DRC, VulgClementine, KJV - I Peter - 2

2:1  Wherefore laying away all malice and all guile and dissimulations and envies and all detractions,

2:1  Deponentes igitur omnem malitiam, et omnem dolum, et simulationes, et invidias, et omnes detractiones,

2:1  Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings,

2:2  As newborn babes, desire the rational milk without guile, that thereby you may grow unto salvation:

2:2  sicut modo geniti infantes, rationabile, sine dolo lac concupiscite : ut in eo crescatis in salutem :

2:2  As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:

2:3  If so be you have tasted that the Lord is sweet.

2:3  si tamen gustastis quoniam dulcis est Dominus.

2:3  If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious.

2:4  Unto whom coming, as to a living stone, rejected indeed by men but chosen and made honourable by God:

2:4  Ad quem accedentes lapidem vivum, ab hominibus quidem reprobatum, a Deo autem electum, et honorificatum :

2:4  To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious,

2:5  Be you also as living stones built up, a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.

2:5  et ipsi tamquam lapides vivi superædificamini, domus spiritualis, sacerdotium sanctum, offerre spirituales hostias, acceptabiles Deo per Jesum Christum.

2:5  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.

2:6  Wherefore it is said in the scripture: Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious. And he that shall believe in him shall not be confounded.

2:6  Propter quod continet Scriptura : Ecce pono in Sion lapidem summum angularem, electum, pretiosum : et qui crediderit in eum, non confundetur.

2:6  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.

2:7  To you therefore that believe, he is honour: but to them that believe not, the stone which the builders rejected, the same is made the head of the corner:

2:7  Vobis igitur honor credentibus : non credentibus autem lapis, quem reprobaverunt ædificantes : hic factus est in caput anguli,

2:7  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,

2:8  And a stone of stumbling and a rock of scandal, to them who stumble at the word, neither do believe, whereunto also they are set.

2:8  et lapis offensionis, et petra scandali, his qui offendunt verbo, nec credunt in quo et positi sunt.

2:8  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.

2:9  But you are a chosen generation, a kingly priesthood, a holy nation, a purchased people: that you may declare his virtues, who hath called you out of darkness into his marvelous light:

2:9  Vos autem genus electum, regale sacerdotium, gens sancta, populus acquisitionis : ut virtutes annuntietis ejus qui de tenebris vos vocavit in admirabile lumen suum.

2:9  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:

2:10  Who in times past were not a people: but are now the people of God. Who had not obtained mercy: but now have obtained mercy.

2:10  Qui aliquando non populus, nunc autem populus Dei : qui non consecuti misericordiam, nunc autem misericordiam consecuti.

2:10  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.

2:11  Dearly beloved, I beseech you, as strangers and pilgrims, to refrain yourselves from carnal desires which war against the soul,

2:11  Carissimi, obsecro vos tamquam advenas et peregrinos abstinere vos a carnalibus desideriis, quæ militant adversus animam,

2:11  Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;

2:12  Having your conversation good among the Gentiles: that whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may, by the good works which they shall behold in you, glorify God in the day of visitation.

2:12  conversationem vestram inter gentes habentes bonam : ut in eo quod detrectant de vobis tamquam de malefactoribus, ex bonis operibus vos considerantes, glorificent Deum in die visitationis.

2:12  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.

2:13  Be ye subject therefore to every human creature for God's sake: whether it be to the king as excelling,

2:13  Subjecti igitur estote omni humanæ creaturæ propter Deum : sive regi quasi præcellenti :

2:13  Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme;

2:14  Or to governors as sent by him for the punishment of evildoers and for the praise of the good.

2:14  sive ducibus tamquam ab eo missis ad vindictam malefactorum, laudem vero bonorum :

2:14  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.

2:15  For so is the will of God, that by doing well you may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:

2:15  quia sic est voluntas Dei, ut benefacientes obmutescere faciatis imprudentium hominum ignorantiam :

2:15  For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:

2:16  As free and not as making liberty a cloak for malice, but as the servants of God.

2:16  quasi liberi, et non quasi velamen habentes malitiæ libertatem, sed sicut servi Dei.

2:16  As free, and not using your liberty for a cloke of maliciousness, but as the servants of God.

2:17  Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king.

2:17  Omnes honorate : fraternitatem diligite : Deum timete : regem honorificate.

2:17  Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king.

2:18  Servants, be subject to your masters with all fear, not only to the good and gentle but also to the froward.

2:18  Servi, subditi estote in omni timore dominis, non tantum bonis et modestis, sed etiam dyscolis.

2:18  Servants, be subject to your masters with all fear; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the froward.

2:19  For this is thankworthy: if, for conscience towards God, a man endure sorrows, suffering wrongfully.

2:19  Hæc est enim gratia, si propter Dei conscientiam sustinet quis tristitias, patiens injuste.

2:19  For this is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully.

2:20  For what glory is it, if, committing sin and being buffeted for it, you endure? But if doing well you suffer patiently: this is thankworthy before God.

2:20  Quæ enim est gloria, si peccantes, et colaphizati suffertis ? sed si bene facientes patienter sustinetis, hæc est gratia apud Deum.

2:20  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.

2:21  For unto this are you called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving you an example that you should follow his steps.

2:21  In hoc enim vocati estis : quia et Christus passus est pro nobis, vobis relinquens exemplum ut sequamini vestigia ejus :

2:21  For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:

2:22  Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth.

2:22  qui peccatum non fecit, nec inventus est dolus in ore ejus :

2:22  Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:

2:23  Who, when he was reviled, did not revile: when he suffered, he threatened not, but delivered himself to him that judged him unjustly.

2:23  qui cum malediceretur, non maledicebat : cum pateretur, non comminabatur : tradebat autem judicanti se injuste :

2:23  Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously:

2:24  Who his own self bore our sins in his body upon the tree: that we, being dead to sins, should live to justice: by whose stripes you were healed.

2:24  qui peccata nostra ipse pertulit in corpore suo super lignum ; ut peccatis mortui, justitiæ vivamus : cujus livore sanati estis.

2:24  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.

2:25  For you were as sheep going astray: but you are now converted to the shepherd and bishop of your souls.

2:25  Eratis enim sicut oves errantes, sed conversi estis nunc ad pastorem, et episcopum animarum vestrarum.

2:25  For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.
