1 Peter 1:1-9 ▼

1 Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, To the chosen sojourners of the Diaspora of Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,

2 according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, in the sanctification of the Spirit for obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: May grace and peace be multiplied to you?.

3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the One according to His great mercy having begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ out from the dead,

4 into an inheritance imperishable and undefiled and unfading, being kept in the heavens for you?,

5 who are being guarded in the power of God through faith for the salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

6 In this you? exult, presently for a little while if it is being necessary, having been grieved by various trials,

7 so that the proven genuineness of your? faith, more precious than gold, which is perishing though being proved by fire, may be found unto praise and glory and honor in the revelation of Jesus Christ,

8 whom, not having seen, you? love, in whom, presently not seeing yet believing, you? exult with joy inexpressible and filled with glory,

9 receiving the outcome of your? faith, the salvation of your souls.
