GNT

1 πέτρος ἀπόστολος ἰησοῦ χριστοῦ ἐκλεκτοῖς παρεπιδήμοις διασπορᾶς πόντου, γαλατίας, καππαδοκίας, ἀσίας, καὶ βιθυνίας,

2 κατὰ πρόγνωσιν θεοῦ πατρός, ἐν ἁγιασμῶ πνεύματος, εἰς ὑπακοὴν καὶ ῥαντισμὸν αἵματος ἰησοῦ χριστοῦ· χάρις ὑμῖν καὶ εἰρήνη πληθυνθείη.

3 εὐλογητὸς ὁ θεὸς καὶ πατὴρ τοῦ κυρίου ἡμῶν ἰησοῦ χριστοῦ, ὁ κατὰ τὸ πολὺ αὐτοῦ ἔλεος ἀναγεννήσας ἡμᾶς εἰς ἐλπίδα ζῶσαν δι᾽ ἀναστάσεως ἰησοῦ χριστοῦ ἐκ νεκρῶν,

4 εἰς κληρονομίαν ἄφθαρτον καὶ ἀμίαντον καὶ ἀμάραντον, τετηρημένην ἐν οὐρανοῖς εἰς ὑμᾶς

5 τοὺς ἐν δυνάμει θεοῦ φρουρουμένους διὰ πίστεως εἰς σωτηρίαν ἑτοίμην ἀποκαλυφθῆναι ἐν καιρῶ ἐσχάτῳ.

6 ἐν ᾧ ἀγαλλιᾶσθε, ὀλίγον ἄρτι εἰ δέον [ἐστὶν] λυπηθέντες ἐν ποικίλοις πειρασμοῖς,

7 ἵνα τὸ δοκίμιον ὑμῶν τῆς πίστεως πολυτιμότερον χρυσίου τοῦ ἀπολλυμένου, διὰ πυρὸς δὲ δοκιμαζομένου, εὑρεθῇ εἰς ἔπαινον καὶ δόξαν καὶ τιμὴν ἐν ἀποκαλύψει ἰησοῦ χριστοῦ.

8 ὃν οὐκ ἰδόντες ἀγαπᾶτε, εἰς ὃν ἄρτι μὴ ὁρῶντες πιστεύοντες δὲ ἀγαλλιᾶσθε χαρᾷ ἀνεκλαλήτῳ καὶ δεδοξασμένῃ,

9 κομιζόμενοι τὸ τέλος τῆς πίστεως [ὑμῶν] σωτηρίαν ψυχῶν.

10 περὶ ἧς σωτηρίας ἐξεζήτησαν καὶ ἐξηραύνησαν προφῆται οἱ περὶ τῆς εἰς ὑμᾶς χάριτος προφητεύσαντες,

11 ἐραυνῶντες εἰς τίνα ἢ ποῖον καιρὸν ἐδήλου τὸ ἐν αὐτοῖς πνεῦμα χριστοῦ προμαρτυρόμενον τὰ εἰς χριστὸν παθήματα καὶ τὰς μετὰ ταῦτα δόξας·

12 οἷς ἀπεκαλύφθη ὅτι οὐχ ἑαυτοῖς ὑμῖν δὲ διηκόνουν αὐτά, ἃ νῦν ἀνηγγέλη ὑμῖν διὰ τῶν εὐαγγελισαμένων ὑμᾶς [ἐν] πνεύματι ἁγίῳ ἀποσταλέντι ἀπ᾽ οὐρανοῦ, εἰς ἃ ἐπιθυμοῦσιν ἄγγελοι παρακύψαι.

13 διὸ ἀναζωσάμενοι τὰς ὀσφύας τῆς διανοίας ὑμῶν, νήφοντες, τελείως ἐλπίσατε ἐπὶ τὴν φερομένην ὑμῖν χάριν ἐν ἀποκαλύψει ἰησοῦ χριστοῦ.

14 ὡς τέκνα ὑπακοῆς, μὴ συσχηματιζόμενοι ταῖς πρότερον ἐν τῇ ἀγνοίᾳ ὑμῶν ἐπιθυμίαις,

15 ἀλλὰ κατὰ τὸν καλέσαντα ὑμᾶς ἅγιον καὶ αὐτοὶ ἅγιοι ἐν πάσῃ ἀναστροφῇ γενήθητε,

16 διότι γέγραπται [ὅτι] ἅγιοι ἔσεσθε, ὅτι ἐγὼ ἅγιος [εἰμι].

