Πετρου Α΄ 1
1 πετροσ αποστολοσ ιησου χριστου εκλεκτοισ παρεπιδημοισ διασπορασ ποντου γαλατιασ καππαδοκιασ ασιασ και βιθυνιασ
Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the elect sojourners of the Dispersion of Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,
2 κατα προγνωσιν θεου πατροσ εν αγιασμω πνευματοσ εισ υπακοην και ραντισμον αιματοσ ιησου χριστου χαρισ υμιν και ειρηνη πληθυνθειη
according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ. Grace to you, and peace, be multiplied.
3 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
Blessed is the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the one having according to his great mercy begotten us again into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
4 εισ κληρονομιαν αφθαρτον και αμιαντον και αμαραντον τετηρημενην εν ουρανοισ εισ υμασ
unto an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and never fading, having been kept in the heavens unto you,
5 τουσ εν δυναμει θεου φρουρουμενουσ δια πιστεωσ εισ σωτηριαν ετοιμην αποκαλυφθηναι εν καιρω εσχατω
who are preserved by the power of God through faith unto the salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
6 εν ω αγαλλιασθε ολιγον αρτι ει δεον εστιν λυπηθεντεσ εν ποικιλοισ πειρασμοισ
In whom you rejoice, if however it is needful, being grieved a little while among manifold temptations: in order
7 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
that the trial of your faith, which is more precious than gold that perishes, however being tried by the fire, may be found unto praise and glory and honor in the revelation of Jesus Christ:
8 ον ουκ ειδοτεσ αγαπατε εισ ον αρτι μη ορωντεσ πιστευοντεσ δε αγαλλιασθε χαρα ανεκλαλητω και δεδοξασμενη
whom you not seeing, love with divine love; on whom, not looking, but believing, you rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:
9 κομιζομενοι το τελοσ τησ πιστεωσ υμων σωτηριαν ψυχων
receiving the end of your faith, the salvation of your souls.
10 περι ησ σωτηριασ εξεζητησαν και εξηρευνησαν προφηται οι περι τησ εισ υμασ χαριτοσ προφητευσαντεσ
Concerning which salvation the prophets, who prophesied concerning the grace towards you, sought out and investigated,
11 ερευνωντεσ εισ τινα η ποιον καιρον εδηλου το εν αυτοισ πνευμα χριστου προμαρτυρομενον τα εισ χριστον παθηματα και τασ μετα ταυτα δοξασ
searching into what, or what kind of time the Spirit of Christ who was in them, witnessing the sufferings towards Christ, and the glories after these, did show:
12 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
to whom it was revealed, because they were ministering not these things for themselves, but for you, which are now proclaimed unto you by those who preach to you the gospel with the Holy Ghost having been sent from heaven; into which things the angels desire to look down.
13 διο αναζωσαμενοι τασ οσφυασ τησ διανοιασ υμων νηφοντεσ τελειωσ ελπισατε επι την φερομενην υμιν χαριν εν αποκαλυψει ιησου χριστου
Therefore having girded up the loins of your minds, being perfectly sober, hope unto the grace which is conferred on you in the revelation of Jesus Christ.
14 ωσ τεκνα υπακοησ μη συσχηματιζομενοι ταισ προτερον εν τη αγνοια υμων επιθυμιαισ
As children of obedience, not being fashioned after your former lusts in ignorance:
15 αλλα κατα τον καλεσαντα υμασ αγιον και αυτοι αγιοι εν παση αναστροφη γενηθητε
but according to the Holy One who has called you. Be ye also holy in all your deportment;
16 διοτι γεγραπται αγιοι γινεσθε οτι εγω αγιοσ ειμι
because it has been written, Ye shall be holy; because I am holy.
17 και ει πατερα επικαλεισθε τον απροσωποληπτωσ κρινοντα κατα το εκαστου εργον εν φοβω τον τησ παροικιασ υμων χρονον αναστραφητε
And if you call upon the Father, the One judging without respect of persons according to the work of each, pass the time of your sojourn with fear,
18 ειδοτεσ οτι ου φθαρτοισ αργυριω η χρυσιω ελυτρωθητε εκ τησ ματαιασ υμων αναστροφησ πατροπαραδοτου
knowing that you have been redeemed from your depraved character transmitted from your ancestors, not by corruptible things, silver or gold,
19 αλλα τιμιω αιματι ωσ αμνου αμωμου και ασπιλου χριστου
but by the precious blood of Christ, as a lamb without blemish and spotless:
20 προεγνωσμενου μεν προ καταβολησ κοσμου φανερωθεντοσ δε επ εσχατων των χρονων δι υμασ
foreknown indeed before the foundation of the world, but having been made manifest at the last of the times for the sake of you,
21 τουσ δι αυτου πιστευοντασ εισ θεον τον εγειραντα αυτον εκ νεκρων και δοξαν αυτω δοντα ωστε την πιστιν υμων και ελπιδα ειναι εισ θεον
who through him are faithful toward God, who raised him from the dead, and gave him glory; so that your faith and hope are toward God.
22 τασ ψυχασ υμων ηγνικοτεσ εν τη υπακοη τησ αληθειασ δια πνευματοσ εισ φιλαδελφιαν ανυποκριτον εκ καθαρασ καρδιασ αλληλουσ αγαπησατε εκτενωσ
Having purified your souls through obedience of the truth unto unhypocritical, brotherly love, fervently from the heart love one another with divine love:
23 αναγεγεννημενοι ουκ εκ σπορασ φθαρτησ αλλα αφθαρτου δια λογου ζωντοσ θεου και μενοντοσ εισ τον αιωνα (aiōn g165)
having been begotten again, not of corruptible seed, but incorruptible, through the word of God, who lives and abides. (aiōn g165)
24 διοτι πασα σαρξ ωσ χορτοσ και πασα δοξα ανθρωπου ωσ ανθοσ χορτου εξηρανθη ο χορτοσ και το ανθοσ αυτου εξεπεσεν
Therefore all flesh is as grass, and all its glory as the flower of grass: the grass is withered, and the flower fell off;
