Първо Петрово 2
Библия, нов превод от оригиналните езици (с неканоничните книги)
Божият дом и Божият народ
2 И тъй, оставете всяка злоба, всяко коварство, лицемерие, завист и всяко злословие. 2 Като новородени деца бъдете винаги жадни за чисто духовно мляко, за да пораснете с него за спасение, 3 (A)защото вкусихте колко благ е Господ. 4 Пристъпете към Него, живия камък, отхвърлен от хората, но избран като скъпоценен от Бога, 5 (B)и сами, като живи камъни, съграждайте от себе си духовен дом, за да принесете като свято свещенство духовни жертви, угодни на Бога чрез Иисус Христос. 6 (C)Затова в Писанието е казано: „Ето полагам в Сион крайъгълен камък, избран и скъпоценен. И който вярва в него, няма да се посрами.“
7 (D)И така, за вас, вярващите, Той е скъпоценен, а за невярващите – „камък, който отхвърлиха зидарите, той стана глава на ъгъла“ и е „камък за препъване и камък за съблазън“. 8 (E)А се препъват онези, които се противят на словото; те за това са и отредени. 9 (F)Но вие сте избран род, царско свещенство, свят народ; народ, който Бог придоби, за да възвестите величието на Онзи, Който ви е призовал от тъмнината в чудната Своя светлина. 10 (G)Вие, които някога не бяхте народ, сега сте Божий народ; които не познавахте Божията милост, сега бяхте помилвани.
Задълженията към властниците
11 (H)Възлюбени, моля ви като преселници и чужденци да отбягвате плътските желания, които воюват против душата. 12 (I)Поведението ви сред езичниците нека бъде добро, та когато ви оклеветяват като злосторници, щом видят добрите ви дела, да прославят Бога в деня на Неговото идване.
13 (J)И тъй, подчинявайте се, заради Господа, на всеки установен от хората порядък: било на цар като на върховна власт, 14 било на управници като на изпращани от него за наказание на злосторници и за похвала на добротворци. 15 Защото такава е Божията воля – с добри дела да накарате невежеството на безразсъдните хора да замлъкне. 16 (K)Живейте като свободни хора, но не като използвате свободата за прикритие на злото, а като Божии слуги. 17 (L)Почитайте всеки, обичайте братята по вяра, бойте се от Бога, почитайте царя!
Примерът на Христовото страдание
18 (M)Слуги, покорявайте се с много страхопочитание към господарите си – не само на добрите и снизходителните, но и на грубите. 19 Защото това има стойност – ако някой от знание за Божията воля понася скърби, като страда несправедливо. 20 Иначе каква похвала, ако търпите, когато ви бият заради престъпления? Но ако правите добро и страдате, тогава търпението ви[a] е заслуга пред Бога.
21 Вие за това сте и призовани, защото и Христос пострада за вас, като ви[b] остави пример, за да вървите по стъпките Му. 22 (N)Той не стори грях, нито устата Му изрече лъжа. 23 (O)Когато Го хулеха, Той не отвръщаше с хули; когато страдаше, не заплашваше, а поверяваше това на Праведния Съдия. 24 (P)Той Сам възнесе с тялото Си нашите грехове на кръстното дърво, за да бъдем мъртви за греховете и да живеем за правдата – чрез Неговата рана се изцелихте. 25 (Q)Защото бяхте като заблудени овце, но сега се завърнахте при Пастиря и Пазителя на вашите души.
1 Peter 2
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.

World English Bible
2 Putting away therefore all wickedness, all deceit, hypocrisies, envies, and all evil speaking, 2 as newborn babies, long for the pure spiritual milk, that with it you may grow, 3 if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is gracious. 4 Come to him, a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God, precious. 5 You also as living stones are built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. 6 Because it is contained in Scripture,
“Behold,[a] I lay in Zion a chief cornerstone, chosen and precious.
He who believes in him will not be disappointed.”(A)
7 For you who believe therefore is the honor, but for those who are disobedient,
“The stone which the builders rejected
has become the chief cornerstone,”(B)
8 and,
“a stumbling stone and a rock of offense.”(C)
For they stumble at the word, being disobedient, to which also they were appointed. 9 But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, that you may proclaim the excellence of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. 10 In the past, you were not a people, but now are God’s people, who had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.
11 Beloved, I beg you as foreigners and pilgrims to abstain from fleshly lusts which war against the soul, 12 having good behavior among the nations, so in that of which they speak against you as evildoers, they may see your good works and glorify God in the day of visitation.
13 Therefore subject yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake: whether to the king, as supreme, 14 or to governors, as sent by him for vengeance on evildoers and for praise to those who do well. 15 For this is the will of God, that by well-doing you should put to silence the ignorance of foolish men. 16 Live as free people, yet not using your freedom for a cloak of wickedness, but as bondservants of God.
17 Honor all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the king.
18 Servants, be in subjection to your masters with all respect, not only to the good and gentle, but also to the wicked. 19 For it is commendable if someone endures pain, suffering unjustly, because of conscience toward God. 20 For what glory is it if, when you sin, you patiently endure beating? But if when you do well, you patiently endure suffering, this is commendable with God. 21 For you were called to this, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving you[b] an example, that you should follow his steps, 22 who didn’t sin, “neither was deceit found in his mouth.”(D) 23 When he was cursed, he didn’t curse back. When he suffered, he didn’t threaten, but committed himself to him who judges righteously. 24 He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live to righteousness. You were healed by his wounds.[c] 25 For you were going astray like sheep; but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Overseer[d] of your souls.
