The Latin Vulgate VUL
1 Therefore put ye away all malice, and all guile, and feignings, and envies, and all backbitings; [Therefore putting away all malice, and all guile, and simulations, or feignings, and envies, and all detractions;]
1
deponentes igitur omnem malitiam et omnem dolum et simulationes et invidias et omnes detractiones
2 as now born young children, reasonable, without guile, covet ye milk [of full teaching], that in it ye wax into health;
2
sicut modo geniti infantes rationale sine dolo lac concupiscite ut in eo crescatis in salutem
3 if nevertheless ye have tasted, that the Lord is sweet.
3
si gustastis quoniam dulcis Dominus
4 And approach ye to him, that is a living stone, and reproved of men [To whom ye going nigh, a quick stone, reproved soothly of men], but chosen of God, and honoured;
4
ad quem accedentes lapidem vivum ab hominibus quidem reprobatum a Deo autem electum honorificatum
5 and yourselves as quick stones be ye above builded [and yourselves as quick stones be above builded] into spiritual houses, and an holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.
5
et ipsi tamquam lapides vivi superaedificamini domus spiritalis sacerdotium sanctum offerre spiritales hostias acceptabiles Deo per Iesum Christum
6 For which thing the scripture saith, Lo! I shall set in Sion the highest corner stone, chosen and precious [For which thing the scripture holdeth, Lo! I shall put in Sion the highest stone, a corner stone, chosen, precious]; and he that shall believe in him, shall not be confounded.
6
propter quod continet in scriptura ecce pono in Sion lapidem summum angularem electum pretiosum et qui crediderit in eo non confundetur
7 Therefore honour to you that believe; but to men that believe not, the stone whom the builders reproved, this is made into the head of the corner;
7
vobis igitur honor credentibus non credentibus autem lapis quem reprobaverunt aedificantes hic factus est in caput anguli
8 and the stone of hurting, and the stone of stumbling, to them that offend to the word, neither believe it, in which they be set. [+and the stone of hurting, and the stone of offence, to them that offend by word, neither believe, in which and they be put.]
8
et lapis offensionis et petra scandali qui offendunt verbo nec credunt in quod et positi sunt
9 But ye be a chosen kin, a kingly priesthood, holy folk, a people of purchasing, that ye tell the virtues of him, that called you from darknesses into his wonderful light.
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 Which sometime were not a people of God, but now ye be the people of God; which had not mercy, but now ye have mercy.
10
qui aliquando non populus nunc autem populus Dei qui non consecuti misericordiam nunc autem misericordiam consecuti
11 Most dear, I beseech you, as comelings and pilgrims, to abstain you from fleshly desires, that fight against the soul;
11
carissimi obsecro tamquam advenas et peregrinos abstinere vos a carnalibus desideriis quae militant adversus animam
12 and have ye your conversation good among heathen men [having your conversation, or life, good among heathen men], that in that thing that they backbite of you, as of misdoers, they behold you of good works, and glorify God in the day of visitation.
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 Be ye subject to each creature of man, for God; either to the king, as to him that is higher in state [as precellent, or more worthy in state],
13
subiecti estote omni humanae creaturae propter Dominum sive regi quasi praecellenti
14 either to dukes, as to those that be sent of him to the vengeance of misdoers, and to the praising of good men [forsooth to the praising of good deeds, or good men].
14
sive ducibus tamquam ab eo missis ad vindictam malefactorum laudem vero bonorum
15 For so is the will of God, that ye do well, and make the unknowingness of unprudent men to be dumb. [For so is the will of God, that ye doing well, make the unknowingness of unwise men to be dumb.]
15
quia sic est voluntas Dei ut benefacientes obmutescere faciatis inprudentium hominum ignorantiam
16 As free men, and not as having freedom the covering of malice, but as the servants of God.
16
quasi liberi et non quasi velamen habentes malitiae libertatem sed sicut servi Dei
17 Honour ye all men, love ye brotherhood, dread ye God, honour ye the king.
17
omnes honorate fraternitatem diligite Deum timete regem honorificate
18 Servants, be ye subject in all dread to lords, not only to good and to mild [not only to good and mild], but also to tyrants.
18
servi subditi in omni timore dominis non tantum bonis et modestis sed etiam discolis
19 For this is grace, if for conscience of God any man suffereth heavinesses, and suffereth unjustly. [Forsooth this is grace, if for conscience of God any man suffereth sorrows, or heavinesses, suffering unjustly.]
19
haec est enim gratia si propter conscientiam Dei sustinet quis tristitias patiens iniuste
20 For what grace is it, if ye sin, and be buffeted, and suffer? But if ye do well, and suffer patiently, this is grace with God.
20
quae enim gloria est si peccantes et colaphizati suffertis sed si benefacientes et patientes sustinetis haec est gratia apud Deum
21 For to this thing ye be called. For also Christ suffered for us, and left ensample to you [leaving to you example], that ye follow the steps of him.
21
in hoc enim vocati estis quia et Christus passus est pro vobis vobis relinquens exemplum ut sequamini vestigia eius
22 Which did not sin, neither guile was found in his mouth.
22
qui peccatum non fecit nec inventus est dolus in ore ipsius
23 And when he was cursed, he cursed not [Which, when he was cursed, cursed not]; when he suffered, he menaced not; but he betook himself to him, that deemed him unjustly.
23
qui cum malediceretur non maledicebat cum pateretur non comminabatur tradebat autem iudicanti se iniuste
24 And he himself bare our sins in his body on a tree [Which he himself suffered, or bare, our sins in his body on the tree], that we be dead to sins, and live to rightwiseness, by whose wan wound ye be healed.
24
qui peccata nostra ipse pertulit in corpore suo super lignum ut peccatis mortui iustitiae viveremus cuius livore sanati estis
25 For ye were as sheep erring, but ye be now turned to the shepherd, and bishop of your souls.
25
eratis enim sicut oves errantes sed conversi estis nunc ad pastorem et episcopum animarum vestrarum
