< 1 Peter 1 >
1 Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the strangers scattered through Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,
πετρος αποστολος ιησου χριστου εκλεκτοις παρεπιδημοις διασπορας ποντου γαλατιας καππαδοκιας ασιας και βιθυνιας
2 chosen according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, in sanctification of the Spirit, unto 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 be God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who, according to his abundant mercy, begot us again into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from 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 inheritance imperishable, and undefiled, and unfading, reserved in heaven for you,
εις κληρονομιαν αφθαρτον και αμιαντον και αμαραντον τετηρημενην εν ουρανοις εις υμας
5 who are guarded by the power of God through faith unto a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time;
τους εν δυναμει θεου φρουρουμενους δια πιστεως εις σωτηριαν ετοιμην αποκαλυφθηναι εν καιρω εσχατω
6 wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a short time, if need be, made sorrowful by manifold trials,
εν ω αγαλλιασθε ολιγον αρτι ει δεον {VAR2: [εστιν] } λυπηθεντες εν ποικιλοις πειρασμοις
7 that the proof of your faith, much more precious than gold which perisheth, but is tried with fire, may be found unto praise and glory and honor at the manifestation of Jesus Christ;
ινα το δοκιμιον υμων της πιστεως πολυτιμοτερον χρυσιου του απολλυμενου δια πυρος δε δοκιμαζομενου ευρεθη εις επαινον και δοξαν και τιμην εν αποκαλυψει ιησου χριστου
8 whom, having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory,
ον ουκ ιδοντες αγαπατε εις ον αρτι μη ορωντες πιστευοντες δε {VAR1: αγαλλιατε } {VAR2: αγαλλιασθε } χαρα ανεκλαλητω και δεδοξασμενη
9 receiving the end of your faith, the salvation of your souls.
κομιζομενοι το τελος της πιστεως {VAR2: [υμων] } σωτηριαν ψυχων
10 Concerning which salvation the prophets sought earnestly and searched earnestly, who prophesied of the grace that was to come to you;
περι ης σωτηριας εξεζητησαν και εξηραυνησαν προφηται οι περι της εις υμας χαριτος προφητευσαντες
11 searching what or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them signified, when it testified beforehand the sufferings to come upon Christ, and the glories that were to follow;
εραυνωντες 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 you, they were ministering the things, which have now been announced to you by them that have brought the glad tidings to you by the Holy Spirit sent down from heaven; which things angels desire to look into.
οις απεκαλυφθη οτι ουχ εαυτοις υμιν δε διηκονουν αυτα α νυν ανηγγελη υμιν δια των ευαγγελισαμενων υμας {VAR2: [εν] } πνευματι αγιω αποσταλεντι απ ουρανου εις α επιθυμουσιν αγγελοι παρακυψαι
13 Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope undoubtingly for the grace that is to be brought to you at the manifestation of Jesus Christ;
διο αναζωσαμενοι τας οσφυας της διανοιας υμων νηφοντες τελειως ελπισατε επι την φερομενην υμιν χαριν εν αποκαλυψει ιησου χριστου
14 as children of obedience, not conforming yourselves to the former lusts in your ignorance;
ως τεκνα υπακοης μη συσχηματιζομενοι ταις προτερον εν τη αγνοια υμων επιθυμιαις
15 but as he who called you is holy, be ye also holy in all your conduct;
αλλα κατα τον καλεσαντα υμας αγιον και αυτοι αγιοι εν παση αναστροφη γενηθητε
16 because it is written, “Ye shall be holy, for I am holy.”
διοτι γεγραπται [οτι] αγιοι εσεσθε οτι εγω αγιος {VAR2: [ειμι] }
17 And if ye call him Father who without respect of persons judgeth according to each one's work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear;
και ει πατερα επικαλεισθε τον απροσωπολημπτως κρινοντα κατα το εκαστου εργον εν φοβω τον της παροικιας υμων χρονον αναστραφητε
18 knowing that not with perishable things, silver or gold, were ye redeemed from your vain manner of life received by tradition from your fathers,
ειδοτες οτι ου φθαρτοις αργυριω η χρυσιω ελυτρωθητε εκ της ματαιας υμων αναστροφης πατροπαραδοτου
19 but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot;
αλλα τιμιω αιματι ως αμνου αμωμου και ασπιλου χριστου
20 who was foreknown indeed before the foundation of the world, but manifested in these last times for you,
προεγνωσμενου μεν προ καταβολης κοσμου φανερωθεντος δε επ εσχατου των χρονων δι υμας
21 who through him have faith in God, who raised him from the dead and gave him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God.
τους δι αυτου πιστους εις θεον τον εγειραντα αυτον εκ νεκρων και δοξαν αυτω δοντα ωστε την πιστιν υμων και ελπιδα ειναι εις θεον
22 Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth unto unfeigned brotherly love, love one another from the heart, fervently;
τας ψυχας υμων ηγνικοτες εν τη υπακοη της αληθειας εις φιλαδελφιαν ανυποκριτον εκ {VAR2: [καθαρας] } καρδιας αλληλους αγαπησατε εκτενως
23 being born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the word of God, which liveth and abideth. (aiōn )
αναγεγεννημενοι ουκ εκ σπορας φθαρτης αλλα αφθαρτου δια λογου ζωντος θεου και μενοντος (aiōn )
24 Because, “All flesh is as grass, and all its glory as the flower of grass; the grass withered, and its flower fell off;
διοτι πασα σαρξ ως χορτος και πασα δοξα αυτης ως ανθος χορτου εξηρανθη ο χορτος και το ανθος εξεπεσεν
25 but the word of the Lord abideth for ever;” and this is the word which was preached to you. (aiōn )
το δε ρημα κυριου μενει εις τον αιωνα τουτο δε εστιν το ρημα το ευαγγελισθεν εις υμας (aiōn )
