MODERN LITERAL VERSION

1 Peter
Chapter 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, in the 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 much 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 proven 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 hips 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 according to the holy one, he who called you*, you* yourselves also become holy in all your * conduct;

1:16 because it has been written, ‘Become holy, because I am holy.' {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 fear during the time of your* foreign residency here;

1:18 knowing that you* were not redeemed with corruptible things 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 raised 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 through the 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, ‘All 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 declaration of the Lord is abiding forever.' {Is. 40:6-9} And this is the declaration of the good-news which was proclaimed to you*.
