1 Peter 1
1 Peter an apostle of Jesus Christ to the strangers who are dispersed through Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia,
Petrus Apostolus Iesu Christi, electis advenis dispersionis Ponti, Galatiae, Cappadociae, Asiae, et Bithyniae,
2 Asia, and Bithynia, chosen according to the fore-knowledge of God, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience, and to the sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ, ---may grace and peace be multiplied unto you.
secundum praescientiam 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 abundant mercy hath regenerated us to a lively hope, by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from 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 to an inheritance incorruptible, undefiled, and unfading, reserved in heaven for you,
in hereditatem incorruptibilem, et incontaminatam, et immarcescibilem, conservatam in caelis in vobis,
5 who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
qui in virtute Dei custodimini per fidem in salutem, paratam revelari in tempore novissimo.
6 In which ye rejoice, tho' now for a little while, if need be, ye are grieved through various trials.
In quo exultabis, modicum nunc si oportet contristari in variis tentationibus:
7 That the proof of your faith, which is much more precious than of gold, (that perisheth, though tried by fire) may be found unto praise, and honor, and glory, when Jesus Christ shall be revealed:
ut probatio vestrae fidei multo pretiosior auro (quod per ignem probatur) inveniatur in laudem, et gloriam, et honorem in revelatione Iesu Christi:
8 whom having not seen ye love; in whom, though now ye see Him not, yet believing ye rejoice with joy ineffable and full of glory; receiving the end of your faith,
quem cum non videritis, diligitis: in quem nunc quoque non videntes creditis: credentes autem exultabitis laetitia inenarrabili, et glorificata:
9 even the salvation of your souls:
reportantes finem fidei vestrae, salutem animarum vestrarum.
10 concerning which salvation the prophets, who prophesied of the grace to be conferred on you, enquired and diligently sought after it:
De qua salute exquisierunt, atque scrutati sunt prophetae, qui de futura in vobis gratia prophetaverunt:
11 searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ in them did declare in testifying beforehand the sufferings that were to come upon Christ, and the glories following them:
scrutantes in quod, vel quale tempus significaret in eis Spiritus Christi: praenuncians eas quae in Christo sunt passiones, et posteriores glorias:
12 to whom it was revealed, that it was not to themselves, but to us they ministered these things, which are now declared unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you, through the holy Spirit sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into.
quibus revelatum est quia non sibimetipsis, vobis autem ministrabant ea, quae nunc nunciata sunt vobis per eos, qui evangelizaverunt vobis, Spiritu sancto misso de caelo, in quem desiderant Angeli prospicere.
13 Wherefore girding up the loins of your mind, be sober, and stedfastly hope for the grace to be conferred upon you at the appearing of Jesus Christ;
Propter quod succincti lumbos mentis vestrae, sobrii, perfecti, sperate in eam, quae offertur vobis, gratiam, in revelationem Iesu Christi:
14 as children of obedience, not conforming yourselves to the former lusts in your ignorance:
quasi filii obedientiae, non configurati prioribus ignorantiae vestrae desideriis:
15 but as He who hath called you is holy, be ye also holy in all your conversation: since it is written,
sed secundum eum, qui vocavit vos, Sanctum: ut et ipsi in omni conversatione sancti sitis:
16 Be ye holy, for I am holy.
quoniam scriptum est: Sancti eritis, quoniam ego Sanctus sum.
17 And if ye call upon the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man's work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear:
Et si patrem invocatis eum, qui sine acceptione personarum iudicat secundum uniuscuiusque opus, in timore incolatus vestri tempore conversamini.
18 knowing that ye were redeemed from your vain conversation learned by tradition from your fathers, not with corruptible things, as silver and gold;
Scientes quod non corruptibilibus auro, vel argento redempti estis de vana vestra conversatione paternae traditionis:
19 but with the precious blood of Christ as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:
sed pretioso sanguine quasi agni immaculati Christi, et incontaminati:
20 who was indeed appointed before the foundation of the world, but manifested in these last times, for your sakes,
praecogniti quidem ante mundi constitutionem, manifestati autem novissimis temporibus propter vos,
21 who through Him trust in God that raised Him from the dead, and gave Him glory, that your faith and hope might be fixed in 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 therefore purified your souls by obedience to the truth, through the Spirit, to brotherly love unfeigned, love one another with a pure heart fervently:
Animas vestras castificantes in obedientia charitatis, in fraternitatis amore, simplici ex corde invicem diligite attentius:
23 being regenerated not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God which liveth and abideth for ever. (aiōn g165)
renati non ex semine corruptibili, sed incorruptibili per verbum Dei vivi, et permanentis in aeternum: (aiōn g165)
24 For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass: the grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away;
quia omnis caro ut foenum: et omnis gloria eius tamquam flos foeni: exaruit foenum, et flos eius decidit.
