彼得前书 1
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
問安
1 耶穌基督的使徒彼得，寫信給那分散在本都、加拉太、加帕多家、亞西亞、庇推尼寄居的人， 2 就是照著父 神的預知蒙揀選，藉著聖靈得成聖潔，因而順服，並且被耶穌基督的血灑過的人。願恩惠平安多多地加給你們。
信心經過考驗比金子更寶貴
3 我們主耶穌基督的父 神是應當稱頌的。他照著自己的大憐憫，藉著耶穌基督從死人中復活，重生了我們，使我們有永活的盼望， 4 可以得著不能朽壞、不能玷污、不能衰殘，為你們存留在天上的基業， 5 就是你們這因信蒙 神能力保守的人，得著預備在末世要顯現的救恩。 6 因此，你們要喜樂。然而，你們現今在各種試煉中或許暫時會難過， 7 是要叫你們的信心經過試驗，就比那被火煉過，仍會朽壞的金子更寶貴，可以在耶穌基督顯現的時候，得著稱讚、榮耀和尊貴。 8 你們雖然沒有見過他，卻愛他；現在雖然不能看見他，卻信他。因此，你們就有無法形容、滿有榮耀的大喜樂， 9 得到你們信心的效果，就是靈魂得救。
10 論到這救恩，那預言你們要得恩典的眾先知，都尋求考察過， 11 就是把他們心裡基督的靈所預先見證，關於基督要受苦難後來得榮耀，是在甚麼時候和怎樣的情況加以考察。 12 他們蒙了啟示，為這些事效力，並不是為自己，而是為你們。現在，藉著傳福音給你們的人，靠著從天上差來的聖靈，把這些事傳給了你們；甚至天使也很想詳細察看這些事。
你們要聖潔
13 所以要準備好你們的心，警醒謹慎，專心盼望耶穌基督顯現的時候所要帶給你們的恩典。 14 你們既是順服的兒女，就不要再效法從前無知的時候放縱私慾的生活。 15 那召你們的既是聖潔的，你們在一切所行的事上也要聖潔。 16 因為聖經上記著說：“你們要聖潔，因為我是聖潔的。”
17 你們既稱那不偏待人、按各人行為審判的主為父，就當存敬畏的心，過你們寄居的日子； 18 因為知道你們得贖，脫去你們祖先傳下的妄行，不是憑著能壞的金銀等物， 19 而是憑著基督的寶血，就像無瑕疵無玷污的羊羔的血。 20 基督是在創立世界以前，是 神所預知的，卻在這末後的世代才為你們顯現出來。 21 藉著他，你們信那使他從死人中復活、又給他榮耀的 神，叫你們的信心和盼望都在於 神。
主的道永遠長存
22 你們既因順從真理，潔淨了自己的心靈，以致能真誠地愛弟兄，就應當從清潔的心裡彼此切實相愛。 23 你們得了重生，並不是由於能壞的種子，卻是由於不能朽壞的，就是藉著 神永活長存的道。 24 因為
“所有的人（“人”原文作“肉體”），盡都如草，
他們的榮美，都像草上的花；
草必枯乾，花必凋謝，
25 唯有主的道，永遠長存。”
所傳給你們的福音就是這道。
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
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.
1 Pedro 1
Nueva Biblia de las Américas
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).