17 καὶ εἰ πατέρα ἐπικαλεῖσθε τὸν ἀπροσωπολήμπτως κρίνοντα κατὰ τὸ ἑκάστου ἔργον, ἐν φόβῳ τὸν τῆς παροικίας ὑμῶν χρόνον ἀναστράφητε,

18 εἰδότες ὅτι οὐ φθαρτοῖς, ἀργυρίῳ ἢ χρυσίῳ ἐλυτρώθητε ἐκ τῆς ματαίας ὑμῶν ἀναστροφῆς πατροπαραδότου,

19 ἀλλὰ τιμίῳ αἵματι ὡς ἀμνοῦ ἀμώμου καὶ ἀσπίλου χριστοῦ,

20 προεγνωσμένου μὲν πρὸ καταβολῆς κόσμου, φανερωθέντος δὲ ἐπ᾽ ἐσχάτου τῶν χρόνων δι᾽ ὑμᾶς

21 τοὺς δι᾽ αὐτοῦ πιστοὺς εἰς θεὸν τὸν ἐγείραντα αὐτὸν ἐκ νεκρῶν καὶ δόξαν αὐτῶ δόντα, ὥστε τὴν πίστιν ὑμῶν καὶ ἐλπίδα εἶναι εἰς θεόν.

22 τὰς ψυχὰς ὑμῶν ἡγνικότες ἐν τῇ ὑπακοῇ τῆς ἀληθείας εἰς φιλαδελφίαν ἀνυπόκριτον, ἐκ [καθαρᾶς] καρδίας ἀλλήλους ἀγαπήσατε ἐκτενῶς,

23 ἀναγεγεννημένοι οὐκ ἐκ σπορᾶς φθαρτῆς ἀλλὰ ἀφθάρτου, διὰ λόγου ζῶντος θεοῦ καὶ μένοντος·

24 διότι πᾶσα σὰρξ ὡς χόρτος, καὶ πᾶσα δόξα αὐτῆς ὡς ἄνθος χόρτου· ἐξηράνθη ὁ χόρτος, καὶ τὸ ἄνθος ἐξέπεσεν·

25 τὸ δὲ ῥῆμα κυρίου μένει εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα. τοῦτο δέ ἐστιν τὸ ῥῆμα τὸ εὐαγγελισθὲν εἰς ὑμᾶς.

2  Elect¹⁵⁸⁸ according²⁵⁹⁶ to the foreknowledge⁴²⁶⁸ of God²³¹⁶ the Father,³⁹⁶² through¹⁷²² sanctification³⁸ of the Spirit,⁴¹⁵¹ unto¹⁵¹⁹ obedience⁵²¹⁸ and²⁵³² sprinkling⁴⁴⁷³ of the blood¹²⁹ of Jesus²⁴²⁴ Christ:⁵⁵⁴⁷ Grace⁵⁴⁸⁵ unto you,⁵²¹³ and²⁵³² peace,¹⁵¹⁵ be multiplied.⁴¹²⁹

3  Blessed²¹²⁸ be the³⁵⁸⁸ God²³¹⁶ and²⁵³² Father³⁹⁶² of our²²⁵⁷ Lord²⁹⁶² Jesus²⁴²⁴ Christ,⁵⁵⁴⁷ which according²⁵⁹⁶ to his⁸⁴⁸ abundant⁴¹⁸³ mercy¹⁶⁵⁶ hath begotten us again^{313 2248} unto¹⁵¹⁹ a lively²¹⁹⁸ hope¹⁶⁸⁰ by¹²²³ the resurrection³⁸⁶ of Jesus²⁴²⁴ Christ⁵⁵⁴⁷ from¹⁵³⁷ the dead,³⁴⁹⁸

4  To¹⁵¹⁹ an inheritance²⁸¹⁷ incorruptible,⁸⁶² and²⁵³² undefiled,²⁸³ and²⁵³² that fadeth not away,²⁶³ reserved⁵⁰⁸³ in¹⁷²² heaven³⁷⁷² for¹⁵¹⁹ you,²²⁴⁸

