1 Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ,
To the elect who are exiles of the Dispersion throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, chosen

A Living Hope
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! By His great mercy He has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
4 TO AN INHERITANCE IMPERISHABLE AND UNDEFILED AND UNFADING RESERVED IN [THE] HEAVENS FOR YOU
4 and into an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, 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;
5 who through faith are shielded by God’s power for the salvation that is 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 BY VARIOUS TRIALS
6 In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in various trials
7 SO THAT THE PROVEN GENUINENESS OF YOUR <THE> FAITH MORE PRECIOUS THAN GOLD WHICH IS PERISHING THROUGH FIRE THOUGH BEING REFINED IT MAY BE DISCOVERED TOWARDS PRAISE AND TOWARDS GLORY AND HONOR IN [THE] REVELATION OF JESUS CHRIST;
7 so that the proven character of your faith— more precious than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire— may result in praise, glory, and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ.
8 WHOM NOT HAVING SEEN YOU LOVE, ON WHOM NOW [THOUGH] NOT SEEING BELIEVING NOW YOU YOURSELF REJOICE WITH JOY INEXPRESSIBLE AND GLORY-FILLED,
8 Though you have not seen Him, you love Him; and though you do not see Him now, you believe in Him and rejoice with an inexpressible and glorious joy,
9 RECEIVING THE OUTCOME OF THE FAITH OF YOU, [THE] SALVATION OF [YOUR] SOULS;
9 now that you are receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls.
10 CONCERNING THIS SALVATION SOUGHT OUT AND SEARCHED OUT DILIGENTLY [THE] PROPHETS <THE> OF THE TOWARD YOU GRACE HAVING PROPHESIED,
10 Concerning this salvation, the prophets who foretold the grace to come to you searched and investigated carefully,
11 INQUIRING INTO WHAT OR WHAT MANNER OF TIME WAS SIGNIFYING THE IN THEM SPIRIT OF CHRIST TESTIFYING BEFOREHAND <THE> UNTO CHRIST'S SUFFERINGS AND THE AFTER THESE GLORIES;
11 trying to determine the time and setting to which the Spirit of Christ in them was pointing when He predicted the sufferings of Christ and the glories to follow.
12 TO WHOM IT WAS REVEALED THAT NOT THEMSELVES YOU 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.
12 It was revealed to them that they were not serving themselves, but you, when they foretold the things now announced by those who preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven. Even angels long to look into these things.
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.
A Call to Holiness
(Hebrews 12:14–17 )
13 Therefore prepare your minds for action. Be sober-minded. Set your hope fully on the grace to be given you at the revelation of Jesus Christ.
14 AS CHILDREN OF OBEDIENCE NOT FASHIONING YOURSELVES TO THE FORMER IN THE IGNORANCE OF YOU DESIRES,
14 As obedient children, do not conform to the passions of your former ignorance.
15 BUT AS THE [ONE] HAVING CALLED YOU [IS] HOLY ALSO YOURSELVES HOLY IN ALL [YOUR] CONDUCT DO BE,
15 But just as He who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do,
16 BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN WRITTEN: THAT HOLY YOU WILL BE, BECAUSE I MYSELF HOLY AM.
16 for it is written: “Be holy, because 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;
17 Since you call on a Father who judges each one’s work impartially, conduct yourselves in reverent fear during your stay as foreigners.
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,
18 For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life you inherited from your forefathers,
19 BUT BY [THE] PRECIOUS BLOOD AS OF A LAMB WITHOUT BLEMISH AND WITHOUT SPOT OF CHRIST,
19 but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or spot.
20 FOREKNOWN INDEED BEFORE [THE] FOUNDATION [THE] WORLD, HAVING BEEN REVEALED HOWEVER IN [THIS] LAST OF THE TIMES FOR THE SAKE OF YOU
20 He was known before the foundation of the world, but was revealed in the last times for your sake.
21 WHO THROUGH HIM BELIEVING 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.
21 Through Him you believe in God, who raised Him from the dead and glorified Him; and so your faith and hope are in God.
22 THE SOULS OF YOU HAVING PURIFIED BY <THE> OBEDIENCE TO THE TRUTH THROUGH SPIRIT UNTO BROTHERLY LOVE SINCERE OUT OF PURITY OF HEART ONE ANOTHER DO LOVE FERVENTLY;
The Enduring Word
(Isaiah 40:6–8 )
22 Since you have purified your souls by obedience to the truth so that you have a genuine love for your brothers, love one another deeply, from a pure heart.
23 BORN AGAIN NOT OF SEED PERISHABLE BUT OF IMPERISHABLE THROUGH [THE] WORD LIVING OF GOD AND ABIDING INTO THE AGE;
23 For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God.
24 BECAUSE ALL FLESH [IS] LIKE GRASS, AND ALL [THE] GLORY OF IT LIKE [THE] FLOWER OF GRASS; WITHERS THE GRASS, AND THE FLOWER OF HIM FALLS AWAY;
24 For,
“All flesh is like grass,
and all its glory like the flowers of the field;
the grass withers and the flowers fall,
25 <THE> BUT THE DECLARATION OF [THE] LORD ABIDES TO THE AGE. THIS NOW IS THE DECLARATION WHICH HAVING BEEN EVANGELISED TO YOU.
25 but the word of the Lord stands forever.”
And this is the word that was proclaimed to you.
