10 Concerning this salvation, the prophets who foretold the grace to come to you⁺ searched and investigated carefully, 11 trying to determine the time and setting to which the Spirit {Pneuma} of Christ (the Anointed One) in them was pointing when He predicted the sufferings of Christ and the glories to follow. 12 It was revealed (uncovered) to them that they were not serving themselves, but you⁺, when they foretold the things now announced by those who preached the gospel (good news) to you⁺ by the Holy Spirit {Hagiō Pneumati} sent from heaven. Even angels (messengers) long to look into these things. 13 Therefore prepare your⁺ minds for action \Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind/. Be sober-minded. Set your hope fully on the grace to be given you⁺ at the revelation of Jesus (YHWH saves) Christ (the Anointed One). 14 As obedient children, do not conform to the passions of your⁺ former ignorance. 15 But just as He who called you⁺ is holy, so be holy in all you do, 16 for it is written: “Be holy, because I am holy 17 Since you⁺ call on a Father {Patera} who judges each one’s work impartially, conduct yourselves in reverent fear during your⁺ stay as foreigners. 18 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 you⁺ inherited from your forefathers, 19 but with the precious blood of Christ (the Anointed One), a lamb without blemish (blameless) or spot. 20 He was known before the foundation of the world, but was revealed in the last times for your⁺ sake. 21 Through Him you⁺ believe in God {Theon}, who raised Him from the dead and glorified {doxan} Him; and so your⁺ faith and hope are in God. 22 Since you⁺ have purified your⁺ souls {psychas} by obedience to the truth so that you⁺ have a genuine love for your⁺ brothers {philadelphian}, love {agapēsate} one another deeply, from a pure heart [from the heart]. 23 For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God {Theou}. 24 For, “All flesh is like grass, and all its glory {doxa} like the flowers of the field; the grass withers and the flowers fall, 25 but the word {rhēma} of the Lord {Kyriou} stands forever 1 Peter 1:10-25, Berean Annotated Bible.
