1Pet 1:1-25

NLT | Greek NT | Matchup | Interlinear | Reverse-Interlinear

1:1 This letter is from Peter , an apostle of Jesus Christ . I am writing to God’s chosen people who are living as foreigners in the provinces of Pontus , Galatia , Cappadocia , Asia , and Bithynia . * 2 God the Father knew you and chose you long ago , and his Spirit has made you holy . As a result , you have obeyed him and have been cleansed by the blood of Jesus Christ . May God give you more and more grace and peace . 3 All praise to God , the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ . It is by his great mercy that we have been born again , because God raised Jesus Christ from the dead . Now we live with great expectation , 4 and we have a priceless inheritance — an inheritance that is kept in heaven for you , pure and undefiled , beyond the reach of change and decay . 5 And through your faith , God is protecting you by his power until you receive this salvation , which is ready to be revealed on the last day for all to see . 6 So be truly glad . * There is wonderful joy ahead , even though you have to endure many trials for a little while . 7 These trials will show that your faith is genuine . It is being tested as fire tests and purifies gold — though your faith is far more precious than mere gold . So when your faith remains strong through many trials , it will bring you much praise and glory and honor on the day when Jesus Christ is revealed to the whole world . 8 You love him even though you have never seen him . Though you do not see him now , you trust him ; and you rejoice with a glorious , inexpressible joy . 9 The reward for trusting him will be the salvation of your souls . 10 This salvation was something even the prophets wanted to know more about when they prophesied about this gracious salvation prepared for you . 11 They wondered what time or situation the Spirit of Christ within them was talking about when he told them in advance about Christ’s suffering and his great glory afterward . 12 They were told that their messages were not for themselves , but for you . And now this Good News has been announced to you by those who preached in the power of the Holy Spirit sent from heaven . It is all so wonderful that even the angels are eagerly watching these things happen . 13 So think clearly and exercise self-control . Look forward to the gracious salvation that will come to you when Jesus Christ is revealed to the world . 14 So you must live as God’s obedient children . Don’t slip back into your old ways of living to satisfy your own desires . You didn’t know any better then . 15 But now you must be holy in everything you do , just as God who chose you is holy . 16 For the Scriptures say , “ You must be holy because I am holy . ” * 17 And remember that the heavenly Father to whom you pray has no favorites . He will judge or reward you according to what you do . So you must live in reverent fear of him during your time as “ foreigners in the land . ” 18 For you know that God paid a ransom to save you from the empty life you inherited from your ancestors . And the ransom he paid was not mere gold or silver . 19 It was the precious blood of Christ , the sinless , spotless Lamb of God . 20 God chose him as your ransom long before the world began , but he has now revealed him to you in these last days . 21 Through Christ you have come to trust in God . And you have placed your faith and hope in God because he raised Christ from the dead and gave him great glory . 22 You were cleansed from your sins when you obeyed the truth , so now you must show sincere love to each other as brothers and sisters . * Love each other deeply with all your heart . * 23 For you have been born again , but not to a life that will quickly end . Your new life will last forever because it comes from the eternal , living word of God . 24 As the Scriptures say , “ People are like grass ; their beauty is like a flower in the field . The grass withers and the flower fades . 25 But the word of the Lord remains forever . ” * And that word is the Good News that was preached to you .
