Yeshua the Messiah—
ινα το δοκιμιον υμων τησ πιστεωσ πολυ τιμιωτερον χρυσιου του απολλυμενου δια πυροσ δε δοκιμαζομενου ευρεθη εισ επαινον και τιμην και εισ δοξαν εν αποκαλυψει ιησου χριστου
8 whom, not having known, you love. In him, though now you don’t see him, yet believing, you rejoice greatly with joy that is unspeakable and full of glory,
ον ουκ ειδοτεσ αγαπατε εισ ον αρτι μη ορωντεσ πιστευοντεσ δε αγαλλιασθε χαρα ανεκλαλητω και δεδοξασμενη
9 receiving the result of your faith, the salvation of your souls.
κομιζομενοι το τελοσ τησ πιστεωσ υμων σωτηριαν ψυχων
10 Concerning this salvation, the prophets sought and searched diligently. They prophesied of the grace that would come to you,
περι ησ σωτηριασ εξεζητησαν και εξηρευνησαν προφηται οι περι τησ εισ υμασ χαριτοσ προφητευσαντεσ
11 searching for who or what kind of time the Spirit of Messiah which was in them pointed to when he predicted the sufferings of Messiah and the glories that would follow them.
ερευνωντεσ εισ τινα η ποιον καιρον εδηλου το εν αυτοισ πνευμα χριστου προμαρτυρομενον τα εισ χριστον παθηματα και τασ μετα ταυτα δοξασ
12 To them it was revealed that they served not themselves, but you, in these things, which now have been announced to you through those who preached the Good News to you by the Holy Spirit sent out from heaven; which things angels desire to look into.
οισ απεκαλυφθη οτι ουχ εαυτοισ υμιν δε διηκονουν αυτα α νυν ανηγγελη υμιν δια των ευαγγελισαμενων υμασ εν πνευματι αγιω αποσταλεντι απ ουρανου εισ α επιθυμουσιν αγγελοι παρακυψαι
13 Therefore prepare your minds for action. Be sober, and set your hope fully on the grace that will be brought to you at the revelation of Yeshua the Messiah—
διο αναζωσαμενοι τασ οσφυασ τησ διανοιασ υμων νηφοντεσ τελειωσ ελπισατε επι την φερομενην υμιν χαριν εν αποκαλυψει ιησου χριστου
14 as children of obedience, not conforming yourselves according to your former lusts as in your ignorance,
ωσ τεκνα υπακοησ μη συσχηματιζομενοι ταισ προτερον εν τη αγνοια υμων επιθυμιαισ
15 but just as he who called you is holy, you yourselves also be holy in all of your behaviour,
αλλα κατα τον καλεσαντα υμασ αγιον και αυτοι αγιοι εν παση αναστροφη γενηθητε
16 because it is written, “You shall be holy, for I am holy.”
διοτι γεγραπται αγιοι γινεσθε οτι εγω αγιοσ ειμι
17 If you call on him as Father, who without respect of persons judges according to each man’s work, pass the time of your living as foreigners here in reverent fear,
και ει πατερα επικαλεισθε τον απροσωποληπτωσ κρινοντα κατα το εκαστου εργον εν φοβω τον τησ παροικιασ υμων χρονον αναστραφητε
18 knowing that you were redeemed, not with corruptible things like silver or gold, from the useless way of life handed down from your fathers,
ειδοτεσ οτι ου φθαρτοισ αργυριω η χρυσιω ελυτρωθητε εκ τησ ματαιασ υμων αναστροφησ πατροπαραδοτου
19 but with precious blood, as of a lamb without blemish or spot, the blood of Messiah,
αλλα τιμιω αιματι ωσ αμνου αμωμου και ασπιλου χριστου
20 who was foreknown indeed before the foundation of the world, but was revealed in this last age for your sake,
προεγνωσμενου μεν προ καταβολησ κοσμου φανερωθεντοσ δε επ εσχατων των χρονων δι υμασ
21 who through him are believers in God, who raised him from the dead and gave him glory, so that your faith and hope might be in God.
τουσ δι αυτου πιστευοντασ εισ θεον τον εγειραντα αυτον εκ νεκρων και δοξαν αυτω δοντα ωστε την πιστιν υμων και ελπιδα ειναι εισ θεον
22 Seeing you have purified your souls in your obedience to the truth through the Spirit in sincere brotherly affection, love one another from the heart fervently,
τασ ψυχασ υμων ηγνικοτεσ εν τη υπακοη τησ αληθειασ δια πνευματοσ εισ φιλαδελφιαν ανυποκριτον εκ καθαρασ καρδιασ αλληλουσ αγαπησατε εκτενωσ
23 having been born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, through the word of God, which lives and remains forever. (aiōn g165)
αναγεγεννημενοι ουκ εκ σπορασ φθαρτησ αλλα αφθαρτου δια λογου ζωντοσ θεου και μενοντοσ εισ τον αιωνα (aiōn g165)
24 For, “All flesh is like grass, and all of man’s glory like the flower in the grass. The grass withers, and its flower falls;
διοτι πασα σαρξ ωσ χορτοσ και πασα δοξα ανθρωπου ωσ ανθοσ χορτου εξηρανθη ο χορτοσ και το ανθοσ αυτου εξεπεσεν
25 but the Lord’s word endures forever.” This is the word of Good News which was preached to you. (aiōn g165)
το δε ρημα κυριου μενει εισ τον αιωνα τουτο δε εστιν το ρημα το ευαγγελισθεν εισ υμασ (aiōn g165)
