PeterG4074, an apostleG652 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547, to the strangersG3927 scatteredG1290 throughout PontusG4195, GalatiaG1053, CappadociaG2587, AsiaG773, andG2532 BithyniaG978,
ElectG1588 accordingG2596 to the foreknowledgeG4268 of GodG2316 the FatherG3962, throughG1722 sanctificationG38 of the SpiritG4151, untoG1519 obedienceG5218 andG2532 sprinklingG4473 of the bloodG129 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547: GraceG5485 unto youG5213, andG2532 peaceG1515, be multipliedG4129.
BlessedG2128 be the GodG2316 andG2532 FatherG3962 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, whichG3588 according toG2596 hisG846 abundantG4183 mercyG1656 hath begottenG313 usG2248 againG313 untoG1519 a livelyG2198 hopeG1680 byG1223 the resurrectionG386 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547 fromG1537 the deadG3498, {abundant: Gr. much}
ToG1519 an inheritanceG2817 incorruptibleG862, andG2532 undefiledG283, andG2532 that fadeth not awayG263, reservedG5083 inG1722 heavenG3772 forG1519 youG5209, {for you: or, for us}
WhoG3588 are keptG5432 byG1722 the powerG1411 of GodG2316 throughG1223 faithG4102 untoG1519 salvationG4991 readyG2092 to be revealedG601 inG1722 the lastG2078 timeG2540.
WhereinG1722+G3739 ye greatly rejoiceG21, though nowG737 for a seasonG3641, ifG1487 needG1163 beG2076, ye are in heavinessG3076 throughG1722 manifoldG4164 temptationsG3986:
ThatG2443 the trialG1383 of yourG5216 faithG4102, being muchG4183 more preciousG5093 than of goldG5553 that perishethG622, thoughG1223+G1161 it be triedG1381 with fireG4442, might be foundG2147 untoG1519 praiseG1868 andG2532 honourG5092 andG2532 gloryG1391 atG1722 the appearingG602 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547:
WhomG3739 havingG1492 notG3756 seenG1492, ye loveG25; inG1519 whomG3739, though nowG737 ye seeG3708 him notG3361, yetG1161 believingG4100, ye rejoiceG21 with joyG5479 unspeakableG412 andG2532 full of gloryG1392:
ReceivingG2865 the endG5056 of yourG5216 faithG4102, even the salvationG4991 of your soulsG5590.
OfG4012 whichG3739 salvationG4991 the prophetsG4396 have enquiredG1567 andG2532 searched diligentlyG1830, whoG3588 prophesiedG4395 ofG4012 the graceG5485 that should come untoG1519 youG5209:
SearchingG2045 whatG1519+G5101, orG2228 what mannerG4169 of timeG2540 the SpiritG4151 of ChristG5547 whichG3588 was inG1722 themG846 did signifyG1213, when it testified beforehandG4303 the sufferingsG3804 ofG1519 ChristG5547, andG2532 the gloryG1391 that should followG3326+G5023.
Unto whomG3739 it was revealedG601, thatG3754 notG3756 unto themselvesG1438, butG1161 unto usG2254 they did ministerG1247 the thingsG846, whichG3739 areG312 nowG3568 reportedG312 unto youG5213 byG1223 them that have preached the gospelG2097 unto youG5209 withG1722 the HolyG40 GhostG4151 sent downG649 fromG575 heavenG3772; which thingsG3739 the angelsG32 desireG1937 to lookG3879 intoG1519.
WhereforeG1352 gird upG328 the loinsG3751 of yourG5216 mindG1271, be soberG3525, and hopeG1679 to the endG5049 forG1909 the graceG5485 that is to be broughtG5342 unto youG5213 atG1722 the revelationG602 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547; {to the end: Gr. perfectly}
AsG5613 obedientG5218 childrenG5043, notG3361 fashioning yourselves according toG4964 the formerG4386 lustsG1939 inG1722 yourG5216 ignoranceG52:
ButG235 asG2596 he which hath calledG2564 youG5209 is holyG40, soG2532 beG1096 yeG846 holyG40 inG1722 allG3956 manner of conversationG391;
BecauseG1360 it is writtenG1125, Be yeG1096 holyG40; forG3754 IG1473 amG1510 holyG40.
