1 Peter 2

NEW JERUSALEM	SAGRADA BIBLIA
1 Rid yourselves, then, of al spite, deceit, hypocrisy, envy and carping criticism.	1 Deponde, pois, toda malícia, toda astúcia, fingimentos, invejas e toda espécie de maledicência.
2 Like new-born babies al your longing should be for milk -- the unadulterated spiritual milk -- which willhelp you to grow up to salvation,	2 as newborn babes desire earnestly the pure mental milk of the word, that by it ye may grow up to salvation,
3 at any rate if you have tasted that the Lord is good .	3 if indeed ye have tasted that the Lord {is} good.
4 He is the living stone, rejected by human beings but chosen by God and precious to him; set yourselvesclose to him	4 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.
5 so that you, too, may be living stones making a spiritual house as a holy priesthood to offer the spiritualsacrifices made acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.	5 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.
6 As scripture says: Now I am laying a stone in Zion, a chosen, precious cornerstone and no one whorelies on this wil be brought to disgrace.	6 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,
7 To you believers it brings honour. But for unbelievers, it is rather a stone which the builders rejectedthat became a cornerstone,	7 and a stone of stumbling and rock of offence; {who} stumble at the word, being disobedient to which also they have been appointed.
8 a stumbling stone, a rock to trip people up. They stumble over it because they do not believe in theWord; it was the fate in store for them.	8 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;
9 But you are a chosen race, a kingdom of priests, a holy nation, a people to be a personal possession tosing the praises of God who cal ed you out of the darkness into his wonderful light.	9 who once {were} not a people, but now God?s people; who were not enjoying mercy, but now have found mercy.
10 Once you were a non-people and now you are the People of God; once you were outside his pity; nowyou have received pity.	10 Beloved, I exhort {you}, as strangers and sojourners, to abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;
11 I urge you, my dear friends, as strangers and nomads, to keep yourselves free from the disorderednatural inclinations that attack the soul.	11 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.
12 Always behave honourably among gentiles so that they can see for themselves what moral lives youlead, and when the day of reckoning comes, give thanks to God for the things which now make them denounceyou as criminals.	12 or to rulers as sent by him, for vengeance on evildoers, and praise to them that do well.
13 For the sake of the Lord, accept the authority of every human institution: the emperor, as the supremeauthority,	13 Because so is the will of God, that by well-doing ye put to silence the ignorance of senseless men;
14 and the governors as commissioned by him to punish criminals and praise those who do good.	14 as free, and not as having liberty as a cloak of malice, but as God?s bondmen.
15 It is God's will that by your good deeds you should silence the ignorant talk of fools.	15 Shew honour to all, love the brotherhood, fear God, honour the king.
16 You are slaves of no one except God, so behave like free people, and never use your freedom as acover for wickedness.	16 Servants, {be} subject with all fear to your masters, not only to the good and gentle, but also to the ill-tempered.
17 Have respect for everyone and love for your fel ow-believers; fear God and honour the emperor.	17 For this {is} acceptable, if one, for conscience sake towards God, endure griefs, suffering unjustly.
18 Slaves, you should obey your masters respectful y, not only those who are kind and reasonable butalso those who are difficult to please.	18 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.
19 You see, there is merit if, in awareness of God, you put up with the pains of undeserved punishment;	19 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:
20 but what glory is there in putting up with a beating after you have done something wrong? The merit inthe sight of God is in putting up with it patiently when you are punished for doing your duty.	20 who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth;
21 This, in fact, is what you were called to do, because Christ suffered for you and left an example for youto fol ow in his steps.	21 who, {when} reviled, reviled not again; {when} suffering, threatened not; but gave {himself} over into the hands of him who judges righteously;
22 He had done nothing wrong, and had spoken no deceit.	22 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.
23 He was insulted and did not retaliate with insults; when he was suffering he made no threats but puthis trust in the upright judge.	23 For ye were going astray as sheep, but have now returned to the shepherd and overseer of your souls.
24 He was bearing our sins in his own body on the cross, so that we might die to our sins and live foruprightness; through his bruises you have been healed.
25 You had gone astray like sheep but now you have returned to the shepherd and guardian of yoursouls.
