Salutation
1
Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the chosen ones who are living as foreigners in the Dispersion in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,
2
according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, in sanctification of the Spirit, that you may obey Jesus Christ and be sprinkled with his blood: Grace to you and peace be multiplied.
Une espérance vivante
3
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to his great mercy became our father again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
4
to an incorruptible and undefiled inheritance that doesn't fade away, reserved in Heaven for you,
5
who by the power of God are guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
6
Wherein you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been put to grief in various trials,
7
that the proof of your faith, which is more precious than gold that perishes even though it is tested by fire, may be found to result in praise, glory, and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ--
8
whom not having known you love; in whom, though now you don't see him, yet believing, you rejoice greatly with joy unspeakable and full of glory--
9
receiving the result of your faith, the salvation of your souls.
10
Concerning this salvation, the prophets sought and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that would come to you,
11
searching for who or what kind of time the Spirit of Christ, which was in them, pointed to, when he predicted the sufferings of Christ, and the glories that would follow them.
12
To them it was revealed, that not to themselves, but to you, they ministered these things, which now have been announced to you through those who preached the Good News to you by the Holy Spirit sent out from heaven; which things angels desire to look into.
Appel à vivre saintement
13
Therefore prepare your minds for action, be sober and set your hope fully on the grace that will be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ--
14
as children of obedience, not conforming yourselves according to your former lusts as in your ignorance,
15
but just as he who called you is holy, you yourselves also be holy in all of your behavior;
16
because it is written, "You shall be holy; for I am holy."
17
If you call on him as Father, who without respect of persons judges according to each man's work, pass the time of your living as foreigners here in reverent fear:
18
knowing that you were redeemed, not with corruptible things, with silver or gold, from the useless way of life handed down from your fathers,
19
but with precious blood, as of a faultless and pure lamb, the blood of Christ;
20
who was foreknown indeed before the foundation of the world, but was revealed at the end of times for your sake,
21
who through him are believers in God, who raised him from the dead, and gave him glory; so that your faith and hope might be in God.
22
Seeing you have purified your souls in your obedience to the truth through the Spirit in sincere brotherly affection, love one another from the heart fervently:
23
having been born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, through the word of God, which lives and remains forever.
24
For, "All flesh is like grass, and all of man's glory like the flower in the grass. The grass withers, and its flower falls;
25
but the Lord's word endures forever." This is the word of Good News which was preached to you.

Salutation
1
Pierre, apôtre de Jésus-Christ, aux élus étrangers dispersés dans le Pont, la Galatie, la Cappadoce, l'Asie et la Bithynie,
2
Élus selon la prescience de Dieu le Père, pour être sanctifiés par l'Esprit, pour obéir à Jésus-Christ, et pour avoir part à l'aspersion de son sang. Que la grâce et la paix vous soient multipliées !
Une espérance vivante
3
Béni soit le Dieu et Père de notre Seigneur Jésus-Christ, qui, selon sa grande miséricorde, nous a fait renaître, pour une espérance vivante par la résurrection de Jésus-Christ d'entre les morts,
4
Pour un héritage incorruptible, sans tache, inaltérable, et réservé dans les cieux pour nous,
5
Qui, dans la puissance de Dieu, sommes gardés par la foi, pour le salut, qui est prêt à être manifesté dans les derniers temps.
6
En cela vous vous réjouissez, quoique vous soyez maintenant attristés pour un peu de temps par diverses épreuves, puisqu'il le faut,
7
Afin que l'épreuve de votre foi, plus précieuse que l'or périssable, qui pourtant est éprouvé par le feu, vous tourne à louange, à honneur et à gloire, lors de l'avènement de Jésus-Christ,
8
Que vous aimez, sans l'avoir connu, en qui vous croyez, sans le voir encore, et vous vous réjouissez d'une joie ineffable et glorieuse,
9
Remportant le prix de votre foi, le salut de vos âmes.
10
C'est de ce salut que se sont informés et enquis les prophètes, qui ont prophétisé touchant la grâce qui est en vous ;
11
Recherchant, pour quel temps et quelles conjonctures l'Esprit de Christ qui était en eux, et qui rendait témoignage d'avance, leur révélait les souffrances de Christ, et la gloire dont elles seraient suivies.
12
Et il leur fut révélé que ce n'était pas pour eux-mêmes, mais pour nous, qu'ils étaient dispensateurs de ces choses, qui vous ont été annoncées maintenant par ceux qui vous ont prêché l'Évangile, par le Saint-Esprit envoyé du ciel, et dans lesquelles les anges désirent plonger leurs regards.
Appel à vivre saintement
13
C'est pourquoi, ayant ceint les reins de votre entendement, et étant sobres, attendez avec une parfaite espérance la grâce qui vous sera apportée à la manifestation de Jésus-Christ ;
14
Comme des enfants obéissants, ne vous conformez point aux convoitises de votre ignorance d'autrefois.
15
Mais comme celui qui vous a appelés, est saint, soyez vous-mêmes saints dans toute votre conduite.
16
En effet il est écrit : Soyez saints, car je suis saint.
17
Et si vous invoquez comme votre Père celui qui, sans faire acception de personnes, juge selon l'oeuvre de chacun, conduisez-vous avec crainte durant le temps de votre habitation passagère ici-bas ;
18
Sachant que vous avez été rachetés de la vaine manière de vivre que vous aviez héritée de vos pères, non par des choses périssables, comme l'argent et l'or,
19
Mais par un précieux sang, comme d'un Agneau sans défaut et sans tache,
20
Christ, destiné déjà avant la création du monde, et manifesté dans les derniers temps à cause de vous,
21
Qui, par lui, croyez en Dieu, qui l'a ressuscité des morts, et l'a glorifié, afin que votre foi et votre espérance fussent en Dieu.
22
Ayant purifié vos âmes, en obéissant à la vérité, par l'Esprit, pour avoir un amour fraternel et sans hypocrisie, aimez-vous avec constance les uns les autres d'un coeur pur,
23
Étant régénérés, non par une semence corruptible, mais par une semence incorruptible, par la parole de Dieu, qui vit et qui demeure éternellement.
24
Car toute chair est comme l'herbe, et toute la gloire de l'homme comme la fleur de l'herbe ; l'herbe sèche, et sa fleur tombe ;
25
Mais la parole du Seigneur demeure éternellement ; et c'est cette parole dont la bonne nouvelle vous a été annoncée.