AndG2532 ifG1487 ye call onG1941 the FatherG3962, whoG3588 without respect of personsG678 judgethG2919 according toG2596 every man'sG1538 workG2041, passG390 the timeG5550 of yourG5216 sojourningG3940 here inG1722 fearG5401:
Forasmuch as ye knowG1492 thatG3754 ye wereG3084 notG3756 redeemedG3084 with corruptible thingsG5349, as silverG694 andG2228 goldG5553, fromG1537 yourG5216 vainG3152 conversationG391 received by tradition from your fathersG3970;
ButG235 with the preciousG5093 bloodG129 of ChristG5547, asG5613 of a lambG286 without blemishG299 andG2532 without spotG784:
Who verilyG3303 was foreordainedG4267 beforeG4253 the foundationG2602 of the worldG2889, butG1161 was manifestG5319 inG1909 these lastG2078 timesG5550 forG1223 youG5209,
WhoG3588 byG1223 himG846 do believeG4100 inG1519 GodG2316, that raisedG1453 himG846 upG1453 fromG1537 the deadG3498, andG2532 gaveG1325 himG846 gloryG1391; thatG5620 yourG5216 faithG4102 andG2532 hopeG1680 might beG1511 inG1519 GodG2316.
Seeing ye have purifiedG48 yourG5216 soulsG5590 inG1722 obeyingG5218 the truthG225 throughG1223 the SpiritG4151 untoG1519 unfeignedG505 love of the brethrenG5360, see that ye loveG25 one anotherG240 withG1537 a pureG2513 heartG2588 ferventlyG1619:
Being born againG313, notG3756 ofG1537 corruptibleG5349 seedG4701, butG235 of incorruptibleG862, byG1223 the wordG3056 of GodG2316, which livethG2198 andG2532 abidethG3306 forG1519 everG165.
ForG1360 allG3956 fleshG4561 is asG5613 grassG5528, andG2532 allG3956 the gloryG1391 of manG444 asG5613 the flowerG438 of grassG5528. The grassG5528 witherethG3583, andG2532 the flowerG438 thereofG846 falleth awayG1601: {For: or, For that}
ButG1161 the wordG4487 of the LordG2962 endurethG3306 forG1519 everG165. AndG1161 thisG5124 isG2076 the wordG4487 whichG3588 by the gospel is preachedG2097 untoG1519 youG5209.
Querverweise zu 1. Petrus 1,3 1Pet 1,3
And he saidH559, BlessedH1288 be the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, which spakeH1696 with his mouthH6310 unto DavidH1732 my fatherH1, and hath with his handH3027 fulfilledH4390 it, sayingH559,
And the LORDH3068 passed byH5674 before himH6440, and proclaimedH7121, The LORDH3068, The LORDH3068 GodH410, mercifulH7349 and graciousH2587, longsufferingH750+H639, and abundantH7227 in goodnessH2617 and truthH571,
Being born againG313, notG3756 ofG1537 corruptibleG5349 seedG4701, butG235 of incorruptibleG862, byG1223 the wordG3056 of GodG2316, which livethG2198 andG2532 abidethG3306 forG1519 everG165.
The like figureG499 whereuntoG3739 even baptismG908 dothG4982 alsoG2532 nowG3568 saveG4982 usG2248 (notG3756 the putting awayG595 of the filthG4509 of the fleshG4561, butG235 the answerG1906 of a goodG18 conscienceG4893 towardG1519 GodG2316,) byG1223 the resurrectionG386 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547:
Wherefore DavidH1732 blessedH1288 the LORDH3068 beforeH5869 all the congregationH6951: and DavidH1732 saidH559, BlessedH1288 be thou, LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 our fatherH1, forH5704 everH5769 and everH5769.
Thine, O LORDH3068, is the greatnessH1420, and the powerH1369, and the gloryH8597, and the victoryH5331, and the majestyH1935: for all that is in the heavenH8064 and in the earthH776 is thine; thine is the kingdomH4467, O LORDH3068, and thou art exaltedH4984 as headH7218 above all.
