2 Who have been chosen by the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, to be obedient and to sprinkle the blood of our LORD Jesus Christ: Grace to you and peace, be multiplied. according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, in the sanctification of the Spirit, for obedience to Jesus Christ and for sprinkling with his blood: May grace and peace be multiplied to you. who 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.
3 Blessed be God, the Father of our LORD Jesus Christ, who by his abundant mercy has again renewed us spiritually to a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, Praise 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,
4 To an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled, that does not fade away, and is prepared in heaven for you, to an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade. This inheritance is kept in heaven for you,
5 While you are kept by the power of God through faith, for the life eternal which is ready to be revealed at the last time. who by God’s power are being guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. who through faith are shielded by God’s power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time.
6 Wherein you will rejoice for ever, though at present you are sorrowful for a while, through diverse trials which have come upon you: In this you rejoice, though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been grieved by various trials, In all this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials.
7 So that the proof of your faith, being much more precious than refined gold which has been purified by fire, may be made manifest for the glory and honour and praise at the appearing of Jesus Christ, so that the tested genuineness of your faith—more precious than gold that perishes though it is tested by fire—may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ. These have come so that the proven genuineness of your faith—of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed.
8 Whom you have not seen, but whom you yet love, and in whose faith you rejoice with exceeding joy that cannot be described; Though you have not seen him, you love him. Though you do not now see him, you believe in him and rejoice with joy that is inexpressible and filled with glory, Though 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,
9 And you will receive the reward for your faith, even the salvation of your souls. obtaining the outcome of your faith, the salvation of your souls. for you are receiving the end result of your faith, the salvation of your souls.
10 For which very salvation the prophets searched diligently when they prophesied concerning the grace which was to be given to you. Concerning this salvation, the prophets who prophesied about the grace that was to be yours searched and inquired carefully, Concerning this salvation, the prophets, who spoke of the grace that was to come to you, searched intently and with the greatest care,
11 They searched to find out at what time it would be revealed, and the Spirit of Christ which dwelt in them testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow. inquiring what person or time the Spirit of Christ in them was indicating when he predicted the sufferings of Christ and the subsequent glories. trying to find out the time and circumstances to which the Spirit of Christ in them was pointing when he predicted the sufferings of the Messiah and the glories that would follow.
12 And everything they were searching for was revealed to them because they did not seek for their own benefit, but they prophesied the things which concerned us, the things which now have been revealed to you by those who have preached the gospel to you through the Holy Spirit sent from heaven; which things the angels also desire to look into. It was revealed to them that they were serving not themselves but you, in the things that have now been announced to you through those who preached the good news to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven, things into which angels long to look. It 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.
13 Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be wide awake, and hope for the joy that is coming to you at the revelation of our LORD Jesus Christ; Therefore, preparing your minds for action, and being sober-minded, set your hope fully on the grace that will be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ. Therefore, 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.
14 Like obedient children, not partakers again in those sinful desires for which you once lusted in your ignorance: As obedient children, do not be conformed to the passions of your former ignorance, As obedient children, do not conform to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance.
15 But be you holy in all your conduct, as he who has called you is holy; but as he who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do;
16 Because it is written, Be you holy, even as I am holy. since it is written, “You shall be holy, for I am holy.” for it is written: “Be holy, because I am holy.”
17 And if you call on the Father, who is impartial and who judges every man according to his works, conduct yourselves reverently during the time of your sojourning here: And if you call on him as Father who judges impartially according to each one’s deeds, conduct yourselves with fear throughout the time of your exile, Since you call on a Father who judges each person’s work impartially, live out your time as foreigners here in reverent fear.
18 Knowing that you have not been redeemed from your empty works which you have received from your fathers by corruptible silver and gold; knowing that you were ransomed from the futile ways inherited from your forefathers, not with perishable things such as silver or gold, For 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,
19 But with the precious blood of the Lamb without blemish and without spot which is Christ: but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without blemish or spot. but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect.
20 Who verily was foreordained for this very purpose, before the foundation of the world, and was manifest in these last times, for your sakes, He was foreknown before the foundation of the world but was made manifest in the last times for the sake of you He was chosen before the creation of the world, but was revealed in these last times for your sake.
21 Who by him do believe in God, who raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might rest on God. who through him are believers in God, who raised him from the dead and gave him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God. Through him you believe in God, who raised him from the dead and glorified him, and so your faith and hope are in God.
22 Let your souls be sanctified by obedience to the truth, and be filled with sincere love, so that you may love one another with pure and perfect hearts: Having purified your souls by your obedience to the truth for a sincere brotherly love, love one another earnestly from a pure heart, Now 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.
23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which lives and abides for ever. since you have been born again, not of perishable seed but of imperishable, through the living and abiding word of God; For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God.
24 For all flesh is as grass, and all its glory is as the flower of the field. The grass withers and the flower fades away: for “All flesh is like grass and all its glory like the flower of grass. The grass withers, and the flower falls, For, “All people are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field; the grass withers and the flowers fall,
25 But the word of our God endures for ever. And this is the very word which has been preached to you. but the word of the Lord remains forever.” And this word is the good news that was preached to you. but the word of the Lord endures forever.” And this is the word that was preached to you.
