彼得前书 1
Chinese Standard Bible (Simplified)
问安
1 耶稣基督的使徒彼得，
致那些蒙拣选，分散在本都、加拉太、卡帕多细亚、亚细亚、比提尼亚寄居的人， 2 就是按照父神的预知，藉着圣灵分别为圣，以致顺从耶稣基督，又蒙他宝血所洒的人：
愿恩典与平安多多地加给你们！
活的盼望
3 愿颂赞归于神——我们主耶稣基督的父！他照着自己极大的怜悯，藉着耶稣基督从死人中的复活，使我们重生，得着永生的盼望， 4 得着不会朽坏、不会玷污、不会衰残、保存[a]在天上的继业； 5 你们藉着信，在神的大能中蒙保守，以至于那预备好要在末世显现的救恩。 6 为此，你们欢欣跳跃，但如今必须在种种试炼中暂时忧伤， 7 好让你们的信仰经过考验，就比那被火炼过仍然会朽坏的金子更加宝贵，能在耶稣基督显现的时候，被看为是可以得着称赞、荣耀和尊贵的。 8 你们虽然没有见过他，却爱他；虽然如今看不到他，却信他，并且怀着无法描述、充满荣耀的喜乐而欢欣跳跃， 9 因为你们正在领受你们信仰的结果，就是灵魂的救恩。
10 关于这救恩，那些预言你们要得着这恩典的先知，曾经寻求过，详细查考过。 11 他们查考了自己里面基督之灵，当他预言有关基督的苦难和此后的荣耀时，究竟指明的是什么时候、或什么样的情况。 12 他们蒙了启示，知道所服事的这一切，不是为自己，而是为你们。如今，这些事藉着从天上派来的圣灵，通过那些向你们传福音的人，传讲给了你们；对于这些事，天使们也渴望能详细察看。
应当过圣洁的生活
13 因此，你们要约束自己的意念[b]，要谨慎，要把盼望完全寄托在耶稣基督显现时带给你们的恩典上。 14 做为顺从的儿女，不可效法你们原先愚昧无知时的那些欲望； 15 相反，正如召唤你们的那一位是圣洁的，你们在一切行为上也当成为圣洁的， 16 因为经上记着：“你们当成为圣洁的，因为我是圣洁的。”[c]
17 你们既然称不偏待人、只按每个人的行为施行审判的那一位为父，就应当怀着敬畏的心，过你们寄居的日子， 18 因为你们知道，你们被救赎，脱离祖先所传下来的虚妄行为，不是凭着会朽坏的东西，如银子或金子， 19 而是凭着那像羔羊一样毫无瑕疵、毫无玷污的基督宝血。 20 基督在创世以前就已经被神[d]预先知道，又在这末后的时代为你们的缘故显明出来。 21 藉着基督[e]，你们信靠那使他从死人中复活、又赐他荣耀的神，以致你们的信仰和盼望也都在于神。
22 你们既然藉着顺从真理，[f]使自己的灵魂[g]纯洁，以致有了不虚假的弟兄之爱，就应当以洁净的心[h]，彼此热切地相爱。 23 你们得以重生，不是出于会朽坏的种子，而是出于不朽坏的种子，是藉着神永活长存的话语， 24 因为，
所传给你们的福音就是这话。
彼得前書 1
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
1 我是耶穌基督的使徒彼得，寫信給蒙上帝揀選，寄居在本都、加拉太、加帕多迦、亞細亞、庇推尼各地的人。 2 你們蒙揀選是按照父上帝預先定好的旨意，藉著聖靈得以聖潔，好順服耶穌基督，並靠祂的血得到潔淨。
願上帝賜給你們豐豐富富的恩典和平安！
活潑的盼望
3 願頌讚歸於我們主耶穌基督的父上帝！祂有無窮的憐憫，藉著耶穌基督從死裡復活使我們獲得重生，有活潑的盼望， 4 可以承受那不會朽壞、沒有污點、不會衰殘、為你們存留在天上的產業。 5 你們這些因信而蒙上帝用大能保守的人，必能得到那已經預備好、在末世要顯明的救恩。
6 為此，即使現今你們必須暫時在百般試煉中忍受痛苦，也要滿懷喜樂。 7 這樣，你們的信心經過試驗便顯明是真實的，比那經過火煉仍會壞掉的金子更加寶貴，使你們可以在耶穌基督顯現時得到稱讚、榮耀和尊貴。 8 你們雖然沒有見過基督，卻愛祂；雖然現在看不見祂，卻信祂，並且有無法形容、充滿榮耀的喜樂。 9 因為你們得到了信心帶來的果效，就是你們的靈魂得救。
10 有關這救恩，那些預言恩典要臨到你們的眾先知早已詳細尋求查考了。 11 基督的靈曾在他們心中指示他們，預言基督要受苦，然後得榮耀。他們便詳細查考這些事會在什麼時候、什麼情況下發生。 12 他們得到啟示，知道他們傳講這些事不是為了自己，而是為了你們。現在，那些靠著從天上差來的聖靈向你們傳福音的人，已經將這些事傳給你們了。連天使也想把這些事看個明白。
要聖潔像主
13 所以，要預備好你們的心，謹慎自律，專心盼望耶穌基督顯現時要帶給你們的恩典。 14 你們既是順服的兒女，就不要再像從前無知的時候那樣放縱私慾。 15 那呼召你們的是聖潔的，你們在一切事上也要聖潔。 16 因為聖經上說：「你們要聖潔，因為我是聖潔的。」
17 既然你們稱呼那位按各人的行為公正無私地審判人的上帝為父，就應該存著敬畏的心過你們在世上寄居的日子。 18 要知道，你們從傳統的、沒有意義的生活中被救贖出來，不是靠金銀等會朽壞的東西， 19 而是靠無瑕無疵的代罪羔羊——基督的寶血。 20 基督是上帝在創世以前預先揀選的，卻在這末世為你們顯現。 21 你們藉著基督信了使祂從死裡復活、賜祂榮耀的上帝，所以，你們的信心和盼望都在於上帝。
22 你們既因順服真理，潔淨了自己的心，能夠真誠地愛弟兄姊妹，就當以清潔的心彼此切實相愛。 23 你們獲得重生，不是藉著會腐爛的種子，而是藉著不會腐爛的種子——上帝活潑永存的道。 24 因為
「芸芸眾生盡如草，
榮華不過草上花；
草必枯乾花必殘，
25 唯有主道永長存。」
這道就是傳給你們的福音。
1 Peter 1
Lexham English Bible
Greeting
1 Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the chosen[a] who are residing temporarily in the dispersion in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, 2 according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, by the sanctification of the Spirit, for obedience and for sprinkling with the blood of Jesus Christ. May grace and peace be multiplied to you.
A New Birth to a Living Hope