Both richesH6239 and honourH3519 come of theeH6440, and thou reignestH4910 over all; and in thine handH3027 is powerH3581 and mightH1369; and in thine handH3027 it is to make greatH1431, and to give strengthH2388 unto all.
Now therefore, our GodH430, we thankH3034 thee, and praiseH1984 thy gloriousH8597 nameH8034.
For thou, LordH136, art goodH2896, and ready to forgiveH5546; and plenteousH7227 in mercyH2617 unto all them that callH7121 upon thee.
AsG5613 newbornG738 babesG1025, desireG1971 the sincereG97 milkG1051 of the wordG3050, thatG2443 ye may growG837 therebyG1722+G846:
AndG1161 hopeG1680 makethG2617 notG3756 ashamedG2617; becauseG3754 the loveG26 of GodG2316 is shed abroadG1632 inG1722 ourG2257 heartsG2588 byG1223 the HolyG40 GhostG4151 whichG3588 is givenG1325 unto usG2254.
Thy deadH4191 men shall liveH2421, together with my dead bodyH5038 shall they ariseH6965. AwakeH6974 and singH7442, ye that dwellH7931 in dustH6083: for thy dewH2919 is as the dewH2919 of herbsH219, and the earthH776 shall cast outH5307 the deadH7496.
And DavidH1732 saidH559 to all the congregationH6951, Now blessH1288 the LORDH3068 your GodH430. And all the congregationH6951 blessedH1288 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of their fathersH1, and bowed down their headsH6915, and worshippedH7812 the LORDH3068, and the kingH4428.
But thou, O LordH136, art a GodH410 full of compassionH7349, and graciousH2587, longsufferingH750+H639, and plenteousH7227 in mercyH2617 and truthH571.
WhichG3739 were bornG1080, notG3756 ofG1537 bloodG129, norG3761 ofG1537 the willG2307 of the fleshG4561, norG3761 ofG1537 the willG2307 of manG435, butG235 ofG1537 GodG2316.
ForG1063 we are savedG4982 by hopeG1680: butG1161 hopeG1680 that is seenG991 isG2076 notG3756 hopeG1680: forG1063 whatG3739 a manG5100 seethG991, whyG5101 doth heG1679 yetG2532 hope forG1679?
WhoG3739 was deliveredG3860 forG1223 ourG2257 offencesG3900, andG2532 was raised againG1453 forG1223 ourG2257 justificationG1347.
BlessedH1288 be the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 from everlastingH5769, and to everlastingH5769. AmenH543, and AmenH543.
And he prayedH6419 unto the LORDH3068, and saidH559, I prayH577 thee, O LORDH3068, was not this my sayingH1697, when I was yet in my countryH127? Therefore I fledH1272 beforeH6923 unto TarshishH8659: for I knewH3045 that thou art a graciousH2587 GodH410, and mercifulH7349, slowH750 to angerH639, and of greatH7227 kindnessH2617, and repentestH5162 thee of the evilH7451.
JesusG2424 answeredG611 andG2532 saidG2036 unto himG846, VerilyG281, verilyG281, I sayG3004 unto theeG4671, ExceptG3362 a manG5100 be bornG1080 againG509, he cannotG1410+G3756 seeG1492 the kingdomG932 of GodG2316. {again: or, from above}
NicodemusG3530 saithG3004 untoG4314 himG846, HowG4459 canG1410 a manG444 be bornG1080 when he isG5607 oldG1088? canG3361+G1410 he enterG1525 the second timeG1208 intoG1519 hisG846 mother'sG3384 wombG2836, andG2532 be bornG1080?
JesusG2424 answeredG611, VerilyG281, verilyG281, I sayG3004 unto theeG4671, ExceptG3362 a manG5100 be bornG1080 ofG1537 waterG5204 andG2532 of the SpiritG4151, he cannotG3756+G1410 enterG1525 intoG1519 the kingdomG932 of GodG2316.
That which is bornG1080 ofG1537 the fleshG4561 isG2076 fleshG4561; andG2532 that which is bornG1080 ofG1537 the SpiritG4151 isG2076 spiritG4151.
