Weymouth + + + + +Book 60 1 Peter + +001:001 Peter, an Apostle of Jesus Christ: To God's own people + scattered over the earth, who are living as foreigners + in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Roman Asia, and Bithynia, + +001:002 chosen in accordance with the foreknowledge of God the Father, + through the sanctifying work of the Spirit, with a view + to their obedience and to their being sprinkled with the blood + of Jesus Christ. May more and more grace and peace be + granted to you. + +001:003 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, + who in His great mercy has begotten us anew to an ever-living + hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, + +001:004 to an inheritance imperishable, undefiled and unfading, + which has been reserved in Heaven for you, + +001:005 whom God in His power is guarding through faith for a salvation + that even now stands ready for unveiling at the End of the Age. + +001:006 Rejoice triumphantly in the prospect of this, even if now, + for a short time, you are compelled to sorrow amid various trials. + +001:007 The sorrow comes in order that the testing of your faith-- + being more precious than that of gold, which perishes and yet + is proved by fire--may be found to result in praise and glory + and honour at the re-appearing of Jesus Christ. + +001:008 Him you love, though your eyes have never looked on Him. + In Him, though at present you cannot see Him, you nevertheless + trust, and triumph with a joy which is unspeakable and is + crowned with glory, + +001:009 while you are securing as the outcome of your faith the salvation + of your souls. + +001:010 There were Prophets who earnestly inquired about that salvation, + and closely searched into it--even those who spoke beforehand + of the grace which was to come to you. + +001:011 They were eager to know the time which the Spirit of Christ within + them kept indicating, or the characteristics of that time, + when they solemnly made known beforehand the sufferings that + were to come upon Christ and the glories which would follow. + +001:012 To them it was revealed that they were serving not themselves but you, + when they foretold the very things which have now been openly + declared to you by those who, having been taught by the Holy Spirit + which had been sent from Heaven, brought you the Good News. + Angels long to stoop and look into these things. + +001:013 Therefore gird up your minds and fix your hopes calmly + and unfalteringly upon the boon that is soon to be yours, + at the re-appearing of Jesus Christ. + +001:014 And, since you delight in obedience, do not shape your lives + by the cravings which used to dominate you in the time + of your ignorance, + +001:015 but--in imitation of the holy One who has called you-- + you also must be holy in all your habits of life. + +001:016 Because it stands written, "You are to be holy, because I am holy." + +001:017 And if you address as your Father Him who judges impartially + in accordance with each man's actions, then spend in fear + the time of your stay here on earth, + +001:018 knowing, as you do, that it was not with a ransom of + perishable wealth, such as silver or gold, that you were set + free from your frivolous habits of life which had been handed + down to you from your forefathers, + +001:019 but with the precious blood of Christ--as of an unblemished + and spotless lamb. + +001:020 He was pre-destined indeed to this work, even before the creation + of the world, but has been plainly manifested in these last + days for the sake of you who, through Him, + +001:021 are faithful to God, who raised Him from among the dead and gave + Him glory, so that your faith and hope are resting upon God. + +001:022 Now that, through your obedience to the truth, you have + purified your souls for cherishing sincere brotherly love, + you must love another heartily and fervently. + +001:023 For you have been begotten again by God's ever-living and enduring + word from a germ not of perishable, but of imperishable life. + +001:024 "All mankind resemble the herbage, and all their beauty is like + its flowers. The herbage dries up, and its flowers drop off; + +001:025 But the word of the Lord remains for ever." And that means + the Message which has been proclaimed among you in the Good News. + +002:001 Rid yourselves therefore of all ill-will and all deceitfulness, + of insincerity and envy, and of all evil speaking. + +002:002 Thirst, like newly-born infants, for pure milk for the soul, + that by it you may grow up to salvation; + +002:003 if you have had any experience of the goodness of the Lord. + +002:004 Come to Him, the ever-living Stone, rejected indeed by men + as worthless, but in God's esteem chosen and held in honour. + +002:005 And be yourselves also like living stones that are being built + up into a spiritual house, to become a holy priesthood to offer + spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. + +002:006 For it is contained in Scripture, "See, I am placing on Mount Zion + a Cornerstone, chosen, and held in honour, and he whose faith + rests on Him shall never have reason to feel ashamed." + +002:007 To you believers, therefore, that honour belongs; but for + unbelievers--"A Stone which the builders rejected has been + made the Cornerstone," + +002:008 and "a Stone for the foot to strike against, and a Rock to + stumble over." Their foot strikes against it because they are + disobedient to God's Message, and to this they were appointed. + +002:009 But you are a chosen race, a priesthood of kingly lineage, + a holy nation, a people belonging specially to God, + that you may make known the perfections of Him who called + you out of darkness into His marvellous light. + +002:010 Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God. + Once you had not found mercy, but now you have. + +002:011 Dear friends, I entreat you as pilgrims and foreigners + not to indulge the cravings of your lower