I Petri 2

VULGATA	SAGRADA BIBLIA
1 Deponentes igitur omnem malitiam, et omnem dolum, et simulationes, et invidias, et omnes detractiones,	1 Deponde, pois, toda malícia, toda astúcia, fingimentos, invejas e toda espécie de maledicência.
2 sicut modo geniti infantes, rationabile, sine dolo lac concupiscite : ut in eo crescatis in salutem :	2 as newborn babes desire earnestly the pure mental milk of the word, that by it ye may grow up to salvation,
3 si tamen gustastis quoniam dulcis est Dominus.	3 if indeed ye have tasted that the Lord {is} good.
4 Ad quem accedentes lapidem vivum, ab hominibus quidem reprobatum, a Deo autem electum, et honorificatum :	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 et ipsi tamquam lapides vivi superædificamini, domus spiritualis, sacerdotium sanctum, offerre spirituales hostias, acceptabiles Deo per Jesum Christum.	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 Propter quod continet Scriptura : Ecce pono in Sion lapidem summum angularem, electum, pretiosum : et qui crediderit in eum, non confundetur.	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 Vobis igitur honor credentibus : non credentibus autem lapis, quem reprobaverunt ædificantes : hic factus est in caput anguli,	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 et lapis offensionis, et petra scandali, his qui offendunt verbo, nec credunt in quo et positi sunt.	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 Vos autem genus electum, regale sacerdotium, gens sancta, populus acquisitionis : ut virtutes annuntietis ejus qui de tenebris vos vocavit in admirabile lumen suum.	9 who once {were} not a people, but now God?s people; who were not enjoying mercy, but now have found mercy.
10 Qui aliquando non populus, nunc autem populus Dei : qui non consecuti misericordiam, nunc autem misericordiam consecuti.	10 Beloved, I exhort {you}, as strangers and sojourners, to abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;
11 Carissimi, obsecro vos tamquam advenas et peregrinos abstinere vos a carnalibus desideriis, quæ militant adversus animam,	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 conversationem vestram inter gentes habentes bonam : ut in eo quod detrectant de vobis tamquam de malefactoribus, ex bonis operibus vos considerantes, glorificent Deum in die visitationis.	12 or to rulers as sent by him, for vengeance on evildoers, and praise to them that do well.
13 Subjecti igitur estote omni humanæ creaturæ propter Deum : sive regi quasi præcellenti :	13 Because so is the will of God, that by well-doing ye put to silence the ignorance of senseless men;
14 sive ducibus tamquam ab eo missis ad vindictam malefactorum, laudem vero bonorum :	14 as free, and not as having liberty as a cloak of malice, but as God?s bondmen.
15 quia sic est voluntas Dei, ut benefacientes obmutescere faciatis imprudentium hominum ignorantiam :	15 Shew honour to all, love the brotherhood, fear God, honour the king.
16 quasi liberi, et non quasi velamen habentes malitiæ libertatem, sed sicut servi Dei.	16 Servants, {be} subject with all fear to your masters, not only to the good and gentle, but also to the ill-tempered.
17 Omnes honorate : fraternitatem diligite : Deum timete : regem honorificate.	17 For this {is} acceptable, if one, for conscience sake towards God, endure griefs, suffering unjustly.
18 Servi, subditi estote in omni timore dominis, non tantum bonis et modestis, sed etiam dyscolis.	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 Hæc est enim gratia, si propter Dei conscientiam sustinet quis tristitias, patiens injuste.	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 Quæ enim est gloria, si peccantes, et colaphizati suffertis ? sed si bene facientes patienter sustinetis, hæc est gratia apud Deum.	20 who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth;
21 In hoc enim vocati estis : quia et Christus passus est pro nobis, vobis relinquens exemplum ut sequamini vestigia ejus :	21 who, {when} reviled, reviled not again; {when} suffering, threatened not; but gave {himself} over into the hands of him who judges righteously;
22 qui peccatum non fecit, nec inventus est dolus in ore ejus :	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 qui cum malediceretur, non maledicebat : cum pateretur, non comminabatur : tradebat autem judicanti se injuste :	23 For ye were going astray as sheep, but have now returned to the shepherd and overseer of your souls.
24 qui peccata nostra ipse pertulit in corpore suo super lignum ; ut peccatis mortui, justitiæ vivamus : cujus livore sanati estis.
25 Eratis enim sicut oves errantes, sed conversi estis nunc ad pastorem, et episcopum animarum vestrarum.