MarvelG2296 notG3361 thatG3754 I saidG2036 unto theeG4671, YeG5209 mustG1163 be bornG1080 againG509. {again: or, from above}
The windG4151 blowethG4154 whereG3699 it listethG2309, andG2532 thou hearestG191 the soundG5456 thereofG846, butG235 canstG1492 notG3756 tellG1492 whenceG4159 it comethG2064, andG2532 whitherG4226 it goethG5217: soG3779 isG2076 every oneG3956 that is bornG1080 ofG1537 the SpiritG4151.
RejoicingG5463 in hopeG1680; patientG5278 in tribulationG2347; continuing instantG4342 in prayerG4335;
ForG1063 ifG1487, when we wereG5607 enemiesG2190, we were reconciledG2644 to GodG2316 byG1223 the deathG2288 of hisG846 SonG5207, muchG4183 moreG3123, being reconciledG2644, we shall be savedG4982 byG1722 hisG846 lifeG2222.
BlessedH1288 be the LORDH3068 GodH430, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, who only doethH6213 wondrous thingsH6381.
ButG235 notG3756 asG5613 the offenceG3900, soG3779 alsoG2532 is the free giftG5486. ForG1063 ifG1487 through the offenceG3900 of oneG1520 manyG4183 be deadG599, muchG4183 moreG3123 the graceG5485 of GodG2316, andG2532 the giftG1431 byG1722 graceG5485, which isG3588 by oneG1520 manG444, JesusG2424 ChristG5547, hath aboundedG4052 untoG1519 manyG4183.
AndG2532 notG3756 asG5613 it was byG1223 oneG1520 that sinnedG264, so is the giftG1434: forG1063+G3303 the judgmentG2917 was byG1537 oneG1520 toG1519 condemnationG2631, butG1161 the free giftG5486 is ofG1537 manyG4183 offencesG3900 untoG1519 justificationG1345.
ForG1063 ifG1487 by one man'sG1520 offenceG3900 deathG2288 reignedG936 byG1223 oneG1520; muchG4183 moreG3123 they which receiveG2983 abundanceG4050 of graceG5485 andG2532 of the giftG1431 of righteousnessG1343 shall reignG936 inG1722 lifeG2222 byG1223 oneG1520, JesusG2424 ChristG5547.) {by one man's…: or, by one offence}
ThereforeG686+G3767 asG5613 byG1223 the offenceG3900 of oneG1520 judgment came uponG1519 allG3956 menG444 toG1519 condemnationG2631; evenG2532 soG3779 byG1223 the righteousnessG1345 of oneG1520 the free gift came uponG1519 allG3956 menG444 untoG1519 justificationG1347 of lifeG2222. {by the offence…: or, by one offence} {by the righteousness…: or, by one righteousness}
ForG1063 asG5618 byG1223 oneG1520 man'sG444 disobedienceG3876 manyG4183 were madeG2525 sinnersG268, soG3779+G2532 byG1223 the obedienceG5218 of oneG1520 shallG2525 manyG4183 be madeG2525 righteousG1342.
MoreoverG1161 the lawG3551 enteredG3922, thatG2443 the offenceG3900 might aboundG4121. ButG1161 whereG3757 sinG266 aboundedG4121, graceG5485 did much more aboundG5248:
ThatG2443 asG5618 sinG266 hath reignedG936 untoG1722 deathG2288, evenG2532 soG3779 mightG936 graceG5485 reignG936 throughG1223 righteousnessG1343 untoG1519 eternalG166 lifeG2222 byG1223 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 ourG2257 LordG2962.
Of his own willG1014 begat heG616 usG2248 with the wordG3056 of truthG225, thatG1519 weG2248 should beG1511 a kindG5100 of firstfruitsG536 of hisG846 creaturesG2938.
NowG1161 the GodG2316 of hopeG1680 fillG4137 youG5209 with allG3956 joyG5479 andG2532 peaceG1515 inG1722 believingG4100, thatG1519 yeG5209 may aboundG4052 inG1722 hopeG1680, throughG1722 the powerG1411 of the HolyG40 GhostG4151.
