彼得前书 1
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
1 我是耶稣基督的使徒彼得,写信给蒙上帝拣选,寄居在本都、加拉太、加帕多迦、亚细亚、庇推尼各地的人。 2 你们蒙拣选是按照父上帝预先定好的旨意,借着圣灵得以圣洁,好顺服耶稣基督,并靠祂的血得到洁净。
愿上帝赐给你们丰丰富富的恩典和平安!
活泼的盼望
3 愿颂赞归于我们主耶稣基督的父上帝!祂有无穷的怜悯,借着耶稣基督从死里复活使我们获得重生,有活泼的盼望, 4 可以承受那不会朽坏、没有污点、不会衰残、为你们存留在天上的产业。 5 你们这些因信而蒙上帝用大能保守的人,必能得到那已经预备好、在末世要显明的救恩。
6 为此,即使现今你们必须暂时在百般试炼中忍受痛苦,也要满怀喜乐。 7 这样,你们的信心经过试验便显明是真实的,比那经过火炼仍会坏掉的金子更加宝贵,使你们可以在耶稣基督显现时得到称赞、荣耀和尊贵。 8 你们虽然没有见过基督,却爱祂;虽然现在看不见祂,却信祂,并且有无法形容、充满荣耀的喜乐。 9 因为你们得到了信心带来的果效,就是你们的灵魂得救。
10 有关这救恩,那些预言恩典要临到你们的众先知早已详细寻求查考了。 11 基督的灵曾在他们心中指示他们,预言基督要受苦,然后得荣耀。他们便详细查考这些事会在什么时候、什么情况下发生。 12 他们得到启示,知道他们传讲这些事不是为了自己,而是为了你们。现在,那些靠着从天上差来的圣灵向你们传福音的人,已经将这些事传给你们了。连天使也想把这些事看个明白。
要圣洁像主
13 所以,要预备好你们的心,谨慎自律,专心盼望耶稣基督显现时要带给你们的恩典。 14 你们既是顺服的儿女,就不要再像从前无知的时候那样放纵私欲。 15 那呼召你们的是圣洁的,你们在一切事上也要圣洁。 16 因为圣经上说:“你们要圣洁,因为我是圣洁的。”
17 既然你们称呼那位按各人的行为公正无私地审判人的上帝为父,就应该存着敬畏的心过你们在世上寄居的日子。 18 要知道,你们从传统的、没有意义的生活中被救赎出来,不是靠金银等会朽坏的东西, 19 而是靠无瑕无疵的代罪羔羊——基督的宝血。 20 基督是上帝在创世以前预先拣选的,却在这末世为你们显现。 21 你们借着基督信了使祂从死里复活、赐祂荣耀的上帝,所以,你们的信心和盼望都在于上帝。
22 你们既因顺服真理,洁净了自己的心,能够真诚地爱弟兄姊妹,就当以清洁的心彼此切实相爱。 23 你们获得重生,不是借着会腐烂的种子,而是借着不会腐烂的种子——上帝活泼永存的道。 24 因为
“芸芸众生尽如草,
荣华不过草上花;
草必枯干花必残,
25 唯有主道永长存。”
这道就是传给你们的福音。

