彼得前书 2
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
信徒像活石被建造成灵宫
2 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，
使人跌倒的盘石。”
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。”
应当品行端正
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。
基督受苦的榜样
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，有甚么可夸的呢？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 你们从前好象迷路的羊，但现在已经回到你们灵魂的牧人和监督那里了。
彼得前书 2
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
渴慕灵奶
2 因此，你们既然已经除去一切恶毒、欺诈、虚伪、嫉妒和毁谤， 2 就要像初生的婴儿一样渴慕纯净的灵奶，好不断成长，直到完全得救。 3 因为你们尝过主恩的滋味是何等甘美。
灵宫活石
4 主是活石，虽然被人弃绝，却被上帝拣选、视为宝贵。 5 你们也如同活石，被用来建造属灵的宫殿，好做圣洁的祭司，借着耶稣基督献上蒙上帝悦纳的灵祭。 6 因为圣经上说：
“看啊，我在锡安放了一块蒙拣选的宝贵房角石，
信靠祂的人必不会蒙羞。”
7 所以，对你们信的人而言，这石头是宝贵的；但对那些不信的人来说，却是：
“工匠丢弃的石头，
已成了房角石。”
8 也是：
“绊脚石和使人跌倒的磐石。”
他们跌倒是因为他们不顺服真道，这种下场早已注定了。
9 但你们是蒙拣选的族群，是君尊的祭司，是圣洁的国度，是上帝的子民，因此你们可以宣扬上帝的美德。祂曾呼召你们离开黑暗，进入祂奇妙的光明。 10 从前你们不是上帝的子民，现在却做了祂的子民；从前你们未蒙怜悯，现在却蒙了怜悯。
上帝的仆人
11 亲爱的弟兄姊妹，你们是客旅，是寄居的，我劝你们要禁戒与灵魂为敌的邪情私欲。 12 你们在异教徒当中要品行端正。这样，尽管他们毁谤你们是作恶的人，但看见你们的好行为，也会在主来的日子把荣耀归给上帝。
13 为主的缘故，你们要服从人间的一切权柄，不管是居首位的君王， 14 还是被君王派来赏善罚恶的官员。 15 因为上帝的旨意是要你们行善，使那些愚昧无知的人哑口无言。 16 你们是自由的人，不要以自由为借口去犯罪作恶，要做上帝的奴仆。 17 要尊重所有的人，爱主内的弟兄姊妹，敬畏上帝，尊敬君王。
受苦的榜样
18 你们做奴仆的，要存敬畏的心顺服主人，不但顺服那良善温和的，也要顺服那凶暴的。 19 因为人若为了让良心对得起上帝而忍受冤屈之苦，就会得到恩福。 20 如果你们犯罪受责打，能够忍受得住，有什么功劳呢？但如果你们因行善而受苦，还能忍受，就是上帝所喜悦的。
21 你们蒙召也是为此，因为基督也为你们受过苦，给你们留下榜样，叫你们可以追随祂的脚步。 22 祂没有犯罪，口中也没有诡诈。 23 祂被辱骂也不还口，被迫害也不扬言报复，只把自己交托给按公义施行审判的上帝。 24 祂被钉在十字架上，亲身担当了我们的罪，使我们向着罪死了，可以过公义的生活。因祂所受的鞭伤，你们得到了医治。 25 从前你们好像是迷路的羊，现在却归向了你们灵魂的牧人和监护者。
1 Peter 2
King James Version
2 Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings,
2 As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:
3 If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious.
4 To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious,
5 Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.
6 Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded.
7 Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner,
8 And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.
9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light;
10 Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.
11 Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;
12 Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation.
13 Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme;
14 Or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well.
15 For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:
16 As free, and not using your liberty for a cloke of maliciousness, but as the servants of God.
17 Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king.
18 Servants, be subject to your masters with all fear; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the froward.
19 For this is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully.
20 For what glory is it, if, when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye take it patiently, this is acceptable with God.
21 For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:
22 Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:
23 Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously:
24 Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.
25 For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.
