1 Peter 1
New International Version
1 Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ,(A)
To God’s elect,(B) exiles(C) scattered(D) throughout the provinces of Pontus,(E) Galatia,(F) Cappadocia, Asia and Bithynia,(G) 2 who have been chosen according to the foreknowledge(H) of God the Father, through the sanctifying work of the Spirit,(I) to be obedient(J) to Jesus Christ and sprinkled with his blood:(K)
Grace and peace be yours in abundance.(L)
Praise to God for a Living Hope
3 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ!(M) In his great mercy(N) he has given us new birth(O) into a living hope(P) through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,(Q) 4 and into an inheritance(R) that can never perish, spoil or fade.(S) This inheritance is kept in heaven for you,(T) 5 who through faith are shielded by God’s power(U) until the coming of the salvation(V) that is ready to be revealed(W) in the last time. 6 In all this you greatly rejoice,(X) though now for a little while(Y) you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials.(Z) 7 These have come so that the proven genuineness(AA) of your faith—of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire(AB)—may result in praise, glory and honor(AC) when Jesus Christ is revealed.(AD) 8 Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him(AE) and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy, 9 for you are receiving the end result of your faith, the salvation of your souls.(AF)
10 Concerning this salvation, the prophets, who spoke(AG) of the grace that was to come to you,(AH) searched intently and with the greatest care,(AI) 11 trying to find out the time and circumstances to which the Spirit of Christ(AJ) in them was pointing when he predicted(AK) the sufferings of the Messiah and the glories that would follow. 12 It was revealed to them that they were not serving themselves but you,(AL) when they spoke of the things that have now been told you by those who have preached the gospel to you(AM) by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven.(AN) Even angels long to look into these things.
Be Holy
13 Therefore, with minds that are alert and fully sober,(AO) set your hope(AP) on the grace to be brought to you(AQ) when Jesus Christ is revealed at his coming.(AR) 14 As obedient(AS) children, do not conform(AT) to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance.(AU) 15 But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do;(AV) 16 for it is written: “Be holy, because I am holy.”[a](AW)
17 Since you call on a Father(AX) who judges each person’s work(AY) impartially,(AZ) live out your time as foreigners(BA) here in reverent fear.(BB) 18 For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed(BC) from the empty way of life(BD) handed down to you from your ancestors, 19 but with the precious blood(BE) of Christ, a lamb(BF) without blemish or defect.(BG) 20 He was chosen before the creation of the world,(BH) but was revealed in these last times(BI) for your sake. 21 Through him you believe in God,(BJ) who raised him from the dead(BK) and glorified him,(BL) and so your faith and hope(BM) are in God.
22 Now that you have purified(BN) yourselves by obeying(BO) the truth so that you have sincere love for each other, love one another deeply,(BP) from the heart.[b] 23 For you have been born again,(BQ) not of perishable seed, but of imperishable,(BR) through the living and enduring word of God.(BS) 24 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 the Lord endures forever.”[c](BT)
And this is the word that was preached to you.

Ang Salita ng Dios (Tagalog Contemporary Bible)
1 Mula kay Pedro na apostol ni Jesu-Cristo.
Mahal kong mga pinili ng Dios na nangalat at naninirahan bilang mga dayuhan sa Pontus, Galacia, Capadosia, Asia at Bitinia:
2 Pinili na kayo ng Dios Ama noon pa para maging mga anak niya sa pamamagitan ng Banal na Espiritu, para sundin nʼyo si Jesu-Cristo at upang linisin kayo sa mga kasalanan nʼyo sa pamamagitan ng kanyang dugo.
Sumainyo nawa ang higit pang biyaya at kapayapaan.
May Inihanda ang Dios para sa Atin
3-4 Purihin natin ang Dios at Ama ng ating Panginoong Jesu-Cristo! Dahil sa dakila niyang awa sa atin, ipinanganak tayong muli sa pamamagitan ng muling pagkabuhay ni Jesu-Cristo. Ito ang nagbibigay sa atin ng malaking pag-asa na may nakahandang mana ang Dios para sa atin. Ang manang itoʼy nasa langit, walang kapintasan, hindi nasisira, at hindi kumukupas. 5 At sa pamamagitan ng pananampalataya nʼyo, iniingatan kayo ng kapangyarihan ng Dios habang naghihintay kayo ng kaligtasang nakalaang ihayag sa huling panahon.
