A Fresh Translation of 1 Peter 1

Kefa, Apostle of Yeshua the Christ to the exiled summoned ones of the diaspora of Pontus, Galatia, Kappadokia, Asia, and Bithunia, in line with the prognosis of God the Father with the consecration of the Spirit of the Christ as far as the obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Yeshua the Christ, charity to you and multiplied peace.

     The God and Father of our Lord Yeshua the Christ be blessed, who down the line of His much mercy rebirthed us into a living hope through the resurrection of Yeshua the Christ from the dead, into an undecaying inheritance both undefiled and unquenched, having been kept in the heavenly realms for you folks who are guarded with the power of God through the faith as far as the prepared deliverance to be revealed in the last period of time is concerned. By means of whom you are overjoyed, if at present having been grieved with many kinds of temptations is a little necessary, so that the proof of the faith practiced by you more precious than gold which is destroyed yet being proved through fire, might be found for approval and glory and value with the revelation of Yeshua the Christ; whom not having seen  you love, into whom at present not seeing yet putting your trust you are overjoyed with unspeakable and having been glorified joy, being furnished with the goal of the faith, the deliverance of psyches.

     About which deliverance the prophets who had prophesied about the charity for you searched out and scrutinized, scrutinizing as far as what or what kind of period of time the Spirit of the Christ within them would clarify the sufferings as far as the Christ being witnessed beforehand and the glories with these. To whom it was revealed that, not for themselves yet for you folks they were serving these self-same things, which now were proclaimed to you by means of you having been evangelized with the Holy Spirit having been sent from the heavenly realm, into which things angels desire to bend over and steal a glance at.

     Therefore, the hips of your notion having been belted up, being well balanced maturely hope upon the charity having been brought to you with the revelation of Yeshua the Christ. Like obedient children not modeling yourselves on the desires of your first ignorance but down the line of the one having summoned you holy you also yourselves become holy with every behavior. Because it is written that “You will be holy, because I am holy.”

     And if you invoke the Father who decides impartially down the line of each deed, behave with awe during the time of your exile, knowing that you were ransomed from your pointless behavior handed down from your fathers not by decaying things, by silver or gold, but by the costly blood of Christ like an unblemished and spotless lamb, with it previously being made known on the one hand before the founding of the universe yet having been manifested upon the last of the periods of time because of you folks who trusted through Him into the God who raised Him from the dead and given glory to Him, so as for your trust and hope to be into God.

     Having purified your psyches by fire with the obedience of the truth as far as unhypocritical brotherly love, love one another from the heart eagerly, having been rebirthed not from a seeding of decay but of undecay through the message of the living and abiding God. Because, “every single flesh is like grass and every opinion of it is like the blossom of grass; the grass dried up and the blossom fell off; yet the spoken word of the Lord makes its home into the eon.”

Yet this thing is the spoken word which was was evangelized into you folks.
