1 Deponde, pois, toda malícia, toda astúcia, fingimentos, invejas e toda espécie de maledicência.
2 as newborn babes desire earnestly the pure mental milk of the word, that by it ye may grow up to salvation,
3 if indeed ye have tasted that the Lord {is} good.
5 yourselves also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.
6 Because it is contained in the scripture: Behold, I lay in Zion a corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believes on him shall not be put to shame.
7 To you therefore who believe {is} the preciousness; but to the disobedient, the stone which the builders cast away as worthless, this is become head of {the} corner,
8 and a stone of stumbling and rock of offence; {who} stumble at the word, being disobedient to which also they have been appointed.
9 But *ye* {are} a chosen race, a kingly priesthood, a holy nation, a people for a possession, that ye might set forth the excellencies of him who has called you out of darkness to his wonderful light;
10 who once {were} not a people, but now God's people; who were not enjoying mercy, but now have found mercy.
11 Beloved, I exhort {you}, as strangers and sojourners, to abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;
12 having your conversation honest among the Gentiles, that {as to that} in which they speak against you as evildoers, they may through {your} good works, {themselves} witnessing {them}, glorify God in {the} day of visitation.
14 or to rulers as sent by him, for vengeance on evildoers, and praise to them that do well.
15 Because so is the will of God, that by well-doing ye put to silence the ignorance of senseless men;
16 as free, and not as having liberty as a cloak of malice, but as God's bondmen.
17 Shew honour to all, love the brotherhood, fear God, honour the king.
18 Servants, {be} subject with all fear to your masters, not only to the good and gentle, but also to the ill-tempered.
19 For this {is} acceptable, if one, for conscience sake towards God, endure griefs, suffering unjustly.
20 For what glory {is it}, if sinning and being buffeted ye shall bear {it}? but if, doing good and suffering, ye shall bear {it}, this is acceptable with God.
21 For to this have ye been called; for Christ also has suffered for you, leaving you a model that ye should follow in his steps:
22 who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth;
23 who, {when} reviled, reviled not again; {when} suffering, threatened not; but gave {himself} over into the hands of him who judges righteously;
24 who himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, in order that, being dead to sins, we may live to righteousness: by whose stripes ye have been healed.
25 For ye were going astray as sheep, but have now returned to the shepherd and overseer of your souls.
1 所以要除去一切恶毒、一切诡诈、虚伪、嫉妒和一切毁谤的话，
2 像初生婴孩爱慕那纯净的灵奶， 好叫你们靠它长大， 进入救恩；
3 因为你们已经体验过主是美善的。
4 主是活石， 虽然被人弃绝， 却是 神所拣选所珍贵的； 你们到他面前来，
5 也就像活石， 被建造成为灵宫， 作圣洁的祭司， 借着耶稣基督献上蒙 神悦纳的灵祭。
6 因为经上记着： "看哪， 我在锡安放了一块石头， 就是所拣选所珍贵的房角石， 信靠他的人， 必不致失望。"
7 所以这石头， 对你们信的人是宝贵的， 但对那不信的人， 却是"建筑工人所弃的石头， 成了房角的主要石头。"
8 它又"作了绊脚的石头， 使人跌倒的磐石。"他们跌倒是因为不顺从这道， 他们这样是必然的。
9 然而你们是蒙拣选的族类， 是君尊的祭司， 是圣洁的国民， 是属 神的子民， 为要叫你们宣扬那召你们出黑暗入奇妙光明者的美德。
10 "你们从前不是子民， 现在却是 神的子民； 从前未蒙怜恤， 现在却蒙了怜恤。"
11 亲爱的， 我劝你们作客旅和寄居的人， 要禁戒肉体的私欲， 这私欲是与灵魂争战的。
12 你们在教外人中， 应当品行端正， 使那些人， 虽然毁谤你们是作恶的， 但因为看见你们的好行为， 就要在鉴察的日子颂赞 神。
13 你们为主的缘故， 要顺服人的一切制度， 无论是至尊的君王，
14 或是君王所派赏善罚恶的官员；
15 因为这是 神的旨意， 要借着你们的善行， 塞住糊涂无知人的口。
16 你们是自由的人， 但不要用自由来掩饰邪恶， 总要像 神的仆人。
17 要尊重众人， 爱护弟兄， 敬畏 神， 尊敬君王。
18 你们作仆人的， 要凡事敬畏顺服主人， 不单是对善良温和的， 就是乖僻的也要顺服。
19 因为人若在 神面前为良心的缘故， 忍受冤屈的苦楚， 是有福的。
20 你们若因犯罪受责打而能忍耐， 有什么可夸的呢？但你们若因行善而受苦， 能忍耐， 在 神看来， 这是有福的。
21 你们就是为此蒙召， 因基督也为你们受过苦， 给你们留下榜样， 叫你们跟随他的脚踪行。
22 "他从来没有犯过罪， 口里也找不到诡诈。"
23 他被骂的时候不还嘴， 受苦的时候也不说恐吓的话； 只把自己交托给那公义的审判者。
24 他在木头上亲身担当了我们的罪， 使我们既然不活在罪中， 就可以为义而活。因他受的鞭伤， 你们就得了医治。
25 你们从前好像迷路的羊， 但现在已经回到你们灵魂的牧人和监督那里了。