6 Dahil dito, dapat kayong magalak sa kabila ng ibaʼt ibang pagsubok, dahil ang mga pagsubok na itoʼy panandalian lang, at dapat ninyong maranasan, 7 para masubukan kung talagang tunay ang pananampalataya ninyo. Katulad ng ginto, sinusubok ito sa apoy para malaman kung tunay o hindi. Pero mas mahalaga ang pananampalataya natin kaysa sa ginto na nawawala. Kaya kapag napatunayang tunay ang pananampalataya nʼyo, papupurihan kayoʼt pararangalan pagdating ni Jesu-Cristo. 8 Kahit hindi nʼyo siya nakita ay mahal nʼyo siya, at kahit hindi nʼyo pa siya nakikita hanggang ngayon, sumasampalataya pa rin kayo sa kanya. At nag-uumapaw ang inyong kagalakan na hindi kayang ipahayag ng bibig, 9 dahil tinatanggap nʼyo ang bunga ng pananampalataya nʼyo, na walang iba kundi ang inyong kaligtasan. 10 Ang kaligtasang itoʼy pinagsikapang saliksikin ng mga propeta noon. Sila ang nagpahayag tungkol sa kaloob na ito ng Dios sa atin. 11 Ipinahayag na sa kanila ng Espiritu ni Cristo na nasa kanila, na maghihirap siya bago parangalan. Kaya patuloy sa pagsasaliksik ang mga propeta noon kung kailan at kung papaano ito mangyayari. 12 Ipinahayag din sa kanila na ang mga bagay na ipinaalam nila ay hindi para sa ikabubuti nila kundi para sa atin.[a] At ngayon, napakinggan nʼyo na sa mga nangangaral ng Magandang Balita ang mga ipinahayag nila. Nagsalita sila sa inyo sa pamamagitan ng kapangyarihan ng Banal na Espiritung sinugo sa kanila mula sa langit. Kahit ang mga anghel noon ay nagnais na maunawaan ang Magandang Balitang ito na ipinangaral sa inyo.
Sundin Ninyo ang Dios
13 Kaya lagi kayong maging handa na gawin ang kalooban ng Dios. Magpakatatag kayo at lubos na umasa na matatanggap nʼyo ang mga pagpapalang ibibigay sa inyo kapag dumating na si Jesu-Cristo. 14 Bilang masunuring mga anak ng Dios, huwag kayong padadala sa masasamang hilig ninyo noong hindi pa kayo nakakakilala sa Dios. 15 Banal ang Dios na tumawag sa inyo, kaya dapat magpakabanal din kayo sa lahat ng ginagawa ninyo. 16 Sapagkat sinasabi ng Dios sa Kasulatan, “Magpakabanal kayo dahil banal ako.”[b]
17 Walang pinapaboran ang Dios. Hinahatulan niya ang mga tao ayon sa gawa ng bawat isa. Kaya kung tinatawag nʼyo siyang Ama kapag nananalangin kayo sa kanya, igalang nʼyo siya habang naninirahan pa kayo sa mundong ito. 18 Alam naman ninyo kung ano ang ipinangtubos sa inyo mula sa walang kabuluhang pamumuhay na minana nʼyo sa mga ninuno ninyo. Ang ipinangtubos sa inyoʼy hindi ang mga bagay na nawawala katulad ng ginto o pilak, 19 kundi ang mahalagang dugo ni Cristo. Katulad siya ng isang tupa na walang dungis o kapintasan na inihandog sa Dios. 20 Bago pa likhain ang mundo, pinili na ng Dios si Cristo para maging Tagapagligtas natin. At ipinahayag siya ng Dios nitong mga huling araw alang-alang sa inyo. 21 Sa pamamagitan niya, sumasampalataya kayo sa Dios na muling bumuhay at nagparangal sa kanya. Kaya ang pananalig nʼyo ay sa Dios, at umaasa kayo sa kanya na muli niya rin kayong bubuhayin at pararangalan.
22 At dahil sumusunod na kayo sa katotohanan, malinis na kayo sa mga kasalanan ninyo, at ngayon ay nagkaroon na kayo ng tapat na pagmamahal sa mga kapatid nʼyo kay Cristo. Magmahalan kayo ng taos-puso, 23 dahil ipinanganak na kayong muli. At ang kapanganakang itoʼy hindi sa pamamagitan ng mga magulang ninyong namamatay, kundi sa pamamagitan ng buhay at walang hanggang salita ng Dios. 24 Ayon sa Kasulatan,
“Ang lahat ng tao ay parang damo,
ang kanilang katanyagan ay parang bulaklak nito.
Ang damo ay nalalanta at ang bulaklak nito ay nalalaglag,
25 ngunit ang salita ng Panginoon ay nananatili magpakailanman.”[c]
At ang salitang ito ay ang Magandang Balitang ipinangaral sa inyo.
1 Peter 1
King James Version
1 Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the strangers scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,
2 Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied.
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
4 To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,
5 Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
6 Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations:
7 That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:
8 Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:
9 Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.
10 Of which salvation the prophets have enquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you:
11 Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow.
12 Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto us they did minister the things, which are now reported unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into.
13 Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;
14 As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance:
15 But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;
16 Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.
17 And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man's work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear:
18 Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers;
19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:
20 Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,
21 Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God.
22 Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently:
23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.
24 For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away:
25 But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.
