1 Petrusbrevet 2
Svenska Folkbibeln 2015
2 (A) Lägg därför bort all slags ondska, falskhet, hyckleri, avund och förtal. 2 (B) Längta som nyfödda barn efter den rena andliga mjölken så att ni genom den växer upp till frälsning, 3 när ni nu har smakat att Herren är god.[a]
Ett heligt prästerskap
4 (C) Kom till honom, den levande stenen, förkastad av människor men utvald och dyrbar inför Gud. 5 (D) Och låt er själva som levande stenar byggas upp till ett andligt hus, ett heligt prästerskap som ska bära fram andliga offer som Gud tar emot med glädje genom Jesus Kristus. 6 (E) Det står ju i Skriften: Se, jag lägger i Sion en utvald, dyrbar hörnsten, och den som tror på den ska aldrig komma på skam.[b]
7 (F) För er som tror är den alltså dyrbar, men för dem som inte tror har stenen som husbyggarna förkastade blivit en hörnsten,[c] 8 (G) en stötesten och en klippa till fall.[d] De stöter emot den därför att de inte lyder ordet. Så var det också bestämt om dem.
9 (H) Men ni är ett utvalt släkte, ett kungligt prästerskap, ett heligt folk, ett Guds eget folk för att förkunna hans härliga gärningar[e],[f] han som har kallat er från mörkret till sitt underbara ljus. 10 (I) Ni som förr inte var ett folk är nu Guds folk, ni som inte hade fått barmhärtighet[g] har nu fått barmhärtighet.
Ett nytt liv
11 (J) Mina älskade, jag uppmanar er som främlingar och gäster att hålla er borta från de köttsliga begären som för krig mot själen. 12 (K) Uppför er väl bland hedningarna, så att de som anklagar er för att vara onda ser era goda gärningar och prisar Gud den dag han besöker dem.
13 (L) Underordna er alla mänskliga myndigheter för Herrens skull, både kejsaren som högste härskare 14 och ståthållarna[h], som är sända av honom för att straffa dem som gör det onda och hedra dem som gör det goda. 15 (M) Det är Guds vilja att ni genom att göra gott ska tysta munnen på oförståndiga och okunniga människor. 16 (N) Ni är fria, men använd inte friheten som täckmantel för det onda utan för att tjäna Gud. 17 (O) Visa aktning för alla, älska era trossyskon, vörda Gud och ära kejsaren.
Kristus som föredöme och Frälsare
18 (P) Ni slavar, underordna er era herrar och visa dem all respekt, inte bara de goda och milda utan även de hårda[i]. 19 (Q) Det är en nåd[j] när någon är medveten om Gud och därför håller ut när han får lida oskyldigt. 20 (R) Vad är det värt för beröm om ni står ut med straff när ni syndar? Men om ni står ut med att lida när ni gör det goda, då är det en nåd inför Gud.
21 (S) Till detta är ni kallade. Kristus led i ert ställe och efterlämnade ett exempel åt er, för att ni ska följa i hans fotspår. 22 (T) Han hade inte begått någon synd, och inget svek fanns i hans mun.[k] 23 (U) När han blev hånad svarade han inte med hån, när han fick lida svarade han inte med hot, utan han överlämnade sin sak åt honom som dömer rättvist. 24 (V) Han bar våra synder i sin kropp upp på korsets trä, för att vi skulle dö bort från synderna och leva för rättfärdigheten. Genom hans sår är ni helade. 25 (W) Ni var som vilsna får, men nu har ni vänt om till era själars herde och vårdare[l].[m]

1 Peter 2
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
2 So be done with every trace of wickedness (depravity, malignity) and all deceit and insincerity (pretense, hypocrisy) and grudges (envy, jealousy) and slander and evil speaking of every kind.
2 Like newborn babies you should crave (thirst for, earnestly desire) the pure (unadulterated) spiritual milk, that by it you may be nurtured and grow unto [completed] salvation,
3 Since you have [already] tasted the goodness and kindness of the Lord.(A)
4 Come to Him [then, to that] Living Stone which men [a]tried and threw away, but which is chosen [and] precious in God’s sight.(B)
5 [Come] and, like living stones, be yourselves built [into] a spiritual house, for a holy (dedicated, consecrated) priesthood, to offer up [those] spiritual sacrifices [that are] acceptable and pleasing to God through Jesus Christ.
6 For thus it stands in Scripture: Behold, I am laying in Zion a chosen ([b]honored), precious chief Cornerstone, and he who believes in Him [who adheres to, trusts in, and relies on Him] shall never be [c]disappointed or put to shame.(C)
7 To you then who believe (who adhere to, trust in, and rely on Him) is the preciousness; but for those who disbelieve [it is true], The [very] Stone which the builders rejected has become the main Cornerstone,(D)
8 And, A Stone that will cause stumbling and a Rock that will give [men] offense; they stumble because they disobey and disbelieve [God’s] Word, as those [who reject Him] were destined (appointed) to do.
9 But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a dedicated nation, [God’s] own [d]purchased, special people, that you may set forth the wonderful deeds and display the virtues and perfections of Him Who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.(E)
10 Once you were not a people [at all], but now you are God’s people; once you were unpitied, but now you are pitied and have received mercy.(F)
11 Beloved, I implore you as aliens and strangers and exiles [in this world] to abstain from the sensual urges (the evil desires, the passions of the flesh, your lower nature) that wage war against the soul.
12 Conduct yourselves properly (honorably, righteously) among the Gentiles, so that, although they may slander you as evildoers, [yet] they may by witnessing your good deeds [come to] glorify God in the day of inspection [[e]when God shall look upon you wanderers as a pastor or shepherd looks over his flock].
13 Be submissive to every human institution and authority for the sake of the Lord, whether it be to the emperor as supreme,
14 Or to governors as sent by him to bring vengeance (punishment, justice) to those who do wrong and to encourage those who do good service.
15 For it is God’s will and intention that by doing right [your good and honest lives] should silence (muzzle, gag) the ignorant charges and ill-informed criticisms of foolish persons.
16 [Live] as free people, [yet] without employing your freedom as a pretext for wickedness; but [live at all times] as servants of God.
17 Show respect for all men [treat them honorably]. Love the brotherhood (the Christian fraternity of which Christ is the Head). Reverence God. Honor the emperor.
18 [You who are] household servants, be submissive to your masters with all [proper] respect, not only to those who are kind and considerate and reasonable, but also to those who are surly (overbearing, unjust, and crooked).
19 For one is regarded favorably (is approved, acceptable, and thankworthy) if, as in the sight of God, he endures the pain of unjust suffering.
20 [After all] what [f]kind of glory [is there in it] if, when you do wrong and are punished for it, you take it patiently? But if you bear patiently with suffering [which results] when you do right and that is undeserved, it is acceptable and pleasing to God.
21 For even to this were you called [it is inseparable from your vocation]. For Christ also suffered for you, leaving you [His personal] example, so that you should follow in His footsteps.
22 He was guilty of no sin, neither was deceit (guile) ever found on His lips.(G)
23 When He was reviled and insulted, He did not revile or offer insult in return; [when] He was abused and suffered, He made no threats [of vengeance]; but he trusted [Himself and everything] to Him Who judges fairly.
24 He personally bore our sins in His [own] body on the tree [g][as on an altar and offered Himself on it], that we might die (cease to exist) to sin and live to righteousness. By His wounds you have been healed.
25 For you were going astray like [so many] sheep, but now you have come back to the Shepherd and Guardian ([h]the Bishop) of your souls.(H)

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.
