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.

La Palabra (España)
Saludo
1 Pedro, apóstol de Jesucristo, a los elegidos que viven como extranjeros dispersos por el Ponto, Galacia, Capadocia, Asia y Bitinia. 2 A vosotros, objeto del designio amoroso de Dios Padre y consagrados por medio del Espíritu para que obedezcáis a Jesucristo y seáis purificados con su sangre, os deseo gracia y paz en abundancia.
I.— UNA HERENCIA RESERVADA EN LOS CIELOS (1,3-12)
Viviendo en esperanza
3 Bendito sea Dios, Padre de nuestro Señor Jesucristo que, por su inmenso amor y mediante la resurrección de Jesucristo triunfante de la muerte, nos ha hecho renacer a una esperanza viviente, 4 a una herencia incorruptible, inmaculada e imperecedera. Una herencia reservada en los cielos para vosotros 5 a quienes el poder de Dios asegura, mediante la fe, la salvación que ha de revelarse en el momento final. 6 Por eso vivís alegres, aunque por un poco tiempo todavía sea necesario que soportéis la aflicción de múltiples pruebas. 7 Claro que así la autenticidad de vuestra fe —de más valor que el oro, que no deja de ser caduco aunque sea acrisolado por el fuego— será motivo de alabanza, de gloria y de honor, cuando se manifieste Jesucristo, 8 a quien amáis y en quien confiáis aun sin haberlo visto. Os alegraréis, con un gozo inenarrable y radiante, 9 al recibir la salvación, meta de vuestra fe.
Una salvación anunciada
10 Acerca de esta salvación indagaron e investigaron los profetas cuando anunciaban los bienes que Dios os tenía destinados. 11 Pretendían así averiguar a qué persona y a qué tiempo se refería el Espíritu de Cristo, que alentaba en ellos, cuando anunciaba de antemano lo que Cristo había de sufrir y la gloria que seguiría a tales sufrimientos. 12 Y se les reveló que lo que ahora os anuncian quienes os proclaman el mensaje evangélico con la fuerza del Espíritu Santo enviado desde el cielo, lo llevan a cabo no en su provecho, sino en el vuestro. Anuncio este que los mismos ángeles están deseando contemplar.
II.— UN NUEVO ESTILO DE VIDA (1,13—2,18)
Llamados a una vida nueva
13 Tened, pues, a punto vuestra mente; no os dejéis seducir y poned toda vuestra esperanza en el don que os traerá la manifestación de Jesucristo. 14 Como hijos obedientes, no sometáis vuestra vida a las apetencias de antaño, cuando aún vivíais en la ignorancia. 15 Por el contrario, comportaos en todo santamente, como santo es el que os llamó. 16 Pues así lo dice la Escritura: Sed santos, porque yo soy santo.
17 Y, si llamáis Padre al que juzga a todos sin favoritismos y según su conducta, comportaos fielmente mientras vivís en tierra extraña. 18 Debéis saber que habéis sido liberados de la estéril situación heredada de vuestros mayores, no con bienes caducos como son el oro y la plata, 19 sino con la sangre preciosa de Cristo, cordero sin mancha y sin tacha 20 que, existiendo desde antes de la creación del mundo, se ha manifestado al final de los tiempos para vuestro bien. 21 Gracias a él, creéis en Dios, que lo resucitó triunfante de la muerte y lo llenó de gloria para que de esta manera vuestra fe y vuestra esperanza descansen en Dios.
Invitación al amor fraterno
22 Obedientes a la verdad, habéis eliminado cuanto impide una auténtica fraternidad. Amaos, pues, intensa y entrañablemente unos a otros 23 ya que habéis nacido de nuevo, no de un germen mortal, sino de uno inmortal, mediante la palabra de Dios viva y permanente. 24 Porque está escrito:
 Todo mortal es como hierba;
 toda su hermosura como flor de hierba.
 Se agosta la hierba y cae la flor.
