베드로전서 2
Korean Bible: Easy-to-Read Version
살아 있는 돌과 거룩한 민족
2 그러므로 여러분은 모든 악의와 모든 거짓과 위선과 시기와 남을 헐뜯는 온갖 말을 버리십시오. 2 갓난아기처럼 순수하고, 신령한 젖을 애타게 찾으십시오. 여러분이 그것을 먹고 자라 구원을 얻게 하려는 것입니다. 3 여러분은 이미 주님이 얼마나 좋은 분이신지 맛보았습니다.[a]
4 그리스도께서는 살아 있는 돌이십니다. 사람들에게는 버림을 받았으나, 하나님께는 택함을 받은 귀한 돌입니다. 이제 여러분은 그분께 나와 5 살아 있는 돌이 되어, 신령한 집을 짓는 데 쓰이도록 하십시오. 그리고 거룩한 제사장이 되어 하나님께서 기쁘게 받으실 만한 신령한 제사를 예수 그리스도를 통하여 드리십시오. 6 성경[b]에 이런 말씀이 있습니다.
7 이제 이 돌이 믿는 여러분에게는 귀한 돌이지만, 믿지 않는 사람들에게는
“집 짓는 자들이 버린 돌이
모퉁이의 머릿돌이 되었다.”(B)
라고 말한 돌입니다. 8 그리고
“사람들이 걸려 비틀거리게 하는 돌이며
그들을 넘어지게 하는 바위.”(C)
이기도 합니다. 그들이 걸려서 비틀거리는 것은 하나님의 말씀에 순종하지 않기 때문입니다. 하나님께서는 그들이 그렇게 되도록 정해 놓으셨습니다.
9 그러나 여러분은 하나님께서 택하신 민족이고, 왕의 제사장들이며, 거룩한 백성[e]이고, 하나님께 속한 백성입니다. 그것은, 여러분을 어둠으로부터 불러내어 놀라운 빛 가운데로 인도하신 하나님께서 행하신 놀라운 일들을, 여러분이 널리 전하게 하시려는 것입니다.
10 여러분이 전에는 하나님의 백성이 아니었으나
지금은 그분의 백성이며,
하나님의 자비를 받지 못하였으나
이제는 자비를 받았습니다.[f]
하나님을 위한 삶
11 사랑하는 여러분, 나는 이 세상에서 거류민[g]과 같고, 나그네와 같은 여러분에게 간곡히 부탁합니다. 여러분의 영적인 본능과 싸우고 있는 육체의 욕망에 굴복하지 마십시오. 12 여러분은 지금 이방 사람[h] 가운데서 살고 있습니다. 그 사람들이 여러분을 나쁜 짓을 하는 사람들이라고 비난할지도 모르겠습니다. 그러니 바르게 사십시오. 그들이 여러분의 선한 행실을 보고, 하나님께서 세상을 심판하러 오시는 날에 하나님께 영광을 돌릴 것입니다.
다스리는 자들에게 순종하여라
13 여러분은 주님을 위해서 하나님께서 지으신 모든 인간에게 적절한 경의를 표하십시오. 최고의 권력자인 왕이나 14 총독들을 존경하십시오. 총독들은 나쁜 짓을 하는 사람들에게는 벌을 주고, 옳은 일을 하는 사람들에게는 상을 주게 하려고, 왕이 보낸 사람들입니다. 15 여러분은 선한 일을 하여, 어리석은 사람들의 무식한 말을 막으십시오. 그것이 하나님께서 바라시는 일입니다. 16 여러분은 자유인답게 사십시오. 그러나 여러분의 자유를 핑계로 함부로 악을 행하지 마십시오. 오히려 하나님의 종으로 사십시오. 17 모든 사람을 존경하십시오. 그리스도를 믿는 형제와 자매들을 사랑하십시오. 하나님을 두려워하고 왕을 높이 받드십시오.
고난을 당하신 그리스도의 모범
18 종으로 살고 있는 여러분, 지극히 존경하는 마음으로 주인들에게 복종하십시오. 선하고 인정이 많은 주인뿐만 아니라 마음씨 고약한 주인에게도 복종하십시오. 19 억울하게 고통을 당하면서도 하나님을 생각하고 괴로움을 참아 내면, 그것은 칭찬받을 만한 일입니다. 20 나쁜 짓을 하고 매를 맞으면서 참는다면, 그것이 무슨 칭찬받을 일이겠습니까? 그러나 옳은 일을 하고도 당하는 고통을 참아 내면, 그것은 하나님께서 보시기에 칭찬할 만한 일입니다. 21 여러분은 그렇게 살라고 부르심을 받았습니다. 그리스도께서는 여러분을 위해 고난을 당하심으로써, 여러분에게 본을 보여 주셨습니다. 그것은, 여러분도 그분의 발자취를 따르게 하려는 것입니다.
22 “그분은 아무 죄도 지은 일이 없고,
그분의 입에선
아무런 거짓도 찾을 수 없었습니다.”(D)
23 그분은 모욕을 당하시고도 모욕으로 갚지 않으셨습니다. 그분은 고통을 당하면서도, 자기를 괴롭히는 자들을 위협하지 않으셨습니다. 그분은 오직 바르게 심판하시는 분께 자신을 맡기셨습니다. 24 그분은 우리의 죄를 몸소 짊어지시고 십자가로 가셨습니다. 우리로 하여금 죄에서 벗어나 의롭게 살게[i] 해 주시려는 것이었습니다. 그분이 입은 상처로 여러분이 나음을 얻었습니다. 25 여러분이 전에는 마치 길 잃은 양과 같았으나, 이제는 여러분의 영혼의 목자이며 보호자이신 그분께 돌아왔습니다.

