1 Pierre 2
Nouvelle Edition de Genève – NEG1979
Jésus-Christ, la pierre angulaire
2 Rejetant donc toute méchanceté et toute ruse, la dissimulation, l’envie, et toute médisance, 2 désirez, comme des enfants nouveau-nés, le lait spirituel et pur, afin que par lui vous croissiez pour le salut, 3 si vous avez goûté que le Seigneur est bon[a].
4 Approchez-vous de lui, pierre vivante, rejetée par les hommes, mais choisie et précieuse devant Dieu; 5 et vous-mêmes, comme des pierres vivantes, édifiez-vous pour former une maison spirituelle, un saint sacerdoce, afin d’offrir des victimes spirituelles, agréables à Dieu par Jésus-Christ. 6 Car il est dit dans l’Ecriture:
Voici, je mets en Sion une pierre angulaire, choisie, précieuse;
Et celui qui croit en elle ne sera point confus[b].
7 L’honneur est donc pour vous, qui croyez. Mais, pour les incrédules,
La pierre qu’ont rejetée ceux qui bâtissaient
Est devenue la principale de l’angle[c],
Et une pierre d’achoppement
Et un rocher de scandale[d].
8 Ils s’y heurtent pour n’avoir pas cru à la parole, et c’est à cela qu’ils sont destinés. 9 Vous, au contraire, vous êtes une race élue, un sacerdoce royal, une nation sainte, un peuple acquis[e], afin que vous annonciez les vertus de celui qui vous a appelés des ténèbres à son admirable lumière, 10 vous qui autrefois n’étiez pas un peuple, et qui maintenant êtes le peuple de Dieu, vous qui n’aviez pas obtenu miséricorde, et qui maintenant avez obtenu miséricorde[f].
La vie chrétienne pratique
11 Bien-aimés, je vous exhorte, comme étrangers et voyageurs sur la terre[g], à vous abstenir des convoitises charnelles qui font la guerre à l’âme. 12 Ayez au milieu des païens une bonne conduite, afin que, là même où ils vous calomnient comme si vous étiez des malfaiteurs, ils remarquent vos bonnes œuvres, et glorifient Dieu, au jour où il les visitera.
13 Soyez soumis, à cause du Seigneur, à toute autorité établie parmi les hommes, soit au roi comme souverain, 14 soit aux gouverneurs comme envoyés par lui pour punir les malfaiteurs et pour approuver les gens de bien. 15 Car c’est la volonté de Dieu qu’en pratiquant le bien vous réduisiez au silence les hommes ignorants et insensés, 16 étant libres, sans faire de la liberté un voile qui couvre la méchanceté, mais agissant comme des serviteurs de Dieu. 17 Honorez tout le monde; aimez les frères; craignez Dieu; honorez le roi.
18 Serviteurs, soyez soumis en toute crainte à vos maîtres, non seulement à ceux qui sont bons et doux, mais aussi à ceux qui sont d’un caractère difficile. 19 Car c’est une grâce de supporter des afflictions par motif de conscience envers Dieu, quand on souffre injustement. 20 En effet, quelle gloire y a-t-il à supporter de mauvais traitements pour avoir commis des fautes? Mais si vous supportez la souffrance lorsque vous faites ce qui est bien, c’est une grâce devant Dieu. 21 Et c’est à cela que vous avez été appelés, parce que Christ aussi a souffert pour vous, vous laissant un exemple, afin que vous suiviez ses traces,
22 Lui qui n’a point commis de péché,
Et dans la bouche duquel il ne s’est point trouvé de fraude[h];
23 lui qui, injurié, ne rendait point d’injures, maltraité, ne faisait point de menaces, mais s’en remettait à celui qui juge justement; 24 lui qui a porté lui-même nos péchés en son corps sur le bois, afin que morts aux péchés nous vivions pour la justice; lui par les meurtrissures duquel vous avez été guéris[i]. 25 Car vous étiez comme des brebis errantes. Mais maintenant vous êtes retournés vers le berger et le gardien de vos âmes.

As Living Stones, God’s Chosen Family
2 Therefore, (A)laying aside all [a]malice and all deceit and [b]hypocrisy and [c]envy and all [d](B)slander, 2 (C)like newborn babies, long for the [e](D)pure [f]milk of the word, so that by it you may (E)grow [g]in respect to salvation, 3 if you have (F)tasted [h](G)the kindness of the [i]Lord.
