1 Peter 1
1 Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, unto the chosen pilgrims of the dispersion, throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia and Bithynia, —
Petrus Apostolus Iesu Christi, electis advenis dispersionis Ponti, Galatiæ, Cappadociæ, Asiæ, et Bithyniæ,
2 [Chosen] according to the fore-knowledge of God the Father, in sanctification of Spirit, unto obedience and the sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ, Favour unto you, and peace, be multiplied!
secundum præscientiam Dei Patris, in sanctificationem Spiritus, in obedientiam, et aspersionem sanguinis Iesu Christi: Gratia vobis, et pax multiplicetur.
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Who, according to his great mercy, hath regenerated us unto a living hope, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from among the dead,
Benedictus Deus et Pater Domini nostri Iesu Christi, qui secundum misericordiam suam magnam regeneravit nos in spem vivam, per resurrectionem Iesu Christi ex mortuis,
4 Unto an inheritance, incorruptible and undefiled and unfading, reserved in the heavens for you
in hereditatem incorruptibilem, et incontaminatam, et immarcescibilem, conservatam in cælis in vobis,
5 who, in God’s power, are being guarded through faith unto salvation—ready to be revealed in the last ripe time:
qui in virtute Dei custodimini per fidem in salutem, paratam revelari in tempore novissimo.
6 Wherein ye exult, though, for a little, just now, if needful, put to grief in manifold temptations,
In quo exultabis, modicum nunc si oportet contristari in variis tentationibus:
7 In order that the proving of your faith—much more precious than of gold that perisheth even though, by means of fire, it is proved—may be found unto praise and glory and honour in the revealing of Jesus Christ, —
ut probatio vestræ fidei multo pretiosior auro (quod per ignem probatur) inveniatur in laudem, et gloriam, et honorem in revelatione Iesu Christi:
8 Whom, not having seen, ye love, on whom, though at present not looking, but believing, ye exult with joy unspeakable and filled with glory,
quem cum non videritis, diligitis: in quem nunc quoque non videntes creditis: credentes autem exultabitis lætitia inenarrabili, et glorificata:
9 Being about to bear away the end of your faith—a salvation of souls:
reportantes finem fidei vestræ, salutem animarum.
10 Concerning which salvation, prophets—who concerning the favour for you, did prophesy—sought out and searched out,
De qua salute exquisierunt, atque scrutati sunt prophetæ, qui de futura in vobis gratia prophetaverunt:
11 Searching into what particular, or what manner, of season the Spirit of Christ which was in them was pointing to, when witnessing beforehand as to—The sufferings, for Christ, and the glories, after these, —
scrutantes in quod, vel quale tempus significaret in eis Spiritus Christi: prænuncians eas quæ in Christo sunt passiones, et posteriores glorias:
12 Unto whom it was revealed—that, Not unto themselves, but unto us, they were ministering them, which things have, now, been announced unto you through them who have told you the good tidings with Holy Spirit sent forth from heaven: into which things messengers are coveting to obtain a nearer view.
quibus revelatum est quia non sibimetipsis, vobis autem ministrabant ea, quæ nunc nunciata sunt vobis per eos, qui evangelizaverunt vobis, Spiritu sancto misso de cælo, in quem desiderant Angeli prospicere.
13 Wherefore, girding up the loins of your mind, keeping sober, perseveringly direct your hope unto the favour, being borne along to you, in the revealing of Jesus Christ:
Propter quod succincti lumbos mentis vestræ, sobrii perfecte sperate in eam, quæ offertur vobis, gratiam, in revelationem Iesu Christi:
14 As obedient persons, not configuring yourselves unto your former covetings in your ignorance:
quasi filii obedientiæ, non configurati prioribus ignorantiæ vestræ desideriis:
15 But, according as he that hath called you is holy, do, ye yourselves, also become, holy in all manner of behaviour, —
sed secundum eum, qui vocavit vos, Sanctum: et ipsi in omni conversatione sancti sitis:
16 Inasmuch as it is written—Holy shall ye be, because, I, am holy.
quoniam scriptum est: Sancti eritis, quoniam ego Sanctus sum.
17 And, if, as Father, ye are invoking him who, without respect of persons, judgeth according to each man’s work, with reverence, for the time of your sojourning, behave ye;
Et si patrem invocatis eum, qui sine acceptione personarum iudicat secundum uniuscuiusque opus, in timore incolatus vestri tempore conversamini.
18 Knowing that, Not with corruptible things, with silver or gold, have ye been redeemed from your unmeaning behaviour paternally handed down,
Scientes quod non corruptibilibus auro, vel argento redempti estis de vana vestra conversatione paternæ traditionis:
19 But with precious blood, as of a lamb, unblemished and unspotted, of an Anointed One, —
sed pretioso sanguine quasi agni immaculati Christi, et incontaminati:
20 Foreknown, indeed, before the foundation of the world, but made manifest at a last stage of the times, for the sake of you
præcogniti quidem ante mundi constitutionem, manifestati autem novissimis temporibus propter vos,
21 who, through him, are faithful towards God, —Who raised him from among the dead, and glory to him gave, So that your faith and hope are directed towards God:
qui per ipsum fideles estis in Deo, qui suscitavit eum a mortuis, et dedit ei gloriam, ut fides vestra, et spes esset in Deo:
22 Having purified, your souls, by the obedience of the truth, unto unfeigned brotherly affection, from the heart, love, one another, earnestly;
Animas vestras castificantes in obedientia charitatis, in fraternitatis amore, simplici ex corde invicem diligite attentius:
23 Having been regenerated—Not out of corruptible seed, but incorruptible—through means of the word of a Living and Abiding God; (aiōn g165)
renati non ex semine corruptibili, sed incorruptibili per verbum Dei vivi, et permanentis in æternum: (aiōn g165)
24 Inasmuch as—All flesh, is as grass, and, all the glory thereof, as the flower of grass, —The grass hath withered, and the flower hath fallen out,
quia omnis caro ut fœnum: et omnis gloria eius tamquam flos fœni: exaruit fœnum, et flos eius decidit.