ButG1161 ifG1487 the SpiritG4151 of him that raised upG1453 JesusG2424 fromG1537 the deadG3498 dwellG3611 inG1722 youG5213, he that raised upG1453 ChristG5547 fromG1537 the deadG3498 shallG2227 alsoG2532 quickenG2227 yourG5216 mortalG2349 bodiesG4983 byG1223 hisG846 SpiritG4151 that dwellethG1774 inG1722 youG5213. {by: or, because of}
And blessedH1288 be his gloriousH3519 nameH8034 for everH5769: and let the whole earthH776 be filledH4390 with his gloryH3519; AmenH543, and AmenH543.
InG1722 whomG3739 we haveG2192 redemptionG629 throughG1223 hisG846 bloodG129, the forgivenessG859 of sinsG3900, accordingG2596 to the richesG4149 of hisG846 graceG5485;
IfG1437 ye knowG1492 thatG3754 he isG2076 righteousG1342, ye knowG1097 thatG3754 every oneG3956 that doethG4160 righteousnessG1343 is bornG1080 ofG1537 himG846. {ye know that every: or, know ye…}
AndG1161 nowG3570 abidethG3306 faithG4102, hopeG1680, charityG26, theseG5023 threeG5140; butG1161 the greatestG3187 of theseG5130 is charityG26.
ButG1161 nowG3570 isG1453 ChristG5547 risenG1453 fromG1537 the deadG3498, and becomeG1096 the firstfruitsG536 of them that sleptG2837.
BlessedG2128 be GodG2316, evenG2532 the FatherG3962 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, the FatherG3962 of merciesG3628, andG2532 the GodG2316 of allG3956 comfortG3874;
ButG1161 GodG2316, who isG5607 richG4145 inG1722 mercyG1656, forG1223 hisG846 greatG4183 loveG26 wherewithG3739 he lovedG25 usG2248,
WhosoeverG3956 is bornG1080 ofG1537 GodG2316 dothG4160 notG3756 commit sinG266; forG3754 hisG846 seedG4690 remainethG3306 inG1722 himG846: andG2532 he cannotG3756+G1410 sinG264, becauseG3754 he is bornG1080 ofG1537 GodG2316.
IfG1489 ye continueG1961 in the faithG4102 groundedG2311 andG2532 settledG1476, andG2532 be notG3361 moved awayG3334 fromG575 the hopeG1680 of the gospelG2098, whichG3739 ye have heardG191, and whichG3588 was preachedG2784 toG1722 everyG3956 creatureG2937 which is underG5259 heavenG3772; whereofG3739 IG1473 PaulG3972 am madeG1096 a ministerG1249;
AndG2532 hath raised us up togetherG4891, andG2532 made us sit togetherG4776 inG1722 heavenlyG2032 places inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424:
BlessedG2128 be the GodG2316 andG2532 FatherG3962 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, whoG3588 hath blessedG2127 usG2248 withG1722 allG3956 spiritualG4152 blessingsG2129 inG1722 heavenlyG2032 places inG1722 ChristG5547: {places: or, things}
ThatG2443 inG1722 the agesG165 to comeG1904 he might shewG1731 the exceedingG5235 richesG4149 of hisG846 graceG5485 inG1722 his kindnessG5544 towardG1909 usG2248 throughG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424.
ForG1063 by graceG5485 are yeG2075 savedG4982 throughG1223 faithG4102; andG2532 thatG5124 notG3756 ofG1537 yourselvesG5216: it is the giftG1435 of GodG2316:
NotG3756 ofG1537 worksG2041, lestG3363 any manG5100 should boastG2744.
ForG1063 we areG2070 hisG846 workmanshipG4161, createdG2936 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424 untoG1909 goodG18 worksG2041, whichG3739 GodG2316 hath before ordainedG4282 thatG2443 we should walkG4043 inG1722 themG846. {ordained: or, prepared}
BelovedG27, let us loveG25 one anotherG240: forG3754 loveG26 isG2076 ofG1537 GodG2316; andG2532 every oneG3956 that lovethG25 is bornG1080 ofG1537 GodG2316, andG2532 knowethG1097 GodG2316.
