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.

Prefácio e saudação
1 Pedro, apóstolo de Jesus Cristo, aos estrangeiros dispersos no Ponto, Galácia, Capadócia, Ásia e Bitínia, 2 eleitos segundo a presciência de Deus Pai, em santificação do Espírito, para a obediência e aspersão do sangue de Jesus Cristo: graça e paz vos sejam multiplicadas.
Ação de graças pela esperança da salvação
3 Bendito seja o Deus e Pai de nosso Senhor Jesus Cristo, que, segundo a sua grande misericórdia, nos gerou de novo para uma viva esperança, pela ressurreição de Jesus Cristo dentre os mortos, 4 para uma herança incorruptível, incontaminável e que se não pode murchar, guardada nos céus para vós 5 que, mediante a fé, estais guardados na virtude de Deus, para a salvação já prestes para se revelar no último tempo, 6 em que vós grandemente vos alegrais, ainda que agora importa, sendo necessário, que estejais por um pouco contristados com várias tentações, 7 para que a prova da vossa fé, muito mais preciosa do que o ouro que perece e é provado pelo fogo, se ache em louvor, e honra, e glória na revelação de Jesus Cristo; 8 ao qual, não o havendo visto, amais; no qual, não o vendo agora, mas crendo, vos alegrais com gozo inefável e glorioso, 9 alcançando o fim da vossa fé, a salvação da alma.
10 Da qual salvação inquiriram e trataram diligentemente os profetas que profetizaram da graça que vos foi dada, 11 indagando que tempo ou que ocasião de tempo o Espírito de Cristo, que estava neles, indicava, anteriormente testificando os sofrimentos que a Cristo haviam de vir e a glória que se lhes havia de seguir. 12 Aos quais foi revelado que, não para si mesmos, mas para nós, eles ministravam estas coisas que, agora, vos foram anunciadas por aqueles que, pelo Espírito Santo enviado do céu, vos pregaram o evangelho, para as quais coisas os anjos desejam bem atentar.
Exortação à santidade
13 Portanto, cingindo os lombos do vosso entendimento, sede sóbrios e esperai inteiramente na graça que se vos ofereceu na revelação de Jesus Cristo, 14 como filhos obedientes, não vos conformando com as concupiscências que antes havia em vossa ignorância; 15 mas, como é santo aquele que vos chamou, sede vós também santos em toda a vossa maneira de viver, 16 porquanto escrito está: Sede santos, porque eu sou santo. 17 E, se invocais por Pai aquele que, sem acepção de pessoas, julga segundo a obra de cada um, andai em temor, durante o tempo da vossa peregrinação, 18 sabendo que não foi com coisas corruptíveis, como prata ou ouro, que fostes resgatados da vossa vã maneira de viver que, por tradição, recebestes dos vossos pais, 19 mas com o precioso sangue de Cristo, como de um cordeiro imaculado e incontaminado, 20 o qual, na verdade, em outro tempo, foi conhecido, ainda antes da fundação do mundo, mas manifestado, nestes últimos tempos, por amor de vós; 21 e por ele credes em Deus, que o ressuscitou dos mortos e lhe deu glória, para que a vossa fé e esperança estivessem em Deus.
22 Purificando a vossa alma na obediência à verdade, para amor fraternal, não fingido, amai-vos ardentemente uns aos outros, com um coração puro; 23 sendo de novo gerados, não de semente corruptível, mas da incorruptível, pela palavra de Deus, viva e que permanece para sempre. 24 Porque toda carne é como erva, e toda a glória do homem, como a flor da erva. Secou-se a erva, e caiu a sua flor; 25 mas a palavra do Senhor permanece para sempre. E esta é a palavra que entre vós foi evangelizada.
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.