5  Who are kept⁵⁴³² by¹⁷²² the power¹⁴¹¹ of God²³¹⁶ through¹²²³ faith⁴¹⁰² unto¹⁵¹⁹ salvation⁴⁹⁹¹ ready²⁰⁹² to be revealed⁶⁰¹ in¹⁷²² the last²⁰⁷⁸ time.²⁵⁴⁰

6  Wherein^{1722 3739} ye greatly rejoice,²¹ though now⁷³⁷ for a season,³⁶⁴¹ if¹⁴⁸⁷ need be,^{1163 2076} ye are in heaviness³⁰⁷⁶ through¹⁷²² manifold⁴¹⁶⁴ temptations:³⁹⁸⁶

7  That²⁴⁴³ the³⁵⁸⁸ trial¹³⁸³ of your⁵²¹⁶ faith,⁴¹⁰² being much⁴¹⁸³ more precious⁵⁰⁹³ than of gold⁵⁵⁵³ that perisheth,⁶²² though¹¹⁶¹ it be tried¹³⁸¹ with¹²²³ fire,⁴⁴⁴² might be found²¹⁴⁷ unto¹⁵¹⁹ praise¹⁸⁶⁸ and²⁵³² honor⁵⁰⁹² and²⁵³² glory¹³⁹¹ at¹⁷²² the appearing⁶⁰² of Jesus²⁴²⁴ Christ:⁵⁵⁴⁷

8  Whom³⁷³⁹ having not³⁷⁵⁶ seen,¹⁴⁹² ye love;²⁵ in¹⁵¹⁹ whom,³⁷³⁹ though now⁷³⁷ ye see³⁷⁰⁸ him not,³³⁶¹ yet¹¹⁶¹ believing,⁴¹⁰⁰ ye rejoice²¹ with joy⁵⁴⁷⁹ unspeakable⁴¹² and²⁵³² full of glory:¹³⁹²

9  Receiving²⁸⁶⁵ the³⁵⁸⁸ end⁵⁰⁵⁶ of your⁵²¹⁶ faith,⁴¹⁰² even the salvation⁴⁹⁹¹ of your souls.⁵⁵⁹⁰

10  Of⁴⁰¹² which³⁷³⁹ salvation⁴⁹⁹¹ the prophets⁴³⁹⁶ have inquired¹⁵⁶⁷ and²⁵³² searched diligently,¹⁸³⁰ who prophesied⁴³⁹⁵ of⁴⁰¹² the³⁵⁸⁸ grace⁵⁴⁸⁵ that should come unto¹⁵¹⁹ you:⁵²⁰⁹

11  Searching²⁰⁴⁵ what,⁵¹⁰¹ or²²²⁸ what manner⁴¹⁶⁹ of time²⁵⁴⁰ the³⁵⁸⁸ Spirit⁴¹⁵¹ of Christ⁵⁵⁴⁷ which was in¹⁷²² them⁸⁴⁶ did signify,¹²¹³ when it testified beforehand⁴³⁰³ the³⁵⁸⁸ sufferings³⁸⁰⁴ of¹⁵¹⁹ Christ,⁵⁵⁴⁷ and²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ glory¹³⁹¹ that should follow.^{3326 5023}

12  Unto whom³⁷³⁹ it was revealed,⁶⁰¹ that³⁷⁵⁴ not³⁷⁵⁶ unto themselves,¹⁴³⁸ but¹¹⁶¹ unto us²²⁵⁴ they did minister¹²⁴⁷ the things,⁸⁴⁶ which³⁷³⁹ are now³⁵⁶⁸ reported³¹² unto you⁵²¹³ by¹²²³ them that have preached the gospel²⁰⁹⁷ unto you⁵²⁰⁹ with¹⁷²² the Holy⁴⁰ Ghost⁴¹⁵¹ sent down⁶⁴⁹ from⁵⁷⁵ heaven;³⁷⁷² which things³⁷³⁹ the angels³² desire¹⁹³⁷ to look³⁸⁷⁹ into.¹⁵¹⁹

13  Wherefore¹³⁵² gird up³²⁸ the³⁵⁸⁸ loins³⁷⁵¹ of your⁵²¹⁶ mind,¹²⁷¹ be sober,³⁵²⁵ and hope¹⁶⁷⁹ to the end⁵⁰⁴⁹ for¹⁹⁰⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ grace⁵⁴⁸⁵ that is to be brought⁵³⁴² unto you⁵²¹³ at¹⁷²² the revelation⁶⁰² of Jesus²⁴²⁴ Christ;⁵⁵⁴⁷