natures: + for all such cravings wage war upon the soul. + +002:012 Live honourable lives among the Gentiles, in order that, + although they now speak against you as evil-doers, they may + yet witness your good conduct, and may glorify God on the day + of reward and retribution. + +002:013 Submit, for the Lord's sake, to every authority set up by man, + whether it be to the Emperor as supreme ruler, + +002:014 or to provincial Governors as sent by him for the punishment + of evil-doers and the encouragement of those who do what is right. + +002:015 For it is God's will that by doing what is right you should + thus silence the ignorant talk of foolish persons. + +002:016 Be free men, and yet do not make your freedom an excuse + for base conduct, but be God's bondservants. + +002:017 Honour every one. Love the brotherhood, fear God, + honour the Emperor. + +002:018 Household servants, be submissive to your masters, and show them + the utmost respect--not only if they are kind and thoughtful, + but also if they are unreasonable. + +002:019 For it is an acceptable thing with God, if, from a sense of duty + to Him, a man patiently submits to wrong, when treated unjustly. + +002:020 If you do wrong and receive a blow for it, what credit is there + in your bearing it patiently? But if when you do right and + suffer for it you bear it patiently, this is an acceptable + thing with God. + +002:021 And it is to this you were called; because Christ also suffered + on your behalf, leaving you an example so that you should + follow in His steps. + +002:022 He never sinned, and no deceitful language was ever heard + from His mouth. + +002:023 When He was reviled, He did not answer with reviling; + when He suffered He uttered no threats, but left His wrongs + in the hands of the righteous Judge. + +002:024 The burden of our sins He Himself carried in His own body + to the Cross and bore it there, so that we, having died + so far as our sins are concerned, may live righteous lives. + By His wounds yours have been healed. + +002:025 For you were straying like lost sheep, but now you have come + back to the Shepherd and Protector of your souls. + +003:001 Married women, in the same way, be submissive to your husbands, + so that even if some of them disbelieve the Message, they may, + apart from the Message, be won over by the daily life + of their wives, after watching your daily life-- + +003:002 so full of reverence, and so blameless! + +003:003 Your adornment ought not to be a merely outward thing--one of plaiting + the hair, putting on jewelry, or wearing beautiful dresses. + +003:004 Instead of that, it should be a new nature within-- + the imperishable ornament of a gentle and peaceful spirit, + which is indeed precious in the sight of God. + +003:005 For in ancient times also this was the way the holy women + who set their hopes upon God used to adorn themselves, + being submissive to their husbands. + +003:006 Thus, for instance, Sarah obeyed Abraham, acknowledging his + authority over her. And you have become Sarah's children if you + do what is right and permit nothing whatever to terrify you. + +003:007 Married men, in the same way, live with your wives with a clear + recognition of the fact that they are weaker than you. + Yet, since you are heirs with them of God's free gift of Life, + treat them with honour; so that your prayers may not be hindered. + +003:008 In conclusion, all of you should be of one mind, quick to sympathize, + kind to the brethren, tenderhearted, lowly-minded, + +003:009 not requiting evil with evil nor abuse with abuse, but, + on the contrary, giving a blessing in return, because a blessing + is what you have been called by God to inherit. + +003:010 For "He who wishes to be well-satisfied with life and see + happy days--let him restrain his tongue from evil, and his + lips from deceitful words; + +003:011 Let him turn from evil, and do good; Let him inquire for peace + and go in pursuit of it. + +003:012 For the eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, and His ears + are open to their supplication; but the face of the Lord + is set against evil-doers." + +003:013 And who will be able to harm you, if you show yourselves + zealous for that which is good? + +003:014 But even if you suffer for righteousness' sake, you are to be envied. + So do not be alarmed by their threats, nor troubled; + +003:015 but in your hearts consecrate Christ as Lord, being always ready + to make your defence to any one who asks from you a reason + for the hope which you cherish. + +003:016 Yet argue modestly and cautiously, keeping your consciences + free from guilt, so that, when you are spoken against, + those who slander your good Christian lives may be put to shame. + +003:017 For it is better that you should suffer for doing right, + if such be God's will, than for doing evil; + +003:018 because Christ also once for all died for sins, the innocent + One for the guilty many, in order to bring us to God. + He was put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit, + +003:019 in which He also went and proclaimed His Message to the spirits + that were in prison, + +003:020 who in ancient times had been disobedient, while God's + longsuffering was patiently waiting in the days of Noah + during the building of the Ark, in which a few persons-- + eight in number--were brought safely through the water. + +003:021 And, corresponding to that figure, the water of baptism now saves you-- + not the washing off of material defilement, but the craving + of a good conscience after God--through the resurrection + of Jesus Christ, + +003:022 who is at God's right hand, having gone into Heaven, angels and + authorities and powers having been made subject to Him. + +004:001 Since, then, Christ has suffered in the flesh, you also must + arm yourselves with a determination to do the same-- + because he who has suffered in the flesh has done with sin-- + +004:002 that in future you may