Πετρου Α΄ 1
1 πετροσ αποστολοσ ιησου χριστου εκλεκτοισ παρεπιδημοισ διασπορασ ποντου γαλατιασ καππαδοκιασ ασιασ και βιθυνιασ
Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, unto the chosen pilgrims of the dispersion, throughout 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
[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!
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 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,
4 εισ κληρονομιαν αφθαρτον και αμιαντον και αμαραντον τετηρημενην εν ουρανοισ εισ υμασ
Unto an inheritance, incorruptible and undefiled and unfading, reserved in the heavens for you
5 τουσ εν δυναμει θεου φρουρουμενουσ δια πιστεωσ εισ σωτηριαν ετοιμην αποκαλυφθηναι εν καιρω εσχατω
who, in God’s power, are being guarded through faith unto salvation—ready to be revealed in the last ripe time:
6 εν ω αγαλλιασθε ολιγον αρτι ει δεον εστιν λυπηθεντεσ εν ποικιλοισ πειρασμοισ
Wherein ye exult, though, for a little, just now, if needful, put to grief in manifold temptations,
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
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, —
8 ον ουκ ειδοτεσ αγαπατε εισ ον αρτι μη ορωντεσ πιστευοντεσ δε αγαλλιασθε χαρα ανεκλαλητω και δεδοξασμενη
Whom, not having seen, ye love, on whom, though at present not looking, but believing, ye exult with joy unspeakable and filled with glory,
9 κομιζομενοι το τελοσ τησ πιστεωσ υμων σωτηριαν ψυχων
Being about to bear away the end of your faith—a salvation of souls:
10 περι ησ σωτηριασ εξεζητησαν και εξηρευνησαν προφηται οι περι τησ εισ υμασ χαριτοσ προφητευσαντεσ
Concerning which salvation, prophets—who concerning the favour for you, did prophesy—sought out and searched out,
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 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, —
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
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.
13 διο αναζωσαμενοι τασ οσφυασ τησ διανοιασ υμων νηφοντεσ τελειωσ ελπισατε επι την φερομενην υμιν χαριν εν αποκαλυψει ιησου χριστου
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:
14 ωσ τεκνα υπακοησ μη συσχηματιζομενοι ταισ προτερον εν τη αγνοια υμων επιθυμιαισ
As obedient persons, not configuring yourselves unto your former covetings in your ignorance:
15 αλλα κατα τον καλεσαντα υμασ αγιον και αυτοι αγιοι εν παση αναστροφη γενηθητε
But, according as he that hath called you is holy, do, ye yourselves, also become, holy in all manner of behaviour, —
16 διοτι γεγραπται αγιοι γινεσθε οτι εγω αγιοσ ειμι
Inasmuch as it is written—Holy shall ye be, 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, 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;
18 ειδοτεσ οτι ου φθαρτοισ αργυριω η χρυσιω ελυτρωθητε εκ τησ ματαιασ υμων αναστροφησ πατροπαραδοτου
Knowing that, Not with corruptible things, with silver or gold, have ye been redeemed from your unmeaning behaviour paternally handed down,
19 αλλα τιμιω αιματι ωσ αμνου αμωμου και ασπιλου χριστου
But with precious blood, as of a lamb, unblemished and unspotted, of an Anointed One, —
20 προεγνωσμενου μεν προ καταβολησ κοσμου φανερωθεντοσ δε επ εσχατων των χρονων δι υμασ
Foreknown, indeed, before the foundation of the world, but made manifest at a last stage 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 towards God, —Who raised him from among the dead, and glory to him gave, So that your faith and hope are directed towards 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, by the obedience of the truth, unto unfeigned brotherly affection, from the heart, love, one another, earnestly;
23 αναγεγεννημενοι ουκ εκ σπορασ φθαρτησ αλλα αφθαρτου δια λογου ζωντοσ θεου και μενοντοσ εισ τον αιωνα (aiōn g165)
Having been regenerated—Not out of corruptible seed, but incorruptible—through means of the word of a Living and Abiding God; (aiōn g165)
24 διοτι πασα σαρξ ωσ χορτοσ και πασα δοξα ανθρωπου ωσ ανθοσ χορτου εξηρανθη ο χορτοσ και το ανθοσ αυτου εξεπεσεν
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,