4 And coming to Him as to a living stone which has been (H)rejected by men, but is [j]choice and precious in the sight of God, 5 (I)you also, as living stones, [k]are being built up as a (J)spiritual house for a holy (K)priesthood, to (L)offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. 6 For this is contained in [l]Scripture:
“(M)Behold, I lay in Zion a choice stone, a (N)precious corner stone,
And he who believes upon [m]Him will not be put to shame.”
7 (O)This precious value, then, is for you who believe; but for those who disbelieve,
8 and,
“(R)A stone of stumbling and a rock of offense.”
(S)They stumble because they are disobedient to the word, (T)and to this stumbling they were also appointed.
9 But you are (U)a chosen family, a royal (V)priesthood, a (W)holy nation, (X)a people for God’s own possession, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you (Y)out of darkness into His marvelous light; 10 (Z)for you once were not a people, but now you are the people of God; you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.
11 (AA)Beloved, (AB)I urge you as (AC)sojourners and exiles to abstain from (AD)fleshly lusts which wage (AE)war against the soul, 12 (AF)by keeping your conduct excellent among the Gentiles, so that in the thing which they (AG)slander you as evildoers, they may [n]because of your good works, as they observe them, (AH)glorify God (AI)in the day of [o]visitation.
Be Subject to Authority
13 (AJ)Be subject for the sake of the Lord to every human institution, whether to a king as the one in authority, 14 or to governors as sent [p]by him (AK)for the punishment of evildoers and the (AL)praise of those who do good. 15 For [q](AM)such is the will of God that by doing good you may (AN)silence the ignorance of foolish men. 16 Act as (AO)free people, and [r]do not use your freedom as a covering for evil, but use it as (AP)slaves of God. 17 (AQ)Honor all people, (AR)love the [s]brethren, (AS)fear God, (AT)honor the [t]king.
18 (AU)Servants, be subject to your masters with all fear, not only to those who are good and (AV)considerate, but also to those who are [u]crooked. 19 For this finds [v]favor, if for the sake of (AW)conscience toward God a person bears up under sorrows when suffering unrighteously. 20 For what credit is there if, when you sin and are harshly treated, you endure? But if (AX)when you do good and suffer for it, you endure, this finds favor with God.
Christ, Our Example
21 For to this (AY)you have been called, (AZ)since Christ also suffered for you, leaving you (BA)an example that you should follow in His steps, 22 who (BB)did no sin, nor was any deceit found in His mouth; 23 who being (BC)reviled, was not reviling in return; while suffering, He was uttering no threats, but kept entrusting Himself to Him who judges righteously. 24 Who Himself [w](BD)bore our sins in His body on the (BE)tree, so that (BF)having died to [x]sin, we might live to righteousness; (BG)by His [y]wounds you were (BH)healed. 25 For you were (BI)continually straying like sheep, but now you have returned to the (BJ)Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.

Conferenza Episcopale Italiana
2 Deposta dunque ogni malizia e ogni frode e ipocrisia, le gelosie e ogni maldicenza, 2 come bambini appena nati bramate il puro latte spirituale, per crescere con esso verso la salvezza: 3 se davvero avete gia gustato come è buono il Signore.
Il sacerdozio nuovo
4 Stringendovi a lui, pietra viva, rigettata dagli uomini, ma scelta e preziosa davanti a Dio, 5 anche voi venite impiegati come pietre vive per la costruzione di un edificio spirituale, per un sacerdozio santo, per offrire sacrifici spirituali graditi a Dio, per mezzo di Gesù Cristo. 6 Si legge infatti nella Scrittura:
Ecco io pongo in Sion
una pietra angolare, scelta, preziosa
e chi crede in essa non resterà confuso.
7 Onore dunque a voi che credete; ma per gli increduli
la pietra che i costruttori hanno scartato
è divenuta la pietra angolare, 
8 sasso d'inciampo e pietra di scandalo.
Loro v'inciampano perché non credono alla parola; a questo sono stati destinati. 9 Ma voi siete la stirpe eletta, il sacerdozio regale, la nazione santa, il popolo che Dio si è acquistato perché proclami le opere meravigliose di lui che vi ha chiamato dalle tenebre alla sua ammirabile luce; 10 voi, che un tempo eravate non-popolo, ora invece siete il popolo di Dio; voi, un tempo esclusi dalla misericordia, ora invece avete ottenuto misericordia.
Obblighi dei cristiani: tra i pagani
11 Carissimi, io vi esorto come stranieri e pellegrini ad astenervi dai desideri della carne che fanno guerra all'anima. 12 La vostra condotta tra i pagani sia irreprensibile, perché mentre vi calunniano come malfattori, al vedere le vostre buone opere giungano a glorificare Dio nel giorno del giudizio.
