베드로전서 1
Korean Living Bible
1 그리스도의 사도 베드로는 본도, 갈라디아, 갑바도기아, 아시아, 비두니아 각 지방에 흩어져 사는 [a]유대인 성도들에게 편지합니다.
2 하나님 아버지께서는 미리 아신 대로 여러분을 선택하시고 성령님을 통해 거룩하게 하여 여러분이 예수 그리스도에게 순종하고 그분의 피로 구원을 얻도록 하셨습니다. 여러분에게 은혜와 평안이 더욱 넘치기를 기도합니다.
기쁨과 시련
3 우리 주 예수 그리스도의 아버지 하나님께 찬양을 드립시다. 그분은 우리를 불쌍히 여기셔서 죽은 사람들 가운데서 부활하신 예수 그리스도를 통해 우리를 거듭나게 하시고 살 희망을 갖게 하셨으며
4 썩지 않고 더럽혀지지 않고 시들지 않는 하늘에 간직한 축복을 여러분이 받도록 하셨습니다.
5 여러분은 마지막 때에 나타나도록 예비된 구원을 얻기 위해 믿음을 통해서 하나님의 능력으로 보호를 받고 있습니다.
6 그러므로 여러분이 여러 가지 시련으로 잠시 근심할 수밖에 없으나 그래도 여러분은 크게 기뻐하고 있습니다.
7 시련을 겪은 순수한 믿음은 불로 연단하여도 없어질 금보다 더 귀하여 예수 그리스도께서 다시 오실 때 칭찬과 영광과 존귀를 받게 됩니다.
8 여러분은 예수 그리스도를 본 일이 없으나 사랑하고 있으며 지금도 보지 못하지만 그분을 믿고 말로 다 표현할 수 없는 영광스러운 기쁨으로 즐거워하고 있습니다.
9 그것은 여러분의 영혼이 믿음으로 구원을 받기 때문입니다.
10 이 구원은 여러분에게 내려 주실 은혜에 대하여 말한 예언자들이 열심히 찾고 깊이 연구하던 것입니다.
11 그리고 그들은 자기들 속에 계신 [b]성령님이 그리스도의 고난과 그 뒤에 올 영광을 미리 알려 주신 대로 그 일이 언제 어떻게 일어날 것인지를 알려고 노력하였습니다.
12 예언자들의 이런 사역은 자신들을 위한 것이 아니라 여러분을 위한 것임을 하나님께서 그들에게 알려 주셨습니다. 그리고 그들이 연구한 진리는 하나님께서 보내신 성령님의 도움으로 기쁜 소식을 전하는 사람들에 의해 여러분에게 알려졌습니다. 이것은 천사들도 알기를 원하는 것입니다.
13 그러므로 여러분은 마음을 가다듬고 정신을 바짝 차리고 예수 그리스도께서 다시 오실 때에 주실 은혜를 간절히 기다리십시오.
14 여러분이 전에는 몰라서 온갖 욕심을 따라 살았지만 이제는 순종하는 자녀답게 하나님께 복종하십시오.
15 그리고 여러분을 부르신 하나님이 거룩하신 것처럼 여러분도 모든 행동에 거룩한 사람이 되십시오.
16 성경에도 [c]“내가 거룩하니 너희도 거룩하여라” 고 쓰여 있습니다.
17 각 사람이 행한 대로 공정하게 심판하시는 분을 아버지라고 부른다면 여러분은 이 세상에서 나그네 생활을 하는 동안 두려운 마음으로 살아가십시오.
죄값을 지불하다
18 여러분도 알고 있겠지만 여러분의 조상들이 전해 준 무가치한 생활 방식에서 여러분이 해방된 것은 은이나 금과 같이 없어질 것으로 된 것이 아니라
19 흠과 티가 없는 어린 양 같은 그리스도의 보배로운 피로 된 것입니다.
20 하나님께서는 세상을 창조하시기 전에 미리 그리스도를 선택하시고 마지막 때에 여러분을 위해 나타나게 하셨습니다.
21 여러분은 하나님이 죽은 사람들 가운데서 다시 살려 영광스럽게 하신 그리스도를 통해 하나님을 믿게 되었습니다. 그래서 그분에게 여러분의 믿음과 희망을 두고 있습니다.
22 여러분은 진리에 순종하여 자신의 영혼을 깨끗하게 하였고 진심으로 형제를 사랑하게 되었으니 순결한 마음으로 서로 뜨겁게 사랑하십시오.
23 여러분이 거듭난 것은 썩어질 씨로 된 것이 아니라 썩지 않을 씨로 된 것이며 영원히 살아 있는 하나님의 말씀으로 된 것입니다.
24 이것은 성경에 기록된 말씀과 같습니다. [d]“모든 인간은 풀과 같고 그 영광은 들의 꽃과 같아서 그 풀이 마르고 꽃은 떨어지나
25 주의 말씀은 영원히 존재한다.” 이 말씀이 우리가 여러분에게 전한 기쁜 소식입니다.
1 Peter 1
New King James Version
Greeting to the Elect Pilgrims
1 Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ,
To the [a]pilgrims (A)of the Dispersion in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, 2 (B)elect (C)according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, (D)in sanctification of the Spirit, for (E)obedience and (F)sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ:
(G)Grace to you and peace be multiplied.
