< 1 Peter 1 >

1 Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the chosen sojourners of the dispersion of 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, by [the] sanctification of the Spirit, to [the] obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace and peace be multiplied to you!
κατα προγνωσιν θεου πατροσ εν αγιασμω πνευματοσ εισ υπακοην και ραντισμον αιματοσ ιησου χριστου χαρισ υμιν και ειρηνη πληθυνθειη
3 Blessed [is] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who, according to the abundance of His kindness begot us again to a living hope, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ out of 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 inheritance, and undefiled, and unfading, reserved for you in the heavens,
εισ κληρονομιαν αφθαρτον και αμιαντον και αμαραντον τετηρημενην εν ουρανοισ εισ υμασ
5 who, in the power of God are being guarded, through faith, to 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 which you are glad, a little now, if it be necessary, being made to sorrow in various trials,
εν ω αγαλλιασθε ολιγον αρτι ει δεον εστιν λυπηθεντεσ εν ποικιλοισ πειρασμοισ
7 so that the proof of your faith—much more precious than gold that is perishing, and being approved through fire—may be found to [result in] praise, and honor, and glory, at the revelation of Jesus Christ,
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, having not seen, you love, in whom, now believing [although] not seeing, you are glad with unspeakable joy and have been filled with glory,
ον ουκ ειδοτεσ αγαπατε εισ ον αρτι μη ορωντεσ πιστευοντεσ δε αγαλλιασθε χαρα ανεκλαλητω και δεδοξασμενη
9 receiving the outcome of the faith—salvation of your souls;
κομιζομενοι το τελοσ τησ πιστεωσ υμων σωτηριαν ψυχων
10 concerning which salvation [the] prophets sought out and searched out, who prophesied concerning the grace toward you,
περι ησ σωτηριασ εξεζητησαν και εξηρευνησαν προφηται οι περι τησ εισ υμασ χαριτοσ προφητευσαντεσ
11 searching in regard to what or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ that was in them was signifying, testifying beforehand of the sufferings of Christ and the glory after these,
ερευνωντεσ εισ τινα η ποιον καιρον εδηλου το εν αυτοισ πνευμα χριστου προμαρτυρομενον τα εισ χριστον παθηματα και τασ μετα ταυτα δοξασ
12 to whom it was revealed, that not to themselves, but to us they were ministering these, which now were told to you (through those who proclaimed good news to you), by the Holy Spirit sent from Heaven, to which things messengers desire to look into intently.
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 For this reason, having girded up the loins of your mind, being sober, hope perfectly on the grace that is being brought to you in the revelation of Jesus Christ,
διο αναζωσαμενοι τασ οσφυασ τησ διανοιασ υμων νηφοντεσ τελειωσ ελπισατε επι την φερομενην υμιν χαριν εν αποκαλυψει ιησου χριστου
14 as obedient children, not fashioning yourselves to the former desires in your ignorance,
ωσ τεκνα υπακοησ μη συσχηματιζομενοι ταισ προτερον εν τη αγνοια υμων επιθυμιαισ
15 but according as He who called you [is] holy, you also, become holy in all behavior,
αλλα κατα τον καλεσαντα υμασ αγιον και αυτοι αγιοι εν παση αναστροφη γενηθητε
16 because it has been written: “Become holy, because I am holy”;
διοτι γεγραπται αγιοι γινεσθε οτι εγω αγιοσ ειμι
17 and if you call on the Father, who is judging without favoritism according to the work of each, pass the time of your sojourn in fear,
και ει πατερα επικαλεισθε τον απροσωποληπτωσ κρινοντα κατα το εκαστου εργον εν φοβω τον τησ παροικιασ υμων χρονον αναστραφητε
18 having known that, not with corruptible things—silver or gold—were you redeemed from your foolish behavior inherited from our forefathers,
ειδοτεσ οτι ου φθαρτοισ αργυριω η χρυσιω ελυτρωθητε εκ τησ ματαιασ υμων αναστροφησ πατροπαραδοτου
19 but with precious blood, as of a lamb unblemished and unspotted—Christ’s—
αλλα τιμιω αιματι ωσ αμνου αμωμου και ασπιλου χριστου
20 foreknown, indeed, before the foundation of the world, and revealed in the last times because of you,
προεγνωσμενου μεν προ καταβολησ κοσμου φανερωθεντοσ δε επ εσχατων των χρονων δι υμασ
21 who through Him believe in God who raised [Him] out of the dead, and gave glory to Him, so that your faith and hope may 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 Having purified your souls in the obedience of the truth through the Spirit to unhypocritical brotherly love, love one another earnestly out of a pure heart,
τασ ψυχασ υμων ηγνικοτεσ εν τη υπακοη τησ αληθειασ δια πνευματοσ εισ φιλαδελφιαν ανυποκριτον εκ καθαρασ καρδιασ αλληλουσ αγαπησατε εκτενωσ
23 being begotten again, not out of corruptible seed, but incorruptible, through a word of God—living and remaining—throughout the age; (aiōn g165)
αναγεγεννημενοι ουκ εκ σπορασ φθαρτησ αλλα αφθαρτου δια λογου ζωντοσ θεου και μενοντοσ εισ τον αιωνα (aiōn g165)
24 because all flesh [is] as grass, and all glory of man as flower of grass; the grass withered, and the flower of it fell away,
διοτι πασα σαρξ ωσ χορτοσ και πασα δοξα ανθρωπου ωσ ανθοσ χορτου εξηρανθη ο χορτοσ και το ανθοσ αυτου εξεπεσεν
25 but the saying of the LORD remains—throughout the age; and this is the saying of good news that was proclaimed to you. (aiōn g165)
το δε ρημα κυριου μενει εισ τον αιωνα τουτο δε εστιν το ρημα το ευαγγελισθεν εισ υμασ (aiōn g165)
