Good News Translation Help
1From Peter, apostle of Jesus Christ - To God's chosen people who live as refugees scattered throughout the provinces of Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia.G4074G652G2424G5547G3927G1290G4195G1053G2587G773G2532G978
2You were chosen according to the purpose of God the Father and were made a holy people by his Spirit, to obey Jesus Christ and be purified by his blood. May grace and peace be yours in full measure.G1588G2596G4268G2316G3962G1722G38G4151G1519G5218G2532G4473G129G2424G5547G5485G5213G2532G1515G4129

A Living Hope

3Let us give thanks to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! Because of his great mercy he gave us new life by raising Jesus Christ from death. This fills us with a living hope,G2128G2316G2532G3962G2257G2962G2424G5547G3588G2596G846G4183G1656G313G2248G313G1519G2198G1680G1223G386G2424G5547G1537G3498
4and so we look forward to possessing the rich blessings that God keeps for his people. He keeps them for you in heaven, where they cannot decay or spoil or fade away.G1519G2817G862G2532G283G2532G263G5083G1722G3772G1519G5209
5They are for you, who through faith are kept safe by God's power for the salvation which is ready to be revealed at the end of time.G3588G5432G1722G1411G2316G1223G4102G1519G4991G2092G601G1722G2078G2540
6Be glad about this, even though it may now be necessary for you to be sad for a while because of the many kinds of trials you suffer.G1722G3739G21G737G3641G1487G1163G2076G3076G1722G4164G3986
7Their purpose is to prove that your faith is genuine. Even gold, which can be destroyed, is tested by fire; and so your faith, which is much more precious than gold, must also be tested, so that it may endure. Then you will receive praise and glory and honor on the Day when Jesus Christ is revealed.G2443G1383G5216G4102G4183G5093G5553G622G1223G1161G1381G4442G2147G1519G1868G2532G5092G2532G1391G1722G602G2424G5547
8You love him, although you have not seen him, and you believe in him, although you do not now see him. So you rejoice with a great and glorious joy which words cannot express,G3739G1492G3756G1492G1492G25G1519G3739G737G3708G3361G1161G4100G21G5479G412G2532G1392
9because you are receiving the salvation of your souls, which is the purpose of your faith in him.G2865G5056G5216G4102G4991G5590
10It was concerning this salvation that the prophets made careful search and investigation, and they prophesied about this gift which God would give you.G4012G3739G4991G4396G1567G2532G1830G3588G4395G4012G5485G1519G5209
11They tried to find out when the time would be and how it would come. This was the time to which Christ's Spirit in them was pointing, in predicting the sufferings that Christ would have to endure and the glory that would follow.G2045G1519G5101G2228G4169G2540G4151G5547G3588G1722G846G1213G4303G3804G1519G5547G2532G1391G3326G5023
12God revealed to these prophets that their work was not for their own benefit, but for yours, as they spoke about those things which you have now heard from the messengers who announced the Good News by the power of the Holy Spirit sent from heaven. These are things which even the angels would like to understand.G3739G601G3754G3756G1438G1161G2254G1247G846G3739G312G3568G312G5213G1223G2097G5209G1722G40G4151G649G575G3772G3739G32G1937G3879G1519

A Call to Holy Living

13So then, have your minds ready for action. Keep alert and set your hope completely on the blessing which will be given you when Jesus Christ is revealed.G1352G328G3751G5216G1271G3525G1679G5049G1909G5485G5342G5213G1722G602G2424G5547
14Be obedient to God, and do not allow your lives to be shaped by those desires you had when you were still ignorant.G5613G5218G5043G3361G4964G4386G1939G1722G5216G52
15Instead, be holy in all that you do, just as God who called you is holy.G235G2596G2564G5209G40G2532G1096G846G40G1722G3956G391
16The scripture says, "Be holy because I am holy."G1360G1125G1096G40G3754G1473G1510G40
17You call him Father, when you pray to God, who judges all people by the same standard, according to what each one has done; so then, spend the rest of your lives here on earth in reverence for him.G2532G1487G1941G3962G3588G678G2919G2596G1538G2041G390G5550G5216G3940G1722G5401
18For you know what was paid to set you free from the worthless manner of life handed down by your ancestors. It was not something that can be destroyed, such as silver or gold;G1492G3754G3084G3756G3084G5349G694G2228G5553G1537G5216G3152G391G3970
19it was the costly sacrifice of Christ, who was like a lamb without defect or flaw.G235G5093G129G5547G5613G286G299G2532G784
20He had been chosen by God before the creation of the world and was revealed in these last days for your sake.G3303G4267G4253G2602G2889G1161G5319G1909G2078G5550G1223G5209
21Through him you believe in God, who raised him from death and gave him glory; and so your faith and hope are fixed on God.G3588G1223G846G4100G1519G2316G1453G846G1453G1537G3498G2532G1325G846G1391G5620G5216G4102G2532G1680G1511G1519G2316
22Now that by your obedience to the truth you have purified yourselves and have come to have a sincere love for other believers, love one another earnestly with all your heart.G48G5216G5590G1722G5218G225G1223G4151G1519G505G5360G25G240G1537G2513G2588G1619
23For through the living and eternal word of God you have been born again as the children of a parent who is immortal, not mortal.G313G3756G1537G5349G4701G235G862G1223G3056G2316G2198G2532G3306G1519G165
24As the scripture says, "All human beings are like grass, and all their glory is like wild flowers. The grass withers, and the flowers fall,G1360G3956G4561G5613G5528G2532G3956G1391G444G5613G438G5528G5528G3583G2532G438G846G1601
25but the word of the Lord remains forever." This word is the Good News that was proclaimed to you.G1161G4487G2962G3306G1519G165G1161G5124G2076G4487G3588G2097G1519G5209
