1 Peter 1
1 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 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 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 to an incorruptible and undefiled inheritance that does not fade away, reserved in Heaven for you,

5 who by the power of God are guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

7 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 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 receiving the result of your faith, the salvation of your souls.

10 Concerning this salvation, the prophets sought and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that would come to you,

11 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.
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲉⲩϣⲓⲛⲉ ϫⲉ ⲉⲣⲉⲡⲉⲡⲛⲁ ⲙⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲉⲧⲛϩⲏⲧⲟⲩ ϣⲁϫⲉ ⲉⲁϣ ⲛⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲉϥⲣ ⲙⲛⲧⲣⲉ ϫⲓⲛ ϣⲟⲣⲡ ⲛⲙⲙⲟⲕϩⲥ ⲉⲧⲛⲁϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲙⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲛⲁϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲙⲛⲛⲥⲱⲟⲩ
12 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.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲛⲁⲓ ⲛⲧⲁϥⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲩⲇⲓⲁⲕⲟⲛⲉⲓ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲁⲛ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲛⲧⲁⲩⲧⲁⲙⲱⲧⲛ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ϩⲓⲧⲛ ⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲧⲁϣⲉⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ ⲙⲡⲉⲡⲛⲁ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ⲛⲧⲁⲩⲧⲛⲛⲟⲟⲩϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲧⲡⲉ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲉⲣⲉⲛⲛⲉⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲉⲡⲓⲑⲩⲙⲉⲓ ⲉⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ
13 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 As obedient children, do not be conformed to the desires as in your ignorance,

15 but just as he who called you is holy, you yourselves also be holy in all of your behavior;

16 because it is written, "Be holy, for I am holy."
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ϫⲉ ϥⲥⲏϩ ϫⲉ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ϯⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ
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:
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉϣϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲕⲣⲓⲛⲉ ⲙⲡⲟⲩⲁ ⲡⲟⲩⲁ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲛⲛⲉϥϩⲉⲃⲏⲩⲉ ⲁϫⲛϫⲓϩⲟ ⲧⲛⲙⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲛⲉⲓⲱⲧ ⲉⲓⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩϩⲟⲧⲉ ⲙⲡⲉⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲙⲡⲉⲓⲙⲁ
18 knowing that you were redeemed, not with corruptible things, with silver or gold, from the useless way of life handed down from your fathers,
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ϫⲉ ⲛⲧⲁⲩⲥⲉⲧ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ⲁⲛ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲛⲟⲩⲃ ⲏ ⲟⲩϩⲁⲧ ⲉϣⲁϥⲧⲁⲕⲟ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲛⲉⲧⲛϩⲉⲃⲏⲩⲉ ⲉⲧϣⲟⲩⲉⲓⲧ ⲉⲧⲁⲛⲉⲧⲛⲉⲓⲟⲧⲉ ⲧⲁⲁⲩ ⲉⲧⲛ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ
19 but with precious blood, as of an unblemished and spotless lamb, namely Christ.

20 He was chosen in advance before the foundation of the world, but was revealed in these last times for your sake,

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.

22 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 having been born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, through the living and abiding word of God. (aiōn g165)