Saludo
1 Pedro, apóstol de Jesucristo(A):
A los expatriados(B), de la dispersión(C) en el[a] Ponto(D), Galacia(E), Capadocia(F), Asia(G) y Bitinia(H), elegidos(I) 2 según el previo conocimiento de Dios Padre(J), por la obra santificadora del Espíritu(K), para obedecer a Jesucristo(L) y ser rociados con Su sangre[b](M): Que la gracia y la paz les sean multiplicadas(N) a ustedes.
La esperanza viva del cristiano
3 Bendito sea el Dios y Padre de nuestro Señor Jesucristo(O), quien según Su gran misericordia(P), nos ha hecho nacer de nuevo(Q) a una esperanza viva(R), mediante la resurrección de Jesucristo de entre los muertos(S), 4 para obtener una herencia(T) incorruptible, inmaculada, y que no se marchitará(U), reservada en los cielos para ustedes(V).
5 Mediante la fe(W) ustedes son protegidos por el poder de Dios(X), para la salvación(Y) que está preparada para ser revelada en el último tiempo(Z). 6 En lo cual ustedes se regocijan grandemente(AA), aunque ahora, por un poco de tiempo(AB) si es necesario(AC), sean afligidos con diversas pruebas[c](AD), 7 para que la prueba[d] de la fe de ustedes(AE), más preciosa que el oro que perece, aunque probado por fuego(AF), sea hallada que resulta en alabanza(AG), gloria y honor en la revelación de Jesucristo(AH); 8 a quien sin haber visto(AI), ustedes lo aman(AJ), y a quien ahora no ven, pero creen en Él, y se regocijan grandemente con gozo inefable y lleno de gloria[e], 9 obteniendo, como[f] resultado de su fe(AK), la salvación de sus[g] almas.
10 Acerca de esta salvación(AL), los profetas que profetizaron(AM) de la gracia que vendría a ustedes(AN), diligentemente inquirieron y averiguaron, 11 procurando saber[h] qué persona o tiempo indicaba el Espíritu de Cristo(AO) dentro de ellos, al predecir los sufrimientos de Cristo(AP) y las glorias que seguirían[i]. 12 A ellos les fue revelado que no se servían a sí mismos, sino a ustedes, en estas cosas que ahora les han sido anunciadas mediante los que les predicaron el evangelio(AQ) por el Espíritu Santo(AR) enviado del cielo; cosas a las cuales los ángeles anhelan mirar[j](AS).
Exhortación a la santidad
13 Por tanto, preparen su entendimiento(AT) para la acción[k]. Sean[l] sobrios en espíritu(AU), pongan su esperanza(AV) completamente en la gracia(AW) que se les traerá[m] en la revelación[n] de Jesucristo(AX). 14 Como hijos obedientes[o](AY), no se conformen a los deseos(AZ) que antes tenían en su ignorancia(BA), 15 sino que así como Aquel que los llamó es Santo[p](BB), así también sean ustedes santos(BC) en toda su manera de vivir(BD). 16 Porque escrito está: «Sean santos, porque Yo soy santo(BE)». 17 Y si invocan como Padre(BF) a Aquel que imparcialmente(BG) juzga(BH) según la obra de cada uno, condúzcanse con temor[q](BI) durante el tiempo de su peregrinación(BJ).
18 Ustedes saben que no fueron redimidos[r](BK) de su vana manera de vivir heredada de sus padres(BL) con cosas perecederas como oro o plata, 19 sino con sangre preciosa(BM), como de un cordero sin tacha y sin mancha(BN): la sangre de Cristo. 20 Porque Él estaba preparado[s](BO) desde antes de la fundación del mundo(BP), pero se ha manifestado(BQ) en estos últimos tiempos por amor a ustedes(BR). 21 Por medio de Él son creyentes en Dios(BS), que lo resucitó de entre los muertos y le dio gloria(BT), de manera que la fe y esperanza de ustedes sean en Dios(BU).
Exhortación al amor fraternal
22 Puesto que en obediencia a la verdad(BV) ustedes han purificado sus almas[t](BW) para un amor sincero de hermanos(BX), ámense unos a otros entrañablemente, de corazón puro. 23 Pues han nacido de nuevo(BY), no de una simiente(BZ) corruptible, sino de una que es incorruptible, es decir, mediante la palabra de Dios que vive y permanece[u](CA). 24 Porque:
«Toda carne es como la hierba,
Y toda su gloria como la flor de la hierba.
Sécase la hierba,
Cáese la flor(CB),
25 Pero la palabra del Señor permanece para siempre(CC)».
Esa es la palabra que a ustedes les fue predicada[v](CD).

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.

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.

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.
