Petre, apostle of Jhesu Crist, to the chosun men, to the comelingis of scateryng abrood, of Ponte, of Galathie, of Capadosie,
2 elect according to [the] foreknowledge of God [the] Father, by sanctification of [the] Spirit, unto [the] obedience and sprinkling of [the] blood of Jesus Christ: Grace to you and peace be multiplied.
of Asye, and of Bitynye, bi the `bifor knowyng of God, the fadir, in halewyng of spirit, bi obedience, and springyng of the blood of Jhesu Crist, grace and pees be multiplied to you.
3 Blessed [be] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who, according to his great mercy, has begotten us again to a living hope through [the] resurrection of Jesus Christ from among [the] dead,
Blessid be God, and the fadir of oure Lord Jhesu Crist, which bi his greet merci bigat vs ayen in to lyuynge hope, bi the ayen risyng of Jhesu Crist fro deth,
4 to an incorruptible and undefiled and unfading inheritance, reserved in [the] heavens for you,
in to eritage vncorruptible, and vndefoulid, and that schal not fade, that is kept in heuenes for you,
5 who are kept guarded by [the] power of God through faith for salvation ready to be revealed in [the] last time.
that in the vertu of God ben kept bi the feith in to heelthe, and is redi to be schewid in the last tyme.
6 Wherein ye exult, for a little while at present, if needed, put to grief by various trials,
In which ye schulen make ioye, thouy it bihoueth now a litil to be sori in dyuerse temptaciouns;
7 that the proving of your faith, much more precious than of gold which perishes, though it be proved by fire, be found to praise and glory and honour in [the] revelation of Jesus Christ:
that the preuyng of youre feith be myche more preciouse than gold, that is preuyd bi fier; and be foundun in to heriyng, and glorie, and onour, in the reuelacioun of Jhesu Crist.
8 whom, having not seen, ye love; on whom [though] not now looking, but believing, ye exult with joy unspeakable and filled with [the] glory,
Whom whanne ye han not seyn, ye louen; in to whom also now ye not seynge, bileuen; but ye that bileuen schulen haue ioye, and gladnesse that may not be teld out,
9 receiving the end of your faith, [the] salvation of [your] souls.
and ye schulen be glorified, and haue the ende of youre feith, the helthe of youre soulis.
10 Concerning which salvation prophets, who have prophesied of the grace towards you, sought out and searched out;
Of which helthe profetis souyten, and enserchiden, that profecieden of the grace to comyng in you,
11 searching what, or what manner of time, the Spirit of Christ which [was] in them pointed out, testifying before of the sufferings which [belonged] to Christ, and the glories after these.
and souyten which euer what maner tyme the spirit of Crist signyfiede in hem, and bifor telde tho passiouns, that ben in Crist, and the latere glories.
12 To whom it was revealed, that not to themselves but to you they ministered those things, which have now been announced to you by those who have declared to you the glad tidings by [the] Holy Spirit, sent from heaven, which angels desire to look into.
To which it was schewid, for not to hem silf, but to you thei mynystriden tho thingis, that now ben teld to you bi hem that prechiden to you bi the Hooli Goost sent fro heuene, in to whom aungelis desiren to biholde.
13 Wherefore, having girded up the loins of your mind, [be] sober [and] hope with perfect stedfastness in the grace [which will be] brought to you at [the] revelation of Jesus Christ;
For which thing be ye gird the leendis of youre soule, sobre, perfit, and hope ye in to the ilke grace that is profrid to you bi the schewyng of Jhesu Crist,
14 as children of obedience, not conformed to [your] former lusts in your ignorance;
as sones of obedience, not made lijk to the formere desiris of youre vnkunnyngnesse,
15 but as he who has called you is holy, be ye also holy in all [your] conversation;
but lijk him that hath `clepid you hooli; that also `ye silf be hooli in `al lyuyng;
16 because it is written, Be ye holy, for I am holy.
for it is writun, Ye schulen be hooli, for Y am hooli.
17 And if ye invoke as Father him who, without regard of persons, judges according to the work of each, pass your time of sojourn in fear,
And if ye inwardli clepe him fadir, which demeth withouten accepcioun of persoones bi the werk of ech man, lyue ye in drede in the time of youre pilgrimage; witynge that not bi corruptible gold,
18 knowing that ye have been redeemed, not by corruptible [things, as] silver or gold, from your vain conversation handed down from [your] fathers,
ethir siluer, ye ben bouyt ayen of youre veyn liuynge of fadris tradicioun,
19 but by precious blood, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot, [the blood] of Christ,
but bi the precious blood as of the lomb vndefoulid and vnspottid,
20 foreknown indeed before [the] foundation of [the] world, but who has been manifested at the end of times for your sakes,
Crist Jhesu, that was knowun bifor the makyng of the world, but he is schewid in the laste tymes,
21 who by him do believe on God, who has raised him from among [the] dead and given him glory, that your faith and hope should be in God.
for you that bi hym ben feithful in God; that reiside hym fro deth, and yaf to hym euerlastynge glorie, that youre feith and hope were in God.
22 Having purified your souls by obedience to the truth to unfeigned brotherly love, love one another out of a pure heart fervently;
And make ye chast youre soulis in obedience of charite, in loue of britherhod; of simple herte loue ye togidre more bisili.
23 being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by [the] living and abiding word of God. (aiōn g165)
And be ye borun ayen, not of corruptible seed, `but vncorruptible, bi the word of lyuynge God, and dwellynge in to with outen ende. (aiōn g165)
24 Because all flesh [is] as grass, and all its glory as [the] flower of grass. The grass has withered and [its] flower has fallen;
For ech fleisch is hey, and al the glorie of it is as flour of hey; the hei driede vp, and his flour felde doun;
