[1 Peter 1]
1:1 Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the chosen who are travelers of the dispersion in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia and Bithyna, 1:2 according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, inthe sanctification of the Spirit, to obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: grace to you* and may peace be multiplied.
1:3 The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ is gracious*, who according to his great mercy has born us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 1:4 to an incorruptible inheritance, undefiled and unfading, guarded in the heavens *for you*. 1:5 You* who by the power of God are being kept through faith to a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. 1:6 In which you* are glad, though now for a little while, if it is essential, having been sorrowful in various tests, 1:7 that* the trial of your* faith, (being more precious than gold, which is perishing), even now being proved through fire, may be found *for praise and honor and to glory in the revelation of Jesus Christ. 1:8 Whom, though having not seen him, you* love*; in whom,though now you* do not see him, yet believing, you* are glad with joy unspeakable and glorified;1:9 getting to the end of your* faith, that is the salvation of your* souls. 1:10 Concerning which salvation the prophets, who prophesied concerning the grace that should come to you*, sought out and searched out; 1:11 searching what time or what sort of time the Spirit of Christ in them indicated, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ and the glories following after these things. 1:12 To whom it was revealed, that they were not serving themselves, but to you* the same things, which now have been reported to you* through those who proclaimed the good-news to you* in the Holy Spirit sent forth from heaven; which things messengers desire to peer into.
1:13 Hence girding up the loins of your* mind, be sober and hope perfectly upon the grace being brought to you* in the revelation of Jesus Christ; 1:14 like children of obedience not fashioning yourselves to your* former lusts in the time of your* ignorance; 1:15 but just-as he who called you*is holy, you* yourselves also become holy in all your* conduct; 1:16 because it has been written, НBecome holy, because I am holy.М {Lev. 11:44-45, 19:2, 20:7,26} 1:17 And if you* call on the Father, who judges without showing partiality according to each one's work, conduct yourselves in fearduring the time of your* foreign residency here; 1:18 knowing that you* were not redeemed with corruptible thingsС with silver or with gold, nor from your* futile conduct handed down from your* forefathers. 1:19 But as of a lamb unblemished and unstained, you were redeemed with precious blood of Christ: 1:20 who indeed, having been known beforehand, before the conception of the world, but was manifested upon the last times because of you*, 1:21 who, through him, believe in God who lifted him up from the dead and gave him glory; so-that your* faith and hope might be in God. 1:22 Seeing you* have purified your* souls in your* obedience to the truth throughthe Spirit toward brotherly-love without hypocrisy, intensely love* one another from a clean heart; 1:23 having been born again, not out of corruptible seed, but from the incorruptible, through the word of God, which is living and remaining forever. 1:24 Because, НAll flesh is like grass and all the glory of man is like the flower of grass. The grass dried up and the flower of it fell away.1:25 But the word of the Lord is abiding forever.М {Is. 40:6-9} And this is the word of the good-news which was proclaimed to you*.
