1PETER, AN apostle (a special messenger) of Jesus Christ, [writing] to the elect exiles of the dispersion scattered (sowed) abroad in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,G4074G652G2424G5547G3927G1290G4195G1053G2587G773G2532G978 2Who were chosen {and} foreknown by God the Father and consecrated (sanctified, made holy) by the Spirit to be obedient to Jesus Christ (the Messiah) and to be sprinkled with [His] blood: May grace (spiritual blessing) and peace be given you in increasing abundance [that spiritual peace to be realized in and through Christ, freedom from fears, agitating passions, and moral conflicts].G1588G2596G4268G2316G3962G1722G38G4151G1519G5218G2532G4473G129G2424G5547G5485G5213G2532G1515G4129 3Praised (honored, blessed) be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah)! By His boundless mercy we have been born again to an ever-living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,G2128G2316G2532G3962G2257G2962G2424G5547G3588G2596G846G4183G1656G313G2248G313G1519G2198G1680G1223G386G2424G5547G1537G3498 4[Born anew] into an inheritance which is beyond the reach of change {and} decay [imperishable], unsullied and unfading, reserved in heaven for you,G1519G2817G862G2532G283G2532G263G5083G1722G3772G1519G5209 5Who are being guarded (garrisoned) by God's power through [your] faith [till you fully inherit that final] salvation that is ready to be revealed [for you] in the last time.G3588G5432G1722G1411G2316G1223G4102G1519G4991G2092G601G1722G2078G2540 6[You should] be exceedingly glad on this account, though now for a little while you may be distressed by trials {and} suffer temptations,G1722G3739G21G737G3641G1487G1163G2076G3076G1722G4164G3986 7So that [the genuineness] of your faith may be tested, [your faith] which is infinitely more precious than the perishable gold which is tested {and} purified by fire. [This proving of your faith is intended] to redound to [your] praise and glory and honor when Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One) is revealed.G2443G1383G5216G4102G4183G5093G5553G622G1223G1161G1381G4442G2147G1519G1868G2532G5092G2532G1391G1722G602G2424G5547 8Without having seen Him, you love Him; though you do not [even] now see Him, you believe in Him and exult {and} thrill with inexpressible and glorious (triumphant, heavenly) joy.G3739G1492G3756G1492G1492G25G1519G3739G737G3708G3361G1161G4100G21G5479G412G2532G1392 9[At the same time] you receive the result (outcome, consummation) of your faith, the salvation of your souls.G2865G5056G5216G4102G4991G5590 10The prophets, who prophesied of the grace (divine blessing) which was intended for you, searched and inquired earnestly about this salvation.G4012G3739G4991G4396G1567G2532G1830G3588G4395G4012G5485G1519G5209 11They sought [to find out] to whom or when this was to come which the Spirit of Christ working within them was indicating when He predicted the sufferings of Christ and the glories that should follow [them].G2045G1519G5101G2228G4169G2540G4151G5547G3588G1722G846G1213G4303G3804G1519G5547G2532G1391G3326G5023 12It was then disclosed to them that the services they were rendering were not meant for themselves {and} their period of time, but for you. [It is these very] things which have now already been made known plainly to you by those who preached the good news (the Gospel) to you by the [same] Holy Spirit sent from heaven. Into these things [the very] angels long to look!G3739G601G3754G3756G1438G1161G2254G1247G846G3739G312G3568G312G5213G1223G2097G5209G1722G40G4151G649G575G3772G3739G32G1937G3879G1519 13So brace up your minds; be sober (circumspect, morally alert); set your hope wholly {and} unchangeably on the grace (divine favor) that is coming to you when Jesus Christ (the Messiah) is revealed.G1352G328G3751G5216G1271G3525G1679G5049G1909G5485G5342G5213G1722G602G2424G5547 14[Live] as children of obedience [to God]; do not conform yourselves to the evil desires [that governed you] in your former ignorance [when you did not know the requirements of the Gospel].G5613G5218G5043G3361G4964G4386G1939G1722G5216G52 15But as the One Who called you is holy, you yourselves also be holy in all your conduct {and} manner of living.G235G2596G2564G5209G40G2532G1096G846G40G1722G3956G391 16For it is written, You shall be holy, for I am holy.G1360G1125G1096G40G3754G1473G1510G40 17And if you call upon Him as [your] Father Who judges each one impartially according to what he does, [then] you should conduct yourselves with true reverence throughout the time of your temporary residence [on the earth, whether long or short].G2532G1487G1941G3962G3588G678G2919G2596G1538G2041G390G5550G5216G3940G1722G5401 18You must know (recognize) that you were redeemed (ransomed) from the useless (fruitless) way of living inherited by tradition from [your] forefathers, not with corruptible things [such as] silver and gold,G1492G3754G3084G3756G3084G5349G694G2228G5553G1537G5216G3152G391G3970 19But [you were purchased] with the precious blood of Christ (the Messiah), like that of a [sacrificial] lamb without blemish or spot.G235G5093G129G5547G5613G286G299G2532G784 20It is true that He was chosen {and} foreordained (destined and foreknown for it) before the foundation of the world, but He was brought out to public view (made manifest) in these last days (at the end of the times) for the sake of you.G3303G4267G4253G2602G2889G1161G5319G1909G2078G5550G1223G5209 21Through Him you believe in (adhere to, rely on) God, Who raised Him up from the dead and gave Him honor {and} glory, so that your faith and hope are [centered and rest] in God.G3588G1223G846G4100G1519G2316G1453G846G1453G1537G3498G2532G1325G846G1391G5620G5216G4102G2532G1680G1511G1519G2316 22Since by your obedience to the Truth {through the} [{Holy} ] {Spirit} you have purified your hearts for the sincere affection of the brethren, [see that you] love one another fervently from a {pure} heart.G48G5216G5590G1722G5218G225G1223G4151G1519G505G5360G25G240G1537G2513G2588G1619 23You have been regenerated (born again), not from a mortal origin (seed, sperm), but from one that is immortal by the {ever} living and lasting Word of God.G313G3756G1537G5349G4701G235G862G1223G3056G2316G2198G2532G3306G1519G165 24For all flesh (mankind) is like grass, and all its glory (honor) like [the] flower of grass. The grass withers and the flower drops off,G1360G3956G4561G5613G5528G2532G3956G1391G444G5613G438G5528G5528G3583G2532G438G846G1601 25But the Word of the Lord (divine instruction, the Gospel) endures forever. And this Word is the good news which was preached to you.G1161G4487G2962G3306G1519G165G1161G5124G2076G4487G3588G2097G1519G5209
