Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Who, according to his great mercy, hath regenerated us unto a living hope, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from among the dead,

Concerning which salvation, prophets - who concerning the favour for you, did prophesy - sought out and searched out,

who, through him, are faithful towards God, - Who raised him from among the dead, and glory to him gave, So that your faith and hope are directed towards God:

Who did not, a sin, commit, neither was deceit found in his mouth, -

Who shall render an account unto him who is holding in readiness to judge living and dead;

For, unto this end, even unto the dead, was the glad-message delivered, - in order that they might be judged, indeed, according to men in flesh, but might live according to God in spirit.
