OET 1PET chapter 1

Literal Version

1 This letter is from Peter, a missionary for Yeshua the messiah.

It’s written to those who’ve been chosen by God and dispersed by persecution throughout the provinces of Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia Minor and Bithynia. 2 They were chosen in advance by God the father by his pure spirit, thanks to the obedience of Yeshua the messiah and the sprinkling of his blood.

May God give you all grace and multiplied peace.

1:3 The future hope of life without ending

3 May God, the father of our master Yeshua the messiah be blessed. He’s the one who, because of his incredible mercy, births us into living hope through the death and coming back to life of Yeshua the messiah. 4 Now we have an inheritance that can’t be destroyed or ruined and never diminishes. It’s kept in the heavens for you all 5 who are guarded through faith by God’s power, because salvation is ready to be revealed in the final age.

6 This salvation brings some happiness now, although offset by the sorrow of various trials that you all go through 7 in order that your faith will be purified by fire, like gold but even more precious because gold perishes. Then your faith will lead to praise and glory and honour when Yeshua the messiah is revealed, 8 the one you all love although you’ve never seen him. Yet you all believe and because of that you are more happy than you all can even show AND HAVING BEEN GLORIFIED, 9 you’ll receive the result of your faith which is the salvation of your souls.

10 The prophets wanted that salvation and searched for it, even while speaking about the grace which you all would experience. 11 They tried to discover which person or what time that the messiah’s spirit within them was telling them, having previously testified that the messiah would suffer but afterwards would be GLORIOUS. 12 It was shown to them that they weren’t just serving themselves but were serving you as they declared all the same things that have been preached to you all by the holy spirit who was sent from heaven. Even God’s messengers in heaven wanted to know more about those things.

3 Blessed is the god and father of _the master of _us, Yaʸsous chosen _one /messiah, who according _to the great mercy of _him, having _born _again us to a_ living _hope, through the_resurrection of_Yaʸsous chosen _one /messiah from the_dead, 4 to an_ indestructible _inheritance, and undefiled, and unfading, having _been _kept in the_heavens for you _all, 5 who by the_power of_god being _guarded through faith, because/for the_salvation ready to _be _revealed in the_ last _time.
6 In which you _all _are _exulting a_little now, if fitting having _been _sorrowed by various trials, 7 in _order _that the proving the faith of _you _all more _preciously than gold which is perishing, by but fire being _approved, may _be _found to praise, and glory, and honour, in the_revelation of_Yaʸsous/(Yəhōshūˊa) chosen _one /messiah.
8 Whom you _all _are _loving not having _seen, in whom now not seeing but believing, you _all _are _exulting with _joy inexpressible and having _been _glorified, 9 receiving _back the outcome of _the faith of _you _all, the_salvation of _souls.
10 Concerning which salvation, the_prophets which sought _out and searched _out, having _prophesied for the grace toward you _all, 11 searching into who or what time the spirit of_chosen _one /messiah in them was _making _evident, previously _testifying the sufferings for the_chosen _one /messiah, and the after these things glories.
12 To _whom it _was _revealed that they _were_ not _serving unto _themselves, but unto _you _all the_same things, which now was _declared to _you _all, by the ones having _good _message _preached to _you _all by_the_ holy _spirit, having _been _sent _out from heaven, into which things messengers are _desiring to _investigate.

1:13 The holy behaviour of believers

13 So take this seriously and get your minds prepared, and putting your full hope on the grace that will be brought to you all by the revelation of Yeshua the messiah. 14 As people who want to obey, don’t conform to your earlier desires that came from your ignorance, 15 but just as God who called you is holy, your yourselves need to be holy in all your conduct, 16 [ref]because it’s been written that ‘you all will be holy because I am holy.’

17 As since you call on the father who impartially judges each person according to their actions, then continue to obey him even as you all live in foreign lands, 18 knowing that when you all were in slavery due to your poor conduct that you inherited from your ancestors, you weren’t bought out of that by payment of perishable things like silver or gold, 19 but by the precious blood of the messiah—the unblemished and spotless lamb. 20 He had been foreknown before the creation of the world, yet he was only revealed recently for the sake of all of you 21 who believe in God through him. God was the one who raised him from the dead and honoured him, so that your faith and hope would be in God.

22 Since your souls have been purified by obeying the truth, now you should love each other from your hearts and without hypocrisy. 23 You’ve been born again, not by some physical thing that will perish, but of indestructible material—God’s message that’s alive and lives on 24 because it’s written:[ref]

‘All flesh is like grass,

and the beauty of our bodies like its flower.

The grass will wither and its flower will drop

25 but the master’s message will last till the end of the age.’

And that’s the good message that has been preached to all of you.

1:16: Lev 11:44-45; 19:2.

1:24-25: Isa 40:6-8 (LXX).

13 Therefore having _girded _up the loins of _the mind of _you _all, being _sober, completely hope on the grace being _brought to _you _all at the_revelation of_Yaʸsous chosen _one /messiah.
14 As children of _obedience, not conforming to _the earlier desires in the ignorance of _you _all, 15 but as the one having _called you _all holy, also let_ yourselves _become holy in all conduct, 16 because it _has _been _written, you _all _will _be:
holy, because I am holy.
17 And if you _all _are _calling _on the_father, the one impartially judging according _to the work of _each one, be _conducted in fear the of _the sojourn time of _you _all, 18 having _known that you _all _were _redeemed not by _perishable things, by _silver or by _gold, from the useless conduct of _you _all inherited _from _forefathers, 19 but by_the_precious blood, of_chosen _one /messiah as of_a_lamb unblemished and spotless, 20 having _been _foreknown on _one _hand before the_foundation of_the_world, on _the _other _hand having _been _revealed in the_last the times because _of you _all, 21 who by him believing in god, the one having _raised him from the_dead, and having _given glory to _him, so _as the faith and hope of _you _all, to _be in god.
22 Having _purified the souls of _you _all by the obedience to _the truth in unhypocritical brotherly _love earnestly love one _another out _of heart.
23 Having _been _born _again, not of perishable but of _indestructible seed, by the_ living and remaining _message of_god.
24 Because:
All flesh is like grass, and all the_glory of _it like the_flower of _grass.
The Grass /Was /_withered, and the flower fell _from, 25 but the the_message of_the_master is _remaining to the age.
And this is the message which having _been _good _message _preached to you _all.
