Πετρος αποστολος Ιησου Χριστου Εκλεκτοις παρεπιδημοις Διασπορας Ποντου Γαλατιας Καππαδοκιας Ασιας και Βιθυνιας

Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the elect who are sojourners of the Dispersion in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,

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, in sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace to you and peace be multiplied.

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 begat us again unto a living hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

1:4

εις κληρονομιαν αφθαρτον και αμιαντον και αμαραντον τετηρημενην εν ουρανοις εις υμας

unto an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,

1:5

τους εν δυναμει Θεου φρουρουμενους δια πιστεως εις σωτηριαν ετοιμην αποκαλυφθηναι εν καιρω εσχατω

who by the power of God are guarded through faith unto a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

1:6

εν ω αγαλλιασθε ολιγον αρτι ει δεον εστιν λυπηθεντες εν ποικιλοις πειρασμοις

Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, ye have been put to grief in manifold trials,

1:7

ινα το δοκιμιον υμων της πιστεως πολυτιμοτερον χρυσιου του απολλυμενου δια πυρος δε δοκιμαζομενου ευρεθη εις επαινον και δοξαν και τιμην εν αποκαλυψει Ιησου Χριστου

that the proof of your faith, being more precious than gold that perisheth though it is proved by fire, may be found unto praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ:

1:8

ον ουκ ιδοντες αγαπατε εις ον αρτι μη ορωντες πιστευοντες δε αγαλλιασθε χαρα ανεκλαλητω και δεδοξασμενη

whom not having seen ye love; on whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice greatly with joy unspeakable and full of glory:

1:9

κομιζομενοι το τελος της πιστεως υμων σωτηριαν ψυχων

receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.

1:10

Περι ης σωτηριας εξεζητησαν και εξηραυνησαν προφηται οι περι της εις υμας χαριτος προφητευσαντες

Concerning which salvation the prophets sought and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you:

1:11

εραυνωντες εις τινα η ποιον καιρον εδηλου το εν αυτοις Πνευμα Χριστου προμαρτυρομενον τα εις Χριστον παθηματα και τας μετα ταυτα δοξας

searching what time or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did point unto, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glories that should follow them.

1:12

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, that not unto themselves, but unto you, did they minister these things, which now have been announced unto you through them that preached the gospel unto you by the Holy Spirit sent forth from heaven; which things angels desire to look into.

1:13

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, be sober and set your hope perfectly on the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;

1:14

ως τεκνα υπακοης μη συσχηματιζομενοι ταις προτερον εν τη αγνοια υμων επιθυμιαις

as children of obedience, not fashioning yourselves according to your former lusts in the time of your ignorance:

1:15

αλλα κατα τον καλεσαντα υμας αγιον και αυτοι αγιοι εν παση αναστροφη γενηθητε

but like as he who called you is holy, be ye yourselves also holy in all manner of living;

1:16

διοτι γεγραπται Αγιοι εσεσθε οτι εγω αγιος

because it is written, Ye shall be holy; for I am holy.

1:17

Και ει Πατερα επικαλεισθε τον απροσωπολημπτως κρινοντα κατα το εκαστου εργον εν φοβω τον της παροικιας υμων χρονον αναστραφητε

And if ye call on him as Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to each man’s work, pass the time of your sojourning in fear:

1:18

ειδοτες οτι ου φθαρτοις αργυριω η χρυσιω ελυτρωθητε εκ της ματαιας υμων αναστροφης πατροπαραδοτου

knowing that ye were redeemed, not with corruptible things, with silver or gold, from your vain manner of life handed down from your fathers;

1:19

αλλα τιμιω αιματι ως αμνου αμωμου και ασπιλου Χριστου

but with precious blood, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot, even the blood of Christ:

1:20

προεγνωσμενου μεν προ καταβολης κοσμου φανερωθεντος δε επ εσχατου των χρονων δι υμας

who was foreknown indeed before the foundation of the world, but was manifested at the end of the times for your sake,

1:21

τους δι αυτου πιστους εις Θεον τον εγειραντα αυτον εκ νεκρων και δοξαν αυτω δοντα ωστε την πιστιν υμων και ελπιδα ειναι εις Θεον

who through him are believers in God, that raised him from the dead, and gave him glory; so that your faith and hope might be in God.

1:22

Τας ψυχας υμων ηγνικοτες εν τη υπακοη της αληθειας εις φιλαδελφιαν ανυποκριτον εκ καθαρας καρδιας αλληλους αγαπησατε εκτενως

Seeing ye have purified your souls in your obedience to the truth unto unfeigned love of the brethren, love one another from the heart fervently:

1:23

αναγεγεννημενοι ουκ εκ σπορας φθαρτης αλλα αφθαρτου δια λογου ζωντος Θεου και μενοντος

having been begotten again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, through the word of God, which liveth and abideth.

1:24

διοτι Πασα σαρξ ως χορτος και πασα δοξα αυτης ως ανθος χορτου εξηρανθη ο χορτος και το ανθος εξεπεσεν

For, All flesh is as grass, And all the glory thereof as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower falleth:

1:25

το δε ρημα Κυριου μενει εις τον αιωνα Τουτο δε εστιν το ρημα το ευαγγελισθεν εις υμας

But the word of the Lord abideth for ever. And this is the word of good tidings which was preached unto you.
