CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	NOVA VULGATA
1 Peter, Apostle of Jesus Christ, to the newly-arrived elect of the dispersion in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,	1 Petrus apostolus Iesu Christi electis advenis dispersionis Pon ti,Galatiae, Cappadociae, Asiae et Bithyniae,
2 in accord with the foreknowledge of God the Father, in the sanctification of the Spirit, with the obedience and the sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: May grace and peace be multiplied for you.	2 secundum praescientiam Dei Patris,in sanctificatione Spiritus, in oboedientiam et aspersionem sanguinis IesuChristi: gratia vobis et pax multiplicetur.
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to his great mercy has regenerated us into a living hope, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead:	3 Benedictus Deus et Pater Domini nostri Iesu Christi, qui secundum magnammisericordiam suam regeneravit nos in spem vivam per resurrectionem Iesu Christiex mortuis,
4 unto an incorruptible and undefiled and unfading inheritance, which is reserved for you in heaven.	4 in hereditatem incorruptibilem et incontaminatam etimmarcescibilem, conservatam in caelis propter vos,
5 By the power of God, you are guarded through faith for a salvation which is ready to be revealed in the end time.	5 qui in virtute Deicustodimini per fidem in salutem, paratam revelari in tempore novissimo.
6 In this, you should exult, if now, for a brief time, it is necessary to be made sorrowful by various trials,	6 Inquo exsultatis, modicum nunc si oportet contristati in variis tentationibus,
7 so that the testing of your faith, which is much more precious than gold tested by fire, may be found in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ.	7 ut probatio vestrae fidei multo pretiosior auro, quod perit, per ignem quidemprobato, inveniatur in laudem et gloriam et honorem in revelatione Iesu Christi.
8 For though you have not seen him, you love him. In him also, though you do not see him, you now believe. And in believing, you shall exult with an inexpressible and glorious joy,	8 Quem cum non videritis, diligitis; in quem nunc non videntes, credentes autem,exsultatis laetitia inenarrabili et glorificata,
9 returning with the goal of your faith, the salvation of souls.	9 reportantes finem fideivestrae salutem animarum.
10 About this salvation, the prophets inquired and diligently searched, those who prophesied about the future grace in you,	10 De qua salute exquisierunt atque scrutati sunt prophetae, qui de futura invos gratia prophetaverunt,
11 inquiring as to what type of condition was signified to them by the Spirit of Christ, when foretelling those sufferings that are in Christ, as well as the subsequent glories.	11 scrutantes in quod vel quale tempus significaret,qui erat in eis Spiritus Christi, praenuntians eas, quae in Christo sunt,passiones et posteriores glorias;
12 To them, it was revealed that they were ministering, not for themselves, but for you those things which have now been announced to you through those who have preached the Gospel to you, through the Holy Spirit, who was sent down from heaven to the One upon whom the Angels desire to gaze.	12 quibus revelatum est quia non sibi ipsis,vobis autem ministrabant ea, quae nunc nuntiata sunt vobis per eos, quievangelizaverunt vos, Spiritu Sancto misso de caelo, in quae desiderant angeliprospicere.
13 For this reason, gird the waist of your mind, be sober, and hope perfectly in the grace that is offered to you in the revelation of Jesus Christ.	13 Propter quod succincti lumbos mentis vestrae, sobrii, perfecte sperate ineam, quae offertur vobis, gratiam in revelatione Iesu Christi.
14 Be like sons of obedience, not conforming to the desires of your former ignorance,	14 Quasi filiioboedientiae, non configurati prioribus in ignorantia vestra desideriis,
15 but in accord with him who has called you: the Holy One. And in every behavior, you yourself must be holy,	15 sedsecundum eum, qui vocavit vos, sanctum, et ipsi sancti in omni conversationesitis,
16 for it is written: “You shall be holy, for I am Holy.”	16 quoniam scriptum est: “ Sancti eritis, quia ego sanctus sum ”.
17 And if you invoke as Father him who, without showing favoritism to persons, judges according to each one’s work, then act in fear during the time of your sojourning here.	17 Et si Patrem invocatis eum, qui sine acceptione personarum iudicat secundumuniuscuiusque opus, in timore incolatus vestri tempore conversamini,
18 For you know that it was not with corruptible gold or silver that you were redeemed away from your useless behavior in the traditions of your fathers,	18 scientesquod non corruptibilibus argento vel auro redempti estis de vana vestraconversatione a patribus tradita,
19 but it was with the precious blood of Christ, an immaculate and undefiled lamb,	19 sed pretioso sanguine quasi Agniincontaminati et immaculati Christi,
20 foreknown, certainly, before the foundation of the world, and made manifest in these latter times for your sake.	20 praecogniti quidem ante constitutionemmundi, manifestati autem novissimis temporibus propter vos,
21 Through him, you have been faithful to God, who raised him up from the dead and gave him glory, so that your faith and hope would be in God.	21 qui per ipsumfideles estis in Deum, qui suscitavit eum a mortuis et dedit ei gloriam, utfides vestra et spes esset in Deum.
22 So chastise your souls with the obedience of charity, in fraternal love, and love one another from a simple heart, attentively.	22 Animas vestras castificantes in oboedientia veritatis ad fraternitatis amoremnon fictum, ex corde invicem diligite attentius,
23 For you have been born again, not from corruptible seed, but from what is incorruptible, from the Word of God, living and remaining for all eternity.	23 renati non ex seminecorruptibili sed incorruptibili per verbum Dei vivum et permanens:
24 For all flesh is like the grass and all its glory is like the flower of the grass. The grass withers and its flower falls away.	24 quia omnis caro ut fenum, et omnis gloria eius tamquam flos feni. Exaruit fenum, et flos decidit;
25 But the Word of the Lord endures for eternity. And this is the Word that has been evangelized to you.	25 verbum autem Domini manet in aeternum. Hoc est autem verbum, quod evangelizatum est in vos.
