1 Peter 2

The Message Bible MSG

1 So clean house! Make a clean sweep of malice and pretense, envy and hurtful talk.

2 Now, like infants at the breast, drink deep of God's pure kindness. Then you'll grow up mature and whole in God.

3 You've had a taste of God.

4 Welcome to the living Stone, the source of life. The workmen took one look and threw it out; God set it in the place of honor.

5 Present yourselves as building stones for the construction of a sanctuary vibrant with life, in which you'll serve as holy priests offering Christ-approved lives up to God.

6 The Scriptures provide precedent: Look! I'm setting a stone in Zion, a cornerstone in the place of honor. Whoever trusts in this stone as a foundation will never have cause to regret it.

7 To you who trust him, he's a Stone to be proud of, but to those who refuse to trust him, The stone the workmen threw out is now the chief foundation stone.

8 For the untrusting it's . . . a stone to trip over, a boulder blocking the way. They trip and fall because they refuse to obey, just as predicted.

9 But you are the ones chosen by God, chosen for the high calling of priestly work, chosen to be a holy people, God's instruments to do his work and speak out for him, to tell others of the night-and-day difference he made for you -

10 from nothing to something, from rejected to accepted.

11 Friends, this world is not your home, so don't make yourselves cozy in it. Don't indulge your ego at the expense of your soul.

12 Live an exemplary life among the natives so that your actions will refute their prejudices. Then they'll be won over to God's side and be there to join in the celebration when he arrives.

13 Make the Master proud of you by being good citizens. Respect the authorities, whatever their level;

14 they are God's emissaries for keeping order.

15 It is God's will that by doing good, you might cure the ignorance of the fools who think you're a danger to society.

16 Exercise your freedom by serving God, not by breaking the rules.

17 Treat everyone you meet with dignity. Love your spiritual family. Revere God. Respect the government.

18 You who are servants, be good servants to your masters - not just to good masters, but also to bad ones.

19 What counts is that you put up with it for God's sake when you're treated badly for no good reason.

20 There's no particular virtue in accepting punishment that you well deserve. But if you're treated badly for good behavior and continue in spite of it to be a good servant, that is what counts with God.

21 This is the kind of life you've been invited into, the kind of life Christ lived. He suffered everything that came his way so you would know that it could be done, and also know how to do it, step-by-step.

22 He never did one thing wrong, Not once said anything amiss.

23 They called him every name in the book and he said nothing back. He suffered in silence, content to let God set things right.

24 He used his servant body to carry our sins to the Cross so we could be rid of sin, free to live the right way. His wounds became your healing.

25 You were lost sheep with no idea who you were or where you were going. Now you're named and kept for good by the Shepherd of your souls.

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 deponentes igitur omnem malitiam et omnem dolum et simulationes et invidias et omnes detractiones

2 sicut modo geniti infantes rationale sine dolo lac concupiscite ut in eo crescatis in salutem

3 si gustastis quoniam dulcis Dominus

4 ad quem accedentes lapidem vivum ab hominibus quidem reprobatum a Deo autem electum honorificatum

5 et ipsi tamquam lapides vivi superaedificamini domus spiritalis sacerdotium sanctum offerre spiritales hostias acceptabiles Deo per Iesum Christum

6 propter quod continet in scriptura ecce pono in Sion lapidem summum angularem electum pretiosum et qui crediderit in eo non confundetur

7 vobis igitur honor credentibus non credentibus autem lapis quem reprobaverunt aedificantes hic factus est in caput anguli

8 et lapis offensionis et petra scandali qui offendunt verbo nec credunt in quod et positi sunt

9 vos autem genus electum regale sacerdotium gens sancta populus adquisitionis ut virtutes adnuntietis eius qui de tenebris vos vocavit in admirabile lumen suum

10 qui aliquando non populus nunc autem populus Dei qui non consecuti misericordiam nunc autem misericordiam consecuti

11 carissimi obsecro tamquam advenas et peregrinos abstinere vos a carnalibus desideriis quae militant adversus animam

12 conversationem vestram inter gentes habentes bonam ut in eo quod detractant de vobis tamquam de malefactoribus ex bonis operibus considerantes glorificent Deum in die visitationis

13 subiecti estote omni humanae creaturae propter Dominum sive regi quasi praecellenti

14 sive ducibus tamquam ab eo missis ad vindictam malefactorum laudem vero bonorum

15 quia sic est voluntas Dei ut benefacientes obmutescere faciatis inprudentium hominum ignorantiam

16 quasi liberi et non quasi velamen habentes malitiae libertatem sed sicut servi Dei

17 omnes honorate fraternitatem diligite Deum timete regem honorificate

18 servi subditi in omni timore dominis non tantum bonis et modestis sed etiam discolis

19 haec est enim gratia si propter conscientiam Dei sustinet quis tristitias patiens iniuste

20 quae enim gloria est si peccantes et colaphizati suffertis sed si benefacientes et patientes sustinetis haec est gratia apud Deum

21 in hoc enim vocati estis quia et Christus passus est pro vobis vobis relinquens exemplum ut sequamini vestigia eius

22 qui peccatum non fecit nec inventus est dolus in ore ipsius

23 qui cum malediceretur non maledicebat cum pateretur non comminabatur tradebat autem iudicanti se iniuste

24 qui peccata nostra ipse pertulit in corpore suo super lignum ut peccatis mortui iustitiae viveremus cuius livore sanati estis

25 eratis enim sicut oves errantes sed conversi estis nunc ad pastorem et episcopum animarum vestrarum
