Today's New International Version Help
1Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, To God's elect, exiles scattered throughout the provinces of Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia and Bithynia,G4074G652G2424G5547G3927G1290G4195G1053G2587G773G2532G978
2who have been chosen according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through the sanctifying work of the Spirit, to be obedient to Jesus Christ and sprinkled with his blood: Grace and peace be yours in abundance.G1588G2596G4268G2316G3962G1722G38G4151G1519G5218G2532G4473G129G2424G5547G5485G5213G2532G1515G4129
3Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,G2128G2316G2532G3962G2257G2962G2424G5547G3588G2596G846G4183G1656G313G2248G313G1519G2198G1680G1223G386G2424G5547G1537G3498
4and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade. This inheritance is kept in heaven for you,G1519G2817G862G2532G283G2532G263G5083G1722G3772G1519G5209
5who through faith are shielded by God's power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time.G3588G5432G1722G1411G2316G1223G4102G1519G4991G2092G601G1722G2078G2540
6In all this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials.G1722G3739G21G737G3641G1487G1163G2076G3076G1722G4164G3986
7These have come so that your faith—of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may be proved genuine and may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed.G2443G1383G5216G4102G4183G5093G5553G622G1223G1161G1381G4442G2147G1519G1868G2532G5092G2532G1391G1722G602G2424G5547
8Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy,G3739G1492G3756G1492G1492G25G1519G3739G737G3708G3361G1161G4100G21G5479G412G2532G1392
9for you are receiving the end result of your faith, the salvation of your souls.G2865G5056G5216G4102G4991G5590
10Concerning this salvation, the prophets, who spoke of the grace that was to come to you, searched intently and with the greatest care,G4012G3739G4991G4396G1567G2532G1830G3588G4395G4012G5485G1519G5209
11trying to find out the time and circumstances to which the Spirit of Christ in them was pointing when he predicted the sufferings of Christ and the glories that would follow.G2045G1519G5101G2228G4169G2540G4151G5547G3588G1722G846G1213G4303G3804G1519G5547G2532G1391G3326G5023
12It was revealed to them that they were not serving themselves but you, when they spoke of the things that have now been told you by those who have preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven. Even angels long to look into these things.G3739G601G3754G3756G1438G1161G2254G1247G846G3739G312G3568G312G5213G1223G2097G5209G1722G40G4151G649G575G3772G3739G32G1937G3879G1519
13Therefore, with minds that are alert and fully sober, set your hope on the grace to be brought to you when Jesus Christ is revealed at his coming.G1352G328G3751G5216G1271G3525G1679G5049G1909G5485G5342G5213G1722G602G2424G5547
14As obedient children, do not conform to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance.G5613G5218G5043G3361G4964G4386G1939G1722G5216G52
15But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do;G235G2596G2564G5209G40G2532G1096G846G40G1722G3956G391
16for it is written: "Be holy, because I am holy."G1360G1125G1096G40G3754G1473G1510G40
17Since you call on a Father who judges each person's work impartially, live out your time as foreigners here in reverent fear.G2532G1487G1941G3962G3588G678G2919G2596G1538G2041G390G5550G5216G3940G1722G5401
18For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your ancestors,G1492G3754G3084G3756G3084G5349G694G2228G5553G1537G5216G3152G391G3970
19but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect.G235G5093G129G5547G5613G286G299G2532G784
20He was chosen before the creation of the world, but was revealed in these last times for your sake.G3303G4267G4253G2602G2889G1161G5319G1909G2078G5550G1223G5209
21Through him you believe in God, who raised him from the dead and glorified him, and so your faith and hope are in God.G3588G1223G846G4100G1519G2316G1453G846G1453G1537G3498G2532G1325G846G1391G5620G5216G4102G2532G1680G1511G1519G2316
22Now that you have purified yourselves by obeying the truth so that you have sincere love for each other, love one another deeply, from the heart.G48G5216G5590G1722G5218G225G1223G4151G1519G505G5360G25G240G1537G2513G2588G1619
23For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God.G313G3756G1537G5349G4701G235G862G1223G3056G2316G2198G2532G3306G1519G165
24For, "All people are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field; the grass withers and the flowers fall,G1360G3956G4561G5613G5528G2532G3956G1391G444G5613G438G5528G5528G3583G2532G438G846G1601
25but the word of the Lord endures forever." And this is the word that was preached to you.G1161G4487G2962G3306G1519G165G1161G5124G2076G4487G3588G2097G1519G5209