New King James Version
Our Inheritance Through Christ’s Blood
2 Therefore, (A)laying aside all malice, all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and all evil speaking, 2 (B)as newborn babes, desire the pure (C)milk of the word, that you may grow [a]thereby, 3 if indeed you have (D)tasted that the Lord is gracious.
The Chosen Stone and His Chosen People(E)
4 Coming to Him as to a living stone, (F)rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God and precious, 5 you also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. 6 Therefore it is also contained in the Scripture,
(G)“Behold, I lay in Zion
A chief cornerstone, elect, precious,
And he who believes on Him will by no means be put to shame.”
7 Therefore, to you who believe, He is precious; but to those who [b]are disobedient,
(H)“The stone which the builders rejected
Has become the chief cornerstone,”
8 and
(I)“A stone of stumbling
And a rock of offense.”
(J)They stumble, being disobedient to the word, (K)to which they also were appointed.
9 But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of (L)darkness into His marvelous light; 10 (M)who once were not a people but are now the people of God, who had not obtained mercy but now have obtained mercy.
Living Before the World
11 Beloved, I beg you as sojourners and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts (N)which war against the soul, 12 (O)having your conduct honorable among the Gentiles, that when they speak against you as evildoers, (P)they may, by your good works which they observe, glorify God in the day of visitation.
Submission to Government(Q)
13 (R)Therefore submit yourselves to every [c]ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake, whether to the king as supreme, 14 or to governors, as to those who are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers and for the praise of those who do good. 15 For this is the will of God, that by doing good you may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men— 16 (S)as free, yet not (T)using liberty as a cloak for [d]vice, but as bondservants of God. 17 Honor all people. Love the brotherhood. Fear (U)God. Honor the king.
Submission to Masters(V)
18 (W)Servants, be submissive to your masters with all fear, not only to the good and gentle, but also to the harsh. 19 For this is (X)commendable, if because of conscience toward God one endures grief, suffering wrongfully. 20 For (Y)what credit is it if, when you are beaten for your faults, you take it patiently? But when you do good and suffer, if you take it patiently, this is commendable before God. 21 For (Z)to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for [e]us, (AA)leaving [f]us an example, that you should follow His steps:
22 “Who(AB) committed no sin,
Nor was deceit found in His mouth”;
23 (AC)who, when He was reviled, did not revile in return; when He suffered, He did not threaten, but (AD)committed Himself to Him who judges righteously; 24 (AE)who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, (AF)that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness—(AG)by whose [g]stripes you were healed. 25 For (AH)you were like sheep going astray, but have now returned (AI)to the Shepherd and [h]Overseer of your souls.

Live as God’s Chosen People
2 So get rid of every kind of evil, every kind of deception, hypocrisy, jealousy, and every kind of slander. 2 Desire God’s pure word as newborn babies desire milk. Then you will grow in your salvation. 3 Certainly you have tasted that the Lord is good!
4 You are coming to Christ, the living stone who was rejected by humans but was chosen as precious by God. 5 You come to him as living stones, a spiritual house that is being built into a holy priesthood. So offer spiritual sacrifices that God accepts through Yeshua Christ. 6 That is why Scripture says,
“I am laying a chosen and precious cornerstone in Zion,
and the person who believes in him
will never be ashamed.”
7 This honor belongs to those who believe. But to those who don’t believe:
“The stone that the builders rejected
has become the cornerstone,
8 a stone that people trip over,
a large rock that people find offensive.”
The people tripped over the word because they refused to believe it. Therefore, this is how they ended up.
9 However, you are chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, people who belong to God. You were chosen to tell about the excellent qualities of God, who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. 10 Once you were not God’s people, but now you are. Once you were not shown mercy, but now you have been shown mercy.
11 Dear friends, since you are foreigners and temporary residents in the world, I’m encouraging you to keep away from the desires of your corrupt nature. These desires constantly attack you. 12 Live decent lives among unbelievers. Then, although they ridicule you as if you were doing wrong while they are watching you do good things, they will praise God on the day he comes to help you.
Respect the Authority of Others
13 Place yourselves under the authority of human governments to please the Lord. Obey the emperor. He holds the highest position of authority. 14 Also obey governors. They are people the emperor has sent to punish those who do wrong and to praise those who do right. 15 God wants you to silence the ignorance of foolish people by doing what is right. 16 Live as free people, but don’t hide behind your freedom when you do evil. Instead, use your freedom to serve God. 17 Honor everyone. Love your brothers and sisters in the faith. Fear God. Honor the emperor.
18 Slaves, place yourselves under the authority of your owners and show them complete respect. Obey not only those owners who are good and kind, but also those who are unfair. 19 God is pleased if a person is aware of him while enduring the pains of unjust suffering. 20 What credit do you deserve if you endure a beating for doing something wrong? But if you endure suffering for doing something good, God is pleased with you.
21 God called you to endure suffering because Christ suffered for you. He left you an example so that you could follow in his footsteps. 22 Christ never committed any sin. He never spoke deceitfully. 23 Christ never verbally abused those who verbally abused him. When he suffered, he didn’t make any threats but left everything to the one who judges fairly. 24 Christ carried our sins in his body on the cross so that freed from our sins, we could live a life that has God’s approval. His wounds have healed you. 25 You were like lost sheep. Now you have come back to the shepherd and bishop[a] of your lives.

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.
