1 Peter 1

The Message Bible MSG

1 I, Peter, am an apostle on assignment by Jesus, the Messiah, writing to exiles scattered to the four winds. Not one is missing, not one forgotten.

2 God the Father has his eye on each of you, and has determined by the work of the Spirit to keep you obedient through the sacrifice of Jesus. May everything good from God be yours!

3 What a God we have! And how fortunate we are to have him, this Father of our Master Jesus! Because Jesus was raised from the dead, we've been given a brand-new life and have everything to live for,

4 including a future in heaven - and the future starts now!

5 God is keeping careful watch over us and the future. The Day is coming when you'll have it all - life healed and whole.

6 I know how great this makes you feel, even though you have to put up with every kind of aggravation in the meantime.

7 Pure gold put in the fire comes out of it proved pure; genuine faith put through this suffering comes out proved genuine. When Jesus wraps this all up, it's your faith, not your gold, that God will have on display as evidence of his victory.

8 You never saw him, yet you love him. You still don't see him, yet you trust him - with laughter and singing.

9 Because you kept on believing, you'll get what you're looking forward to: total salvation.

10 The prophets who told us this was coming asked a lot of questions about this gift of life God was preparing.

11 The Messiah's Spirit let them in on some of it - that the Messiah would experience suffering, followed by glory. They clamored to know who and when.

12 All they were told was that they were serving you, you who by orders from heaven have now heard for yourselves - through the Holy Spirit - the Message of those prophecies fulfilled. Do you realize how fortunate you are? Angels would have given anything to be in on this!

13 So roll up your sleeves, put your mind in gear, be totally ready to receive the gift that's coming when Jesus arrives.

14 Don't lazily slip back into those old grooves of evil, doing just what you feel like doing. You didn't know any better then; you do now.

15 As obedient children, let yourselves be pulled into a way of life shaped by God's life, a life energetic and blazing with holiness.

16 God said, "I am holy; you be holy."

17 You call out to God for help and he helps - he's a good Father that way. But don't forget, he's also a responsible Father, and won't let you get by with sloppy living.

18 It cost God plenty to get you out of that dead-end, empty-headed life you grew up in.

19 He paid with Christ's sacred blood, you know. He died like an unblemished, sacrificial lamb.

20 And this was no afterthought. Even though it has only lately - at the end of the ages - become public knowledge, God always knew he was going to do this for you.

21 It's because of this sacrificed Messiah, whom God then raised from the dead and glorified, that you trust God, that you know you have a future in God.

22 Now that you've cleaned up your lives by following the truth, love one another as if your lives depended on it.

23 Your new life is not like your old life. Your old birth came from mortal sperm; your new birth comes from God's living Word. Just think: a life conceived by God himself!

24 That's why the prophet said, The old life is a grass life, its beauty as short-lived as wildflowers; Grass dries up, flowers droop,

25 God's Word goes on and on forever. This is the Word that conceived the new life in you.

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 Petrus apostolus Iesu Christi electis advenis dispersionis Ponti Galatiae Cappadociae Asiae et Bithyniae

2 secundum praescientiam Dei Patris in sanctificatione Spiritus in oboedientiam et aspersionem sanguinis Iesu Christi gratia vobis et pax multiplicetur

3 benedictus Deus et Pater Domini nostri Iesu Christi qui secundum magnam misericordiam suam regeneravit nos in spem vivam per resurrectionem Iesu Christi ex mortuis

4 in hereditatem incorruptibilem et incontaminatam et inmarcescibilem conservatam in caelis in vobis

5 qui in virtute Dei custodimini per fidem in salutem paratam revelari in tempore novissimo

6 in quo exultatis modicum nunc si oportet contristati in variis temptationibus

7 ut probatum vestrae fidei multo pretiosius sit auro quod perit per ignem probato inveniatur in laudem et gloriam et honorem in revelatione Iesu Christi

8 quem cum non videritis diligitis in quem nunc quoque non videntes credentes autem exultatis laetitia inenarrabili et glorificata

9 reportantes finem fidei vestrae salutem animarum

10 de qua salute exquisierunt atque scrutati sunt prophetae qui de futura in vobis gratia prophetaverunt

11 scrutantes in quod vel quale tempus significaret in eis Spiritus Christi praenuntians eas quae in Christo sunt passiones et posteriores glorias

12 quibus revelatum est quia non sibi ipsis vobis autem ministrabant ea quae nunc nuntiata sunt vobis per eos qui evangelizaverunt vos Spiritu Sancto misso de caelo in quae desiderant angeli prospicere

13 propter quod succincti lumbos mentis vestrae sobrii perfecte sperate in eam quae offertur vobis gratiam in revelatione Iesu Christi

14 quasi filii oboedientiae non configurati prioribus ignorantiae vestrae desideriis

15 sed secundum eum qui vocavit vos sanctum et ipsi sancti in omni conversatione sitis

16 quoniam scriptum est sancti eritis quia ego sanctus sum

17 et si Patrem invocatis eum qui sine acceptione personarum iudicat secundum uniuscuiusque opus in timore incolatus vestri tempore conversamini

18 scientes quod non corruptibilibus argento vel auro redempti estis de vana vestra conversatione paternae traditionis

19 sed pretioso sanguine quasi agni incontaminati et inmaculati Christi

20 praecogniti quidem ante constitutionem mundi manifestati autem novissimis temporibus propter vos

21 qui per ipsum fideles estis in Deo qui suscitavit eum a mortuis et dedit ei gloriam ut fides vestra et spes esset in Deo

22 animas vestras castificantes in oboedientia caritatis in fraternitatis amore simplici ex corde invicem diligite adtentius

23 renati non ex semine corruptibili sed incorruptibili per verbum Dei vivi et permanentis

24 quia omnis caro ut faenum et omnis gloria eius tamquam flos faeni exaruit faenum et flos decidit

25 verbum autem Domini manet in aeternum hoc est autem verbum quod evangelizatum est in vos