A Heavenly Inheritance
3 (H)Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who (I)according to His abundant mercy (J)has begotten us again to a living hope (K)through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4 to an inheritance [b]incorruptible and undefiled and that does not fade away, (L)reserved in heaven for you, 5 (M)who are kept by the power of God through faith for salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
6 (N)In this you greatly rejoice, though now (O)for a little while, if need be, (P)you have been [c]grieved by various trials, 7 that (Q)the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though (R)it is tested by fire, (S)may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ, 8 (T)whom having not [d]seen you love. (U)Though now you do not see Him, yet believing, you rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory, 9 receiving the end of your faith—the salvation of your souls.
10 Of this salvation the prophets have inquired and searched carefully, who prophesied of the grace that would come to you, 11 searching what, or what manner of time, (V)the Spirit of Christ who was in them was indicating when He testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ and the glories that would follow. 12 To them it was revealed that, not to themselves, but to [e]us they were ministering the things which now have been reported to you through those who have preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven—things which (W)angels desire to look into.
Living Before God Our Father
13 Therefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and rest your hope fully upon the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; 14 as obedient children, not (X)conforming yourselves to the former lusts, as in your ignorance; 15 (Y)but as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, 16 because it is written, (Z)“Be holy, for I am holy.”
17 And if you call on the Father, who (AA)without partiality judges according to each one’s work, conduct yourselves throughout the time of your [f]stay here in fear; 18 knowing that you were not redeemed with [g]corruptible things, like silver or gold, from your aimless conduct received by tradition from your fathers, 19 but (AB)with the precious blood of Christ, (AC)as of a lamb without blemish and without spot. 20 (AD)He indeed was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was [h]manifest (AE)in these last times for you 21 who through Him believe in God, (AF)who raised Him from the dead and (AG)gave Him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God.
The Enduring Word
22 Since you (AH)have purified your souls in obeying the truth [i]through the Spirit in [j]sincere (AI)love of the brethren, love one another fervently with a pure heart, 23 (AJ)having been born again, not of [k]corruptible seed but [l]incorruptible, (AK)through the word of God which lives and abides [m]forever, 24 because
(AL)“All flesh is as grass,
And all [n]the glory of man as the flower of the grass.
The grass withers,
And its flower falls away,
25 (AM)But the [o]word of the Lord endures forever.”
(AN)Now this is the word which by the gospel was preached to you.

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.

English Standard Version
Greeting
1 Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ,
To those who are elect exiles of (A)the Dispersion in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, 2 according to (B)the foreknowledge of God the Father, (C)in the sanctification of the Spirit, for obedience to Jesus Christ and (D)for sprinkling with his blood:
May (E)grace and (F)peace be multiplied to you.
Born Again to a Living Hope
3 (G)Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! (H)According to his great mercy, (I)he has caused us to be born again to a living hope (J)through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4 to (K)an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and (L)unfading, (M)kept in heaven for you, 5 who by God's power are being guarded (N)through faith for a salvation (O)ready to be revealed in the last time. 6 In this you rejoice, though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been grieved by (P)various trials, 7 so that (Q)the tested genuineness of your faith—more precious than gold that perishes (R)though it is tested by (S)fire—may be found to result in (T)praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ. 8 (U)Though you have not seen him, you love him. (V)Though you do not now see him, you believe in him and rejoice with joy that is inexpressible and filled with glory, 9 obtaining (W)the outcome of your faith, the salvation of your souls.
10 Concerning this salvation, (X)the prophets who prophesied about the grace that was to be yours searched and inquired carefully, 11 inquiring (Y)what person or time[a] (Z)the Spirit of Christ in them was indicating (AA)when he predicted (AB)the sufferings of Christ and the subsequent glories. 12 (AC)It was revealed to them that (AD)they were serving not themselves but you, in the things that have now been announced to you through those who preached the good news to you (AE)by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven, (AF)things into which angels long to look.
Called to Be Holy
13 Therefore, (AG)preparing your minds for action,[b] and (AH)being sober-minded, set your hope fully on the grace that will be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ. 14 As obedient children, (AI)do not be conformed to the passions (AJ)of your former ignorance, 15 but (AK)as he who called you is holy, you also be holy (AL)in all your conduct, 16 since it is written, (AM)“You shall be holy, for I am holy.” 17 And if you (AN)call on him as Father who (AO)judges (AP)impartially according to each one's deeds, conduct yourselves (AQ)with fear throughout the time of your exile, 18 knowing that you (AR)were ransomed from (AS)the futile ways inherited from your forefathers, not with perishable things such as silver or gold, 19 but (AT)with the precious blood of Christ, like that of (AU)a lamb (AV)without blemish or spot. 20 He was foreknown before the foundation of the world but (AW)was made manifest (AX)in the last times for the sake of you 21 (AY)who through him are believers in God, (AZ)who raised him from the dead and (BA)gave him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God.
22 Having purified your souls by your obedience to the truth for (BB)a sincere brotherly love, (BC)love one another earnestly from a pure heart, 23 (BD)since you have been born again, (BE)not of perishable seed but of imperishable, through (BF)the living and abiding word of God; 24 for
(BG)“All flesh is like grass
and all its glory like the flower of grass.
The grass withers,
and the flower falls,
25 (BH)but the word of the Lord remains forever.”
And this word (BI)is the good news that was preached to you.
