MODERN LITERAL VERSION 2019 VERSION

1:1 Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the chosen who are travelers from the dispersion from Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia and Bithyna,

1:2 according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, in the holiness 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 into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

1:4 into an incorruptible, undefiled and unfading inheritance having been guarded in the heavens *for you*;

1:5 who are guarded through faith in the power of God, into a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

1:6 In which you* are glad now, if it is essential for a few moments, you* were made sorrowful in various tests,

1:7 in order that the trial of your* faith, ( being much more precious than gold, which perishes), even now being tested through fire, may be found *for praise and honor and to glory in the revelation of Jesus Christ.



1:8 You* love* whom you* have not seen {Or: known} ; now you* believe in whom you* do not see; you* are glad with unspeakable joy and have been glorified in him;

1:9 getting for yourselves the end of your* faith, that is the salvation of your* souls.

1:10 Concerning which salvation the prophets, who prophesied concerning the favor that would come to you*, sought out and utterly searched out;

1:11 searching which time or what sort of time the Spirit of Christ in them was indicating, while testifying beforehand of the sufferings *for Christ and the glories following after these things.

1:12 To whom it was revealed, that they were serving these things not to themselves, but to you*; which things now were reported to you* through those who proclaimed the good-news to you* in the Holy Spirit, after he was sent forth from heaven; into which things messengers desire to peer into.



1:13 Hence when you* girded up the loins of your* mind, while being sober, hope* completely upon the grace being brought to you* at the revelation of Jesus Christ;

1:14 like children of obedience not fashioning yourselves in your* former lusts in the time of your* ignorance;

1:15 but according to he who called you*, who is holy, 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 upon the Father, who impartially judges according to the work of each one, conduct* yourselves in fear during the time of your* foreign residency here;

1:18 knowing that you* were redeemed from your* futile conduct handed down from your * forefathers not with corruptible things like with silver or with gold.

1:19 But like that of an unblemished and unstained lamb, you were redeemed by the precious blood of Christ,

1:20 who indeed, having been known beforehand, before the conception of the world, but was manifested in the last times because of you*,

1:21 who believe through him in God. The God who raised him up from the dead and gave him glory; so-then your* faith and hope might be in God.

1:22 Having purified your* souls in the obedience to the truth through the Spirit toward non-pretended brotherly-love, 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 its flower fell away.

1:25 But the declaration of the Lord is abiding forever.' {Isa 40:6-9} And this is the declaration of the good-news which was proclaimed to you*.
