1Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings,2As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:3If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious.4To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious,5Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.6Wherefore 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.7Unto 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,8And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.9But 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:10Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.11Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;12Having 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.13Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme;14Or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well.15For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:16As free, and not using your liberty for a cloke of maliciousness, but as the servants of God.17Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king.18Servants, be subject to your masters with all fear; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the froward.19For this is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully.20For 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.21For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:22Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:23Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously:24Who 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.25For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.

بيت الله الروحي والشعب المقدّس

1فَاطْرَحُوا كُلَّ خُبْثٍ وَكُلَّ مَكْرٍ وَالرِّيَاءَ وَالْحَسَدَ وَكُلَّ مَذَمَّةٍ2وَكَأَطْفَالٍ مَوْلُودِينَ الآنَ اشْتَهَوْا اللَّبَنَ الْعَقْلِيَّ الْعَدِيمَ الْغِشِّ لِكَيْ تَنْمُوا بِهِ،3إِنْ كُنْتُمْ قَدْ ذُقْتُمْ أَنَّ الرَّبَّ صَالِحٌ.4الَّذِي إِذْ تَأْتُونَ إِلَيْهِ حَجَراً حَيّاً، مَرْفُوضاً مِنَ النَّاسِ وَلَكِنْ مُخْتَارٌ مِنَ اللهِ كَرِيمٌ،5كُونُوا أَنْتُمْ أَيْضاً مَبْنِيِّينَ كَحِجَارَةٍ حَيَّةٍ، بَيْتاً رُوحِيّاً، كَهَنُوتاً مُقَدَّساً، لِتَقْدِيمِ ذَبَائِحَ رُوحِيَّةٍ مَقْبُولَةٍ عِنْدَ اللهِ بِيَسُوعَ المَسِيحِ.6لِذَلِكَ يُتَضَمَّنُ أَيْضاً فِي الْكِتَابِ: "هَئَنَذَا أَضَعُ فِي صِهْيَوْنَ حَجَرَ زَاوِيَةٍ مُخْتَاراً كَرِيماً، وَالَّذِي يُؤْمِنُ بِهِ لَنْ يُخْزَى".7فَلَكُمْ أَنْتُمُ، الَّذِينَ تُؤْمِنُونَ، الْكَرَامَةُ، وَأَمَّا لِلَّذِينَ لاَ يُطِيعُونَ فَـ "الْحَجَرُ الَّذِي رَفَضَهُ الْبَنَّاؤُونَ هُوَ قَدْ صَارَ رَأْسَ الزَّاوِيَةِ8وَحَجَرَ صَدْمَةٍ وَصَخْرَةَ عَثْرَةٍ"، الَّذِينَ يَعْثُرُونَ غَيْرَ طَائِعِينَ لِلْكَلِمَةِ الأَمْرُ الَّذِي جُعِلُوا لَهُ.9وَأَمَّا أَنْتُمْ فَجِنْسٌ مُخْتَارٌ وَكَهَنُوتٌ مُلُوكِيٌّ، أُمَّةٌ مُقَدَّسَةٌ، شَعْبُ اقْتِنَاءٍ، لِكَيْ تُخْبِرُوا بِفَضَائِلِ الَّذِي دَعَاكُمْ مِنَ الظُّلْمَةِ إِلَى نُورِهِ الْعَجِيبِ،10الَّذِينَ قَبْلاً لَمْ تَكُونُوا شَعْباً وَأَمَّا الآنَ فَأَنْتُمْ شَعْبُ اللهِ، الَّذِينَ كُنْتُمْ غَيْرَ مَرْحُومِينَ وَأَمَّا الآنَ فَمَرْحُومُونَ.