14  As⁵⁶¹³ obedient⁵²¹⁸ children,⁵⁰⁴³ not³³⁶¹ fashioning yourselves⁴⁹⁶⁴ according to the³⁵⁸⁸ former⁴³⁸⁶ lusts¹⁹³⁹ in¹⁷²² your⁵²¹⁶ ignorance:⁵²

15  But²³⁵ as²⁵⁹⁶ he which hath called²⁵⁶⁴ you⁵²⁰⁹ is holy,⁴⁰ so²⁵³² be¹⁰⁹⁶ ye⁸⁴⁶ holy⁴⁰ in¹⁷²² all manner³⁹⁵⁶ of conversation;³⁹¹

16  Because¹³⁶⁰ it is written,¹¹²⁵ Be¹⁰⁹⁶ ye holy;⁴⁰ for³⁷⁵⁴ I¹⁴⁷³ am¹⁵¹⁰ holy.⁴⁰

17  And²⁵³² if¹⁴⁸⁷ ye call on¹⁹⁴¹ the Father,³⁹⁶² who without respect of persons judgeth^{2919 678} according²⁵⁹⁶ to every man's¹⁵³⁸ work,²⁰⁴¹ pass³⁹⁰ the³⁵⁸⁸ time⁵⁵⁵⁰ of your⁵²¹⁶ sojourning³⁹⁴⁰ here in¹⁷²² fear:⁵⁴⁰¹

18  Forasmuch as ye know¹⁴⁹² that³⁷⁵⁴ ye were not³⁷⁵⁶ redeemed³⁰⁸⁴ with corruptible things,⁵³⁴⁹ as silver⁶⁹⁴ and²²²⁸ gold,⁵⁵⁵³ from¹⁵³⁷ your⁵²¹⁶ vain³¹⁵² conversation³⁹¹ received by tradition from your fathers;³⁹⁷⁰

19  But²³⁵ with the precious⁵⁰⁹³ blood¹²⁹ of Christ,⁵⁵⁴⁷ as⁵⁶¹³ of a lamb²⁸⁶ without blemish²⁹⁹ and²⁵³² without spot:⁷⁸⁴

20  Who verily³³⁰³ was foreordained⁴²⁶⁷ before⁴²⁵³ the foundation²⁶⁰² of the world,²⁸⁸⁹ but¹¹⁶¹ was manifest⁵³¹⁹ in¹⁹⁰⁹ these last²⁰⁷⁸ times⁵⁵⁵⁰ for¹²²³ you,⁵²⁰⁹

21  Who by¹²²³ him⁸⁴⁶ do believe⁴¹⁰⁰ in¹⁵¹⁹ God,²³¹⁶ that raised him up^{1453 846} from¹⁵³⁷ the dead,³⁴⁹⁸ and²⁵³² gave¹³²⁵ him⁸⁴⁶ glory;¹³⁹¹ that⁵⁶²⁰ your⁵²¹⁶ faith⁴¹⁰² and²⁵³² hope¹⁶⁸⁰ might be¹⁵¹¹ in¹⁵¹⁹ God.²³¹⁶

22  Seeing ye have purified⁴⁸ your⁵²¹⁶ souls⁵⁵⁹⁰ in¹⁷²² obeying⁵²¹⁸ the³⁵⁸⁸ truth²²⁵ through¹²²³ the Spirit⁴¹⁵¹ unto¹⁵¹⁹ unfeigned⁵⁰⁵ love of the brethren,⁵³⁶⁰ see that ye love²⁵ one another²⁴⁰ with¹⁵³⁷ a pure²⁵¹³ heart²⁵⁸⁸ fervently:¹⁶¹⁹

23  Being born again,³¹³ not³⁷⁵⁶ of¹⁵³⁷ corruptible⁵³⁴⁹ seed,⁴⁷⁰¹ but²³⁵ of incorruptible,⁸⁶² by¹²²³ the word³⁰⁵⁶ of God,²³¹⁶ which liveth²¹⁹⁸ and²⁵³² abideth³³⁰⁶ forever.^{1519 165}