25 Pero la palabra de Dios perdura para siempre.
Y esta es la palabra que os ha sido anunciada como buena noticia.
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 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.

彼 得 前 書 1
Chinese New Testament: Easy-to-Read Version
1 我,彼得,耶稣基督的一名使徒,
写信给远离故乡的上帝的选民-他们散居在本都、加拉太、加帕多家、亚西亚和庇推尼地区。 2 父上帝根据先见,通过圣灵的净化,挑选你们服从上帝,并把耶稣基督的血洒在你们身上使你们得以洁净。愿上帝赐予你们丰富的恩典与和平。
活生生的希望
3 赞美上帝,我们的主耶稣基督之父。在他丰富的怜悯里,通过耶稣基督从死里复活让我们重生,为的是给我们带来活生生的希望, 4 好让我们继承那不朽、无瑕和永不褪色的产业,这产业在天堂里为你们保存着。 5 通过信仰,你们受到上帝的力量的保佑,直到拯救的来临。这拯救已准备好,要在末日之际揭示给你们。 6 为此,你们应该感到快乐,尽管目前暂时会有各种困难使你们悲伤。 7 这些困难的出现是要证实你们的信仰是真实的。这信仰比黄金还要贵重,即使是经过火炼的金子也会毁坏。你们信仰将在耶稣基督出现(来临)时,给你们带来赞美、荣誉和荣耀。 8 虽然你们没有见过耶稣,但是,你们依然爱戴他,虽然你们现在看不见他,但是,你们却依然信仰他,并且充满了无法言喻的荣耀的喜悦, 9 你们正在领受着你们的信仰的结果,既是你们的拯救。
10 关于这拯救,先知曾进行了仔细的研究和探求,并预言过将要向你们展现的恩典。 11 基督之灵在这些先知之中,这灵预言到基督将遭受到苦难,和在这之后将要来临的荣耀。他们努力探索着灵向他们展示的一切,尽力去了解那些事情何时发生,以及在那时刻,这个世界会是什么样的情景。 12 先知们得知,他们不是在为自己工作,而是在为你们工作着。当他们告诉你们那些事情,即你们已听到的事情的时候,他们正在为你们服务。向你们宣传福音的人,在天堂派遣来的圣灵的帮助下,告诉了你们这些事情,甚至是天使也渴望要了解这些事。
圣洁生活的召唤
13 所以,你们在心理上要警觉,要清醒自持,要把你们的希望完全寄托在耶稣显现时所要赐给你们的恩典上。 14 要像顺从的孩子,不要再像过去你们愚昧无知时那样让自己的生活顺从邪恶的欲望。 15 相反,正如召唤你们的上帝是圣洁的那样,你们也应该在你们所做的一切事情上是圣洁的。 16 所以,《经》上说∶“你们要圣洁,因为我是圣洁的。”
17 既然你们称公平的、按照各人的行为审判的上帝为父,那么你们寄居在地上期间,就应该怀着对上帝的敬畏生活。 18 你们知道,你们过去从你们的祖辈那里继承下来的那种生活方式毫无价值。你们已从这种生活中被拯救出来,用的不是金银之类会毁坏的东西, 19 而是用基督宝贵的血-尤如完美无瑕的羔羊之血。 20 在创世之前,基督已被选定。但是,因为你们的缘故,在这些最后的日子里他才被人们所知晓。 21 通过耶稣,你们成为让他从死里复活并赐给他荣耀的上帝的信仰者。因此,你们的信仰和希望寄托在上帝身上。
22 通过服从真理,你们得到净化,以便你们对兄弟姐妹能够有真挚的爱,从心里彼此热爱。 23 你们已经重生,这新的生命不是来自于会死的种子,而是来自于不会死的种子。你们是通过上帝的永生信息得以重生的。 24 正如《经》上所说的那样:
“人如草,
他们所有的荣耀就如草中的野花,
草枯花则谢。
25 主的信息却永存。” (A)
这就是向你们传讲的信息。
