Peter,
an apostle
of Jesus
Christ,
To those who reside as aliens,
scattered throughout
Pontus,
Galatia,
Cappadocia,
Asia,
and Bithynia,
who are chosen
2
according
to the foreknowledge
of God
the Father,
by the sanctifying work
of the Spirit,
to obey
Jesus
Christ
and be sprinkled
with His blood:
May grace
and peace
be yours
in the fullest measure.
3
Blessed
be the God
and Father
of our Lord
Jesus
Christ
,
who according
to His great
mercy
has caused us to be born again
to a living
hope
through
the resurrection
of
Jesus
Christ
from the dead,
4
to obtain an inheritance
which is imperishable
and undefiled
and will not fade away,
reserved
in heaven
for you,
5
who are protected
by the power
of God
through
faith
for a salvation
ready
to be revealed
in the last
time.
6
In this
you greatly rejoice,
even though now
for a little while,
if
necessary,
you have been distressed
by various
trials,
7
so
that the proof
of your faith,
being more precious
than gold
which is perishable,
even though
tested
by fire,
may be found
to result
in praise
and glory
and honor
at the revelation
of Jesus
Christ;
8
and though you have not seen
Him, you love
Him, and though you do not see
Him now,
but believe
in Him, you greatly rejoice
with joy
inexpressible
and full of glory,
9
obtaining
as the outcome
of your faith
the salvation
of your souls.
10
As to this
salvation,
the prophets
who prophesied
of the grace
that would come to you made
careful
searches
and inquiries,
11
seeking to know
what
person
or
time
the Spirit
of Christ
within
them was indicating
as He predicted
the sufferings
of Christ
and the gl
or
ies
to follow.
12
It was revealed
to them that they were not serving
themselves,
but you, in these things
which
now
have been announced
to you through
those
who preached the gospel
to you by the Holy
Spirit
sent
from heaven--
things into
which
angels
long
to look.
13
Therefore,
prepare
your minds
for action, keep sober
in spirit, fix your hope
completely
on the grace
to be brought
to you at the revelation
of Jesus
Christ.
14
As obedient
children,
do not be conformed
to the former
lusts
which were yours in your ignorance,
15
but like
the Holy
One
who called
you, be holy
yourselves
also
in all
your behavior;
16
because
it is written,
"YOU SHALL BE HOLY,
FOR I AM HOLY."
17
If
you address
as Father
the One who impartially
judges
according
to each one's
work,
conduct
yourselves in fear
during the time
of your stay
on earth;
18
knowing
that you were not redeemed
with perishable things
like silver
or
gold
from your futile
way of life
inherited from your f
or
efathers,
19
but with precious
blood,
as of a lamb
unblemished
and spotless,
the blood of Christ.
20
For He was foreknown
before
the foundation
of the world,
but has appeared
in these
last
times
for the sake
of you
21
who through
Him are believers
in God,
who raised
Him from the dead
and gave
Him glory,
so
that your faith
and hope
are in God.
22
Since you have in obedience
to the truth
purified
your souls
for a sincere
love
of the brethren,
fervently
love
one another
from the heart,
23
for you have been born again
not of seed
which is perishable
but imperishable,
that is, through
the living
and enduring
word
of God.
24
For, "ALL
FLESH
IS
LIKE
GRASS,
AND ALL
ITS GLORY
LIKE
THE FLOWER
OF GRASS.
THE GRASS
WITHERS,
AND
THE FLOWER
FALLS OFF,
25
BUT THE WORD
OF THE LORD
ENDURES
FOREVER."
And this
is the word
which was preached
to you.