24  For¹³⁶⁰ all³⁹⁵⁶ flesh⁴⁵⁶¹ is as⁵⁶¹³ grass,⁵⁵²⁸ and²⁵³² all³⁹⁵⁶ the glory¹³⁹¹ of man⁴⁴⁴ as⁵⁶¹³ the flower⁴³⁸ of grass.⁵⁵²⁸ The³⁵⁸⁸ grass⁵⁵²⁸ withereth,³⁵⁸³ and²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ flower⁴³⁸ thereof⁸⁴⁶ falleth away:¹⁶⁰¹

25  But¹¹⁶¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ word⁴⁴⁸⁷ of the Lord²⁹⁶² endureth³³⁰⁶ forever.^{1519 165} And¹¹⁶¹ this⁵¹²⁴ is²⁰⁷⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ word⁴⁴⁸⁷ which by the gospel is preached²⁰⁹⁷ unto¹⁵¹⁹ you.⁵²⁰⁹

Vul

1 Petrus Apostolus Jesu Christi, electis advenis dispersionis Ponti, Galatiæ, Cappadociæ, Asiæ, et Bithyniæ,

2 secundum præscientiam Dei Patris, in sanctificationem Spiritus, in obedientiam, et aspersionem sanguinis Jesu Christi. Gratia vobis, et pax multiplicetur.

3 Benedictus Deus et Pater Domini nostri Jesu Christi, qui secundum misericordiam suam magnam regeneravit nos in spem vivam, per resurrectionem Jesu Christi ex mortuis,

4 in hæreditatem incorruptibilem, et incontaminatam, et immarcescibilem, conservatam in cælis in vobis,

5 qui in virtute Dei custodimini per fidem in salutem, paratam revelari in tempore novissimo.

6 In quo exsultabis, modicum nunc si oportet contristari in variis tentationibus:

7 ut probatio vestræ fidei multo pretiosior auro (quod per ignem probatur) inveniatur in laudem, et gloriam, et honorem in revelatione Jesu Christi:

8 quem cum non videritis, diligitis: in quem nunc quoque non videntes creditis: credentes autem exsultabitis lætitia inenarrabili, et glorificata:

9 reportantes finem fidei vestræ, salutem animarum.

10 De qua salute exquisierunt, atque scrutati sunt prophetæ, qui de futura in vobis gratia prophetaverunt:

11 scrutantes in quod vel quale tempus significaret in eis Spiritus Christi: prænuntians eas quæ in Christo sunt passiones, et posteriores glorias:

12 quibus revelatum est quia non sibimetipsis, vobis autem ministrabant ea quæ nunc nuntiata sunt vobis per eos qui evangelizaverunt vobis, Spiritu Sancto misso de cælo, in quem desiderant angeli prospicere.

13 Propter quod succincti lumbos mentis vestræ, sobrii, perfecte sperate in eam, quæ offertur vobis, gratiam, in revelationem Jesu Christi:

14 quasi filii obedientiæ, non configurati prioribus ignorantiæ vestræ desideriis:

15 sed secundum eum qui vocavit vos, Sanctum: et ipsi in omni conversatione sancti sitis:

16 quoniam scriptum est: Sancti eritis, quoniam ego sanctus sum.

17 Et si patrem invocatis eum, qui sine acceptione personarum judicat secundum uniuscujusque opus, in timore incolatus vestri tempore conversamini.

18 Scientes quod non corruptibilibus, auro vel argento, redempti estis de vana vestra conversatione paternæ traditionis:

19 sed pretioso sanguine quasi agni immaculati Christi, et incontaminati:

20 præcogniti quidem ante mundi constitutionem, manifestati autem novissimis temporibus propter vos,

21 qui per ipsum fideles estis in Deo, qui suscitavit eum a mortuis, et dedit ei gloriam, ut fides vestra et spes esset in Deo:

22 animas vestras castificantes in obedientia caritatis, in fraternitatis amore, simplici ex corde invicem diligite attentius:

23 renati non ex semine corruptibili, sed incorruptibili per verbum Dei vivi, et permanentis in æternum:

24 quia omnis caro ut fœnum: et omnis gloria ejus tamquam flos fœni: exaruit fœnum, et flos ejus decidit.

25 Verbum autem Domini manet in æternum: hoc est autem verbum, quod evangelizatum est in vos.