المسيحي والأعمال الحسنة

11أَيُّهَا الأَحِبَّاءُ، أَطْلُبُ إِلَيْكُمْ كَغُرَبَاءَ وَنُزَلاَءَ أَنْ تَمْتَنِعُوا عَنِ الشَّهَوَاتِ الْجَسَدِيَّةِ الَّتِي تُحَارِبُ النَّفْسَ12وَأَنْ تَكُونَ سِيرَتُكُمْ بَيْنَ الأُمَمِ حَسَنَةً، لِكَيْ يَكُونُوا، فِي مَا يَفْتَرُونَ عَلَيْكُمْ كَفَاعِلِي شَرٍّ، يُمَجِّدُونَ اللهَ فِي يَوْمِ الاِفْتِقَادِ مِنْ أَجْلِ أَعْمَالِكُمُ الْحَسَنَةِ الَّتِي يُلاَحِظُونَهَا.13فَاخْضَعُوا لِكُلِّ تَرْتِيبٍ بَشَرِيٍّ مِنْ أَجْلِ الرَّبِّ، إِنْ كَانَ لِلْمَلِكِ فَكَمَنْ هُوَ فَوْقَ الْكُلِّ14أَوْ لِلْوُلاَةِ فَكَمُرْسَلِينَ مِنْهُ لِلاِنْتِقَامِ مِنْ فَاعِلِي الشَّرِّ وَلِلْمَدْحِ لِفَاعِلِي الْخَيْرِ.15لأَنَّ هَكَذَا هِيَ مَشِيئَةُ اللهِ، أَنْ تَفْعَلُوا الْخَيْرَ فَتُسَكِّتُوا جَهَالَةَ النَّاسِ الأَغْبِيَاءِ،16كَأَحْرَارٍ وَلَيْسَ كَالَّذِينَ الْحُرِّيَّةُ عِنْدَهُمْ سُتْرَةٌ لِلشَّرِّ، بَلْ كَعَبِيدِ اللهِ.17أَكْرِمُوا الْجَمِيعَ، أَحِبُّوا الإِخْوَةَ، خَافُوا اللهَ، أَكْرِمُوا المَلِكَ.

الخضوع لله من أجل ضميرٍ صالحٍ

18أَيُّهَا الْخُدَّامُ، كُونُوا خَاضِعِينَ بِكُلِّ هَيْبَةٍ لِلسَّادَةِ، لَيْسَ لِلصَّالِحِينَ المُتَرَفِّقِينَ فَقَطْ بَلْ لِلْعُنَفَاءِ أَيْضاً.19لأَنَّ هَذَا فَضْلٌ إِنْ كَانَ أَحَدٌ مِنْ أَجْلِ ضَمِيرٍ نَحْوَ اللهِ يَحْتَمِلُ أَحْزَاناً مُتَأَلِّماً بِالظُّلْمِ.20لأَنَّهُ أَيُّ مَجْدٍ هُوَ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ تُلْطَمُونَ مُخْطِئِينَ فَتَصْبِرُونَ؟ بَلْ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ تَتَأَلَّمُونَ عَامِلِينَ الْخَيْرَ فَتَصْبِرُونَ، فَهَذَا فَضْلٌ عِنْدَ اللهِ.21لأَنَّكُمْ لِهَذَا دُعِيتُمْ، فَإِنَّ المَسِيحَ أَيْضاً تَأَلَّمَ لأَجْلِنَا تَارِكاً لَنَا مِثَالاً لِكَيْ تَتَّبِعُوا خُطُوَاتِهِ،22الَّذِي لَمْ يَفْعَلْ خَطِيَّةً وَلاَ وُجِدَ فِي فَمِهِ مَكْرٌ،23الَّذِي إِذْ شُتِمَ لَمْ يَكُنْ يَشْتِمُ عِوَضاً وَإِذْ تَأَلَّمَ لَمْ يَكُنْ يُهَدِّدُ بَلْ كَانَ يُسَلِّمُ لِمَنْ يَقْضِي بِعَدْلٍ،24الَّذِي حَمَلَ هُوَ نَفْسُهُ خَطَايَانَا فِي جَسَدِهِ عَلَى الْخَشَبَةِ لِكَيْ نَمُوتَ عَنِ الْخَطَايَا فَنَحْيَا لِلْبِرِّ، الَّذِي بِجَلْدَتِهِ شُفِيتُمْ.25لأَنَّكُمْ كُنْتُمْ كَخِرَافٍ ضَالَّةٍ لَكِنَّكُمْ رَجَعْتُمُ الآنَ إِلَى رَاعِي نُفُوسِكُمْ وَأُسْقُفِهَا.