spend the rest of your earthly lives, + governed not by human passions, but by the will of God. + +004:003 For you have given time enough in the past to the doing of + the things which the Gentiles delight in--pursuing, as you did, + a course of habitual licence, debauchery, hard drinking, + noisy revelry, drunkenness and unholy image-worship. + +004:004 At this they are astonished--that you do not run into the same + excess of profligacy as they do; and they speak abusively of you. + +004:005 But they will have to give account to Him who stands ready + to pronounce judgement on the living and the dead. + +004:006 For it is with this end in view that the Good News was + proclaimed even to some who were dead, that they may be judged, + as all mankind will be judged, in the body, but may be living + a godly life in the spirit. + +004:007 But the end of all things is now close at hand: + therefore be sober-minded and temperate, so that you may give + yourselves to prayer. + +004:008 Above all continue to love one another fervently, for love + throws a veil over a multitude of faults. + +004:009 Extend ungrudging hospitality towards one another. + +004:010 Whatever be the gifts which each has received, you must + use them for one another's benefit, as good stewards of + God's many-sided kindness. + +004:011 If any one preaches, let it be as uttering God's truth; + if any one renders a service to others, let it be in the strength + which God supplies; so that in everything glory may be given + to God in the name of Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory + and the might to the Ages of the Ages. Amen. + +004:012 Dear friends, do not be surprised at finding that that scorching + flame of persecution is raging among you to put you to the test-- + as though some surprising thing were accidentally happening to you. + +004:013 On the contrary, in the degree that you share in the sufferings + of the Christ, rejoice, so that at the unveiling of His glory + you may also rejoice with triumphant gladness. + +004:014 You are to be envied, if you are being reproached for bearing + the name of Christ; for in that case the Spirit of glory-- + even the Spirit of God--is resting upon you. + +004:015 But let not one of you suffer as a murderer or a thief + or an evil-doer, or as a spy upon other people's business. + +004:016 If, however, any one suffers because he is a Christian, + let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God for being + permitted to bear that name. + +004:017 For the time has come for judgement to begin, and to begin + at the house of God; and if it begins with us, what will be + the end of those who reject God's Good News? + +004:018 And if it is difficult even for a righteous man to be saved, + what will become of irreligious men and sinners? + +004:019 Therefore also, let those who are suffering in accordance + with the will of God entrust their souls in well-doing + to a faithful Creator. + +005:001 So I exhort the Elders among you--I who am their fellow Elder + and have been an eye-witness of the sufferings of the Christ, + and am also a sharer in the glory which is soon to be revealed. + +005:002 Be shepherds of God's flock which is among you. + Exercise the oversight not reluctantly but eagerly, + in accordance with the will of God; not for base gain but + with cheerful minds; + +005:003 not lording it over your Churches but proving yourselves + patterns for the flock to imitate. + +005:004 And then, when the chief Shepherd appears, you will receive + the never-withering wreath of glory. + +005:005 In the same way you younger men must submit to your elders; + and all of you must gird yourselves with humility towards + one another, for God sets Himself against the proud, + but gives grace to the humble. + +005:006 Humble yourselves therefore beneath the mighty hand of God, + so that at the right time He may set you on high. + +005:007 Throw the whole of your anxiety upon Him, because He Himself + cares for you. + +005:008 Curb every passion, and be on the alert. Your great accuser, + the Devil, is going about like a roaring lion to see whom + he can devour. + +005:009 Withstand him, firm in your faith; knowing that your brethren + in other parts of the world are passing through just + the same experiences. + +005:010 And God, the giver of all grace, who has called you to share His + eternal glory, through Christ, after you have suffered for a + short time, will Himself make you perfect, firm, and strong. + +005:011 To Him be all power unto the Ages of the Ages! Amen. + +005:012 I send this short letter by Silas, our faithful brother-- + for such I regard him--in order to encourage you, and to bear + witness that what I have told you is the true grace of God. + In it stand fast. + +005:013 The Church in Babylon, chosen like yourselves by God, + sends greetings, and so does Mark my son. + +005:014 Greet one another with a kiss of love. Peace be with all of you + who are in Christ. + + + + + + + + + + +End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of Weymouth New Testament in Modern +Speech, 1 Peter, by R. F.

In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future +generations.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND +DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular +state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To +donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project +Gutenberg-tm concept of a library of electronic works that could be +freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and +distributed Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of +volunteer support. + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in +the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not +necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper +edition. + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search +facility: www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. + |
