Πετρου Α΄ 1
1 πετροσ αποστολοσ ιησου χριστου εκλεκτοισ παρεπιδημοισ διασπορασ ποντου γαλατιασ καππαδοκιασ ασιασ και βιθυνιασ
Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the chosen ones who are living as foreigners in the Diaspora in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,
2 κατα προγνωσιν θεου πατροσ εν αγιασμω πνευματοσ εισ υπακοην και ραντισμον αιματοσ ιησου χριστου χαρισ υμιν και ειρηνη πληθυνθειη
according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, in sanctification of the Spirit, that you may obey Jesus Christ and be sprinkled with his blood: Grace to you and peace be multiplied.
3 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
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to his great mercy caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
4 εισ κληρονομιαν αφθαρτον και αμιαντον και αμαραντον τετηρημενην εν ουρανοισ εισ υμασ
to an incorruptible and undefiled inheritance that does not fade away, reserved in Heaven for you,
5 τουσ εν δυναμει θεου φρουρουμενουσ δια πιστεωσ εισ σωτηριαν ετοιμην αποκαλυφθηναι εν καιρω εσχατω
who by the power of God are guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
6 εν ω αγαλλιασθε ολιγον αρτι ει δεον εστιν λυπηθεντεσ εν ποικιλοισ πειρασμοισ
Wherein you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been grieved by various trials,
7 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
that the genuineness 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 and glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed—
8 ον ουκ ειδοτεσ αγαπατε εισ ον αρτι μη ορωντεσ πιστευοντεσ δε αγαλλιασθε χαρα ανεκλαλητω και δεδοξασμενη
whom not having seen you love; in whom, though now you do not see him, yet believing, you rejoice greatly with joy inexpressible and full of glory—
9 κομιζομενοι το τελοσ τησ πιστεωσ υμων σωτηριαν ψυχων
receiving the result of your faith, the salvation of your souls.
10 περι ησ σωτηριασ εξεζητησαν και εξηρευνησαν προφηται οι περι τησ εισ υμασ χαριτοσ προφητευσαντεσ
Concerning this salvation, the prophets sought and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that would come to you,
11 ερευνωντεσ εισ τινα η ποιον καιρον εδηλου το εν αυτοισ πνευμα χριστου προμαρτυρομενον τα εισ χριστον παθηματα και τασ μετα ταυτα δοξασ
searching for who or what kind of time the Spirit of Christ, which was in them, pointed to, when he predicted the sufferings of Christ, and the glories that would follow them.
12 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
To them it was revealed, that not to themselves, but to you, they ministered 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.
13 διο αναζωσαμενοι τασ οσφυασ τησ διανοιασ υμων νηφοντεσ τελειωσ ελπισατε επι την φερομενην υμιν χαριν εν αποκαλυψει ιησου χριστου
Therefore, prepare your minds for action, be sober and set your hope fully on the grace that will be brought to you when Jesus Christ is revealed.
14 ωσ τεκνα υπακοησ μη συσχηματιζομενοι ταισ προτερον εν τη αγνοια υμων επιθυμιαισ
As obedient children, do not be conformed to the desires as in your ignorance,
15 αλλα κατα τον καλεσαντα υμασ αγιον και αυτοι αγιοι εν παση αναστροφη γενηθητε
but just as he who called you is holy, you yourselves also be holy in all of your behavior;
16 διοτι γεγραπται αγιοι γινεσθε οτι εγω αγιοσ ειμι
because it is written, "Be holy, for I am holy."
17 και ει πατερα επικαλεισθε τον απροσωποληπτωσ κρινοντα κατα το εκαστου εργον εν φοβω τον τησ παροικιασ υμων χρονον αναστραφητε
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:
18 ειδοτεσ οτι ου φθαρτοισ αργυριω η χρυσιω ελυτρωθητε εκ τησ ματαιασ υμων αναστροφησ πατροπαραδοτου
knowing that you were redeemed, not with corruptible things, with silver or gold, from the useless way of life handed down from your fathers,
19 αλλα τιμιω αιματι ωσ αμνου αμωμου και ασπιλου χριστου
but with precious blood, as of an unblemished and spotless lamb, namely Christ.
20 προεγνωσμενου μεν προ καταβολησ κοσμου φανερωθεντοσ δε επ εσχατων των χρονων δι υμασ
He was chosen in advance before the foundation of the world, but was revealed in these last times for your sake,
21 τουσ δι αυτου πιστευοντασ εισ θεον τον εγειραντα αυτον εκ νεκρων και δοξαν αυτω δοντα ωστε την πιστιν υμων και ελπιδα ειναι εισ θεον
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.
22 τασ ψυχασ υμων ηγνικοτεσ εν τη υπακοη τησ αληθειασ δια πνευματοσ εισ φιλαδελφιαν ανυποκριτον εκ καθαρασ καρδιασ αλληλουσ αγαπησατε εκτενωσ
Seeing you have purified your souls in your obedience to the truth in sincere brotherly affection, love one another from a pure heart fervently:
23 αναγεγεννημενοι ουκ εκ σπορασ φθαρτησ αλλα αφθαρτου δια λογου ζωντοσ θεου και μενοντοσ εισ τον αιωνα (aiōn g165)
having been born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, through the living and abiding word of God. (aiōn g165)
24 διοτι πασα σαρξ ωσ χορτοσ και πασα δοξα ανθρωπου ωσ ανθοσ χορτου εξηρανθη ο χορτοσ και το ανθοσ αυτου εξεπεσεν
For, "All flesh is like grass, and all its glory like the flower in the grass. The grass withers, and its flower falls;
