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。
1 Peter 2
Holman Christian Standard Bible
The Living Stone and a Holy People
2 So rid yourselves of(A) all malice, all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and all slander.(B) 2 Like newborn infants, desire the pure spiritual milk,(C) so that you may grow by it for your salvation,[a] 3 since you have tasted(D) that the Lord is good.(E)[b] 4 Coming to Him, a living stone—rejected by men but chosen and valuable to God— 5 you yourselves, as living stones, are being built into a spiritual house for a holy priesthood to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God(F) through Jesus Christ. 6 For it is contained in Scripture:
Look! I lay a stone in Zion,(G)
a chosen and honored[c] cornerstone,[d](H)
and the one who believes in Him
will never be put to shame[f]
7 So honor will come to you who believe, but for the unbelieving,
8 and
They stumble because they disobey the message; they were destined(L) for this.
9 But you are a chosen race,[k](M)[l] a royal priesthood,(N)[m]
a holy nation,(O)[n] a people for His possession,(P)[o]
so that you may proclaim the praises[p](Q)[q]
of the One who called you out of darkness
into His marvelous light.(R)
10 Once you were not a people,
but now you are God’s people;
you had not received mercy,(S)
but now you have received mercy.
A Call to Good Works
11 Dear friends, I urge you as strangers and temporary residents(T) to abstain(U) from fleshly(V) desires that war against you.[r](W) 12 Conduct(X) yourselves honorably among the Gentiles,[s] so that in a case where they speak against you as those who do what is evil, they will, by observing your good works, glorify God on the day of visitation.[t](Y)
13 Submit(Z) to every human authority[u] because of the Lord, whether to the Emperor[v] as the supreme authority(AA) 14 or to governors as those sent out by him to punish those who do what is evil and to praise those who do what is good. 15 For it is God’s will(AB) that you silence the ignorance(AC) of foolish people by doing good. 16 As God’s slaves,(AD) live as free people, but don’t use your freedom as a way to conceal evil.(AE) 17 Honor everyone. Love(AF) the brotherhood.(AG) Fear God.(AH) Honor the Emperor.[w]
Submission of Slaves to Masters
18 Household slaves, submit with all fear(AI) to your masters,(AJ) not only to the good and gentle but also to the cruel.[x](AK) 19 For it brings favor[y] if, mindful of God’s will,[z][aa] someone endures grief from suffering unjustly. 20 For what credit is there if you sin and are punished, and you endure it? But when you do what is good and suffer,(AL) if you endure it, this brings favor with God.
21 For you were called to this,
because Christ also suffered(AM) for you,
leaving you an example,(AN)
so that you should follow(AO) in His steps.
22 He did not commit sin,(AP)
and no deceit(AQ) was found in His mouth;(AR)[ab]
23 when He was reviled,
He did not revile in return;
when He was suffering,
He did not threaten
but entrusted Himself to the One who judges(AS) justly.
24 He Himself bore our sins(AT)
in His body(AU) on the tree,(AV)
so that, having died to sins,(AW)
we might live for righteousness;(AX)
you have been healed by His wounds.(AY)[ac]
25 For you were like sheep going astray,(AZ)[ad]
but you have now returned
to the Shepherd(BA) and Guardian[ae] of your souls.