Verso le autorità
13 State sottomessi ad ogni istituzione umana per amore del Signore: sia al re come sovrano, 14 sia ai governatori come ai suoi inviati per punire i malfattori e premiare i buoni. 15 Perché questa è la volontà di Dio: che, operando il bene, voi chiudiate la bocca all'ignoranza degli stolti. 16 Comportatevi come uomini liberi, non servendovi della libertà come di un velo per coprire la malizia, ma come servitori di Dio.
17 Onorate tutti, amate i vostri fratelli, temete Dio, onorate il re.
Verso i padroni esigenti
18 Domestici, state soggetti con profondo rispetto ai vostri padroni, non solo a quelli buoni e miti, ma anche a quelli difficili. 19 E' una grazia per chi conosce Dio subire afflizioni, soffrendo ingiustamente; 20 che gloria sarebbe infatti sopportare il castigo se avete mancato? Ma se facendo il bene sopporterete con pazienza la sofferenza, ciò sarà gradito davanti a Dio. 21 A questo infatti siete stati chiamati, poichè anche Cristo patì per voi, lasciandovi un esempio, perché ne seguiate le orme: 22 egli non commise peccato e non si trovò inganno sulla sua bocca, 23 oltraggiato non rispondeva con oltraggi, e soffrendo non minacciava vendetta, ma rimetteva la sua causa a colui che giudica con giustizia. 24 Egli portò i nostri peccati nel suo corpo sul legno della croce, perché, non vivendo più per il peccato, vivessimo per la giustizia; 25 dalle sue piaghe siete stati guariti. Eravate erranti come pecore, ma ora siete tornati al pastore e guardiano delle vostre anime.
1 Peter 2
New International Version
2 Therefore, rid yourselves(A) of all malice and all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and slander(B) of every kind. 2 Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk,(C) so that by it you may grow up(D) in your salvation, 3 now that you have tasted that the Lord is good.(E)
The Living Stone and a Chosen People
4 As you come to him, the living Stone(F)—rejected by humans but chosen by God(G) and precious to him— 5 you also, like living stones, are being built(H) into a spiritual house[a](I) to be a holy priesthood,(J) offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.(K) 6 For in Scripture it says:
“See, I lay a stone in Zion,
    a chosen and precious cornerstone,(L)
and the one who trusts in him
    will never be put to shame.”[b](M)
7 Now to you who believe, this stone is precious. But to those who do not believe,(N)
8 and,
They stumble because they disobey the message—which is also what they were destined for.(R)
9 But you are a chosen people,(S) a royal priesthood,(T) a holy nation,(U) God’s special possession,(V) that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.(W) 10 Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God;(X) once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.
Living Godly Lives in a Pagan Society
11 Dear friends,(Y) I urge you, as foreigners and exiles,(Z) to abstain from sinful desires,(AA) which wage war against your soul.(AB) 12 Live such good lives among the pagans that, though they accuse you of doing wrong, they may see your good deeds(AC) and glorify God(AD) on the day he visits us.
13 Submit yourselves for the Lord’s sake to every human authority:(AE) whether to the emperor, as the supreme authority, 14 or to governors, who are sent by him to punish those who do wrong(AF) and to commend those who do right.(AG) 15 For it is God’s will(AH) that by doing good you should silence the ignorant talk of foolish people.(AI) 16 Live as free people,(AJ) but do not use your freedom as a cover-up for evil;(AK) live as God’s slaves.(AL) 17 Show proper respect to everyone, love the family of believers,(AM) fear God, honor the emperor.(AN)
18 Slaves, in reverent fear of God submit yourselves to your masters,(AO) not only to those who are good and considerate,(AP) but also to those who are harsh. 19 For it is commendable if someone bears up under the pain of unjust suffering because they are conscious of God.(AQ) 20 But how is it to your credit if you receive a beating for doing wrong and endure it? But if you suffer for doing good and you endure it, this is commendable before God.(AR) 21 To this(AS) you were called,(AT) because Christ suffered for you,(AU) leaving you an example,(AV) that you should follow in his steps.
23 When they hurled their insults at him,(AY) he did not retaliate; when he suffered, he made no threats.(AZ) Instead, he entrusted himself(BA) to him who judges justly.(BB) 24 “He himself bore our sins”(BC) in his body on the cross,(BD) so that we might die to sins(BE) and live for righteousness; “by his wounds you have been healed.”(BF) 25 For “you were like sheep going astray,”[f](BG) but now you have returned to the Shepherd(BH) and Overseer of your souls.(BI)

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.