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to his great mercy has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4 into an inheritance imperishable and undefiled and unfading, reserved in heaven for you 5 who are being protected by the power of God through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time, 6 in which you rejoice greatly, although[b] now for a short time, if necessary,[c] you are distressed by various trials, 7 so that the genuineness of your faith, more valuable than gold that is passing away, but is tested by fire, may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ, 8 whom, although you[d] have not seen, you love; in whom now you believe, although you[e] do not see him, and you rejoice greatly with joy inexpressible and full of glory, 9 obtaining the goal of your faith, the salvation of your[f] souls.
10 Concerning this[g] salvation, the prophets who prophesied about the grace meant for you sought and made careful inquiry, 11 investigating for what person or which time the Spirit of Christ in them was indicating when he[h] testified beforehand to the sufferings with reference to Christ and the glories after these things, 12 to whom it was revealed that they were serving not themselves but you with reference to the same things which now have been announced to you through those who proclaimed the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven, things into which[i] angels desire to look.
Be Holy in All Your Conduct
13 Therefore, when you have prepared your minds for action[j] by[k] being self-controlled, put your hope completely in the grace that will be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ. 14 As obedient children, do not be conformed to the former desires you used to conform to[l] in your ignorance, 15 but as the one who called you is holy, you yourselves be holy in all your conduct, 16 for it is written, “You will be holy, because I am[m] holy.”[n][o] 17 And if you call on him as Father who judges impartially according to each one’s work, conduct yourselves with fear during the time of your temporary residence, 18 because you[p] know that you were redeemed from your futile way of life inherited from your ancestors not with perishable things like silver or gold, 19 but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of an unblemished and spotless lamb 20 who was foreknown before the foundation of the world, but has been revealed in these last times for you 21 who through him are believing in God, who raised him from the dead and gave him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God.
22 Having purified your souls by your obedience to the truth for sincere brotherly love, love one another fervently from the heart,[q] 23 because you[r] have been born again, not from perishable seed but imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God. 24 For
“all flesh is like grass,
and all its glory like the flower of the grass.
The grass withers and the flower falls off,
25 but the word of the Lord endures forever[s].”[t]
And this is the word that has been proclaimed to you.