To whomG3739 GodG2316 wouldG2309 make knownG1107 whatG5101 is the richesG4149 of the gloryG1391 of thisG5127 mysteryG3466 amongG1722 the GentilesG1484; whichG3739 isG2076 ChristG5547 inG1722 youG5213, the hopeG1680 of gloryG1391: {in: or, among}
ButG1161 I wouldG2309 notG3756 haveG2309 youG5209 to be ignorantG50, brethrenG80, concerningG4012 them which are asleepG2837, thatG3363 ye sorrowG3076 notG3363, evenG2532 asG2531 othersG3062 whichG3588 haveG2192 noG3361 hopeG1680.
ThatG2443 the GodG2316 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, the FatherG3962 of gloryG1391, may giveG1325 unto youG5213 the spiritG4151 of wisdomG4678 andG2532 revelationG602 inG1722 the knowledgeG1922 of himG846: {in…: or, for the acknowledgement}
AndG1161 the graceG5485 of ourG2257 LordG2962 was exceeding abundantG5250 withG3326 faithG4102 andG2532 loveG26 whichG3588 is inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424.
WhosoeverG3956 believethG4100 thatG3754 JesusG2424 isG2076 the ChristG5547 is bornG1080 ofG1537 GodG2316: andG2532 every oneG3956 that lovethG25 him that begatG1080 lovethG25 him alsoG2532 that is begottenG1080 ofG1537 himG846.
RememberingG3421 without ceasingG89 yourG5216 workG2041 of faithG4102, andG2532 labourG2873 of loveG26, andG2532 patienceG5281 of hopeG1680 in ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, in the sightG1715 of GodG2316 andG2532 ourG2257 FatherG3962;
NowG1161 unto him that is ableG1410 to doG4160 exceedingG5228 abundantlyG1537+G4053 aboveG5228 allG3956 thatG3739 we askG154 orG2228 thinkG3539, according toG2596 the powerG1411 that workethG1754 inG1722 usG2254,
ButG1161 afterG3753 that the kindnessG5544 andG2532 loveG5363 of GodG2316 ourG2257 SaviourG4990 toward manG5363 appearedG2014, {love: or, pity}
NotG3756 byG1537 worksG2041 ofG1722 righteousnessG1343 whichG3739 weG2249 have doneG4160, butG235 according toG2596 hisG846 mercyG1656 he savedG4982 usG2248, byG1223 the washingG3067 of regenerationG3824, andG2532 renewingG342 of the HolyG40 GhostG4151;
WhichG3739 he shedG1632 onG1909 usG2248 abundantlyG4146 throughG1223 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 ourG2257 SaviourG4990; {abundantly: Gr. richly}
ForG3754 whatsoeverG3956 is bornG1080 ofG1537 GodG2316 overcomethG3528 the worldG2889: andG2532 thisG3778 isG2076 the victoryG3529 that overcomethG3528 the worldG2889, even ourG2257 faithG4102.
Looking forG4327 that blessedG3107 hopeG1680, andG2532 the gloriousG1391 appearingG2015 of the greatG3173 GodG2316 andG2532 ourG2257 SaviourG4990 JesusG2424 ChristG5547; {glorious…: Gr. the appearance of the glory of the great God, and of our Saviour Jesus Christ}
We knowG1492 thatG3754 whosoeverG3956 is bornG1080 ofG1537 GodG2316 sinnethG264 notG3756; butG235 he that is begottenG1080 ofG1537 GodG2316 keepethG5083 himselfG1438, andG2532 that wicked oneG4190 touchethG680 himG846 notG3756.
ButG1161 ChristG5547 asG5613 a sonG5207 overG1909 his ownG846 houseG3624; whoseG3739 houseG3624 areG2070 weG2249, ifG1437+G4007 we hold fastG2722 the confidenceG3954 andG2532 the rejoicingG2745 of the hopeG1680 firmG949 untoG3360 the endG5056.
ThatG2443 byG1223 twoG1417 immutableG276 thingsG4229, inG1722 whichG3739 it was impossibleG102 for GodG2316 to lieG5574, we might haveG2192 a strongG2478 consolationG3874, whoG3588 have fled for refugeG2703 to lay holdG2902 upon the hopeG1680 set before usG4295:
