2:1 [hgb] 所 以 你 们 既 除 去 一 切 的 恶 毒 （ 或 作 阴 毒 ） ， 诡 诈 ， 并 假 善 ， 嫉 妒 ， 和 一 切 毁 谤 的 话 ，
[kjv] wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings,
[bbe] so putting away all wrongdoing, and all tricks and deceits and envies and evil talk,
2:2 [hgb] 就 要 爱 慕 那 纯 净 的 灵 奶 ， 像 才 生 的 婴 孩 爱 慕 奶 一 样 ， 叫 你 们 因 此 渐 长 ， 以 致 得 救 。
[kjv] as newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:
[bbe] be full of desire for the true milk of the word, as babies at their mothers' breasts, so that you may go on to salvation;
2:3 [hgb] 你 们 若 尝 过 主 恩 的 滋 味 ， 就 必 如 此
[kjv] if so be ye have tasted that the lord is gracious.
[bbe] if you have had a taste of the grace of the lord:
2:4 [hgb] 主 乃 活 石 。 固 然 是 被 人 所 弃 的 ， 却 是 被 神 所 拣 选 所 宝 贵 的 。
[kjv] to whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of god, and precious,
[bbe] to whom you come, as to a living stone, not honoured by men, but of great and special value to god;
2:5 [hgb] 你 们 来 到 主 面 前 ， 也 就 像 活 石 ， 被 建 造 成 为 灵 宫 ， 作 圣 洁 的 祭 司 ， 借 着 耶 稣 基 督 奉 献 神 所 悦 纳 的 灵 祭 。
[kjv] 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.
[bbe] you, as living stones, are being made into a house of the spirit, a holy order of priests, making those offerings of the spirit which are pleasing to god through jesus christ.
2:6 [hgb] 因 为 经 上 说 ， 看 哪 ， 我 把 所 拣 选 所 宝 贵 的 房 角 石 ， 安 放 在 锡 安 。 信 靠 他 的 人 ， 必 不 至 于 羞 愧 。
[kjv] 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.
[bbe] because it is said in the writings, see, i am placing a keystone in zion, of great and special value; and the man who has faith in him will not be put to shame.
2:7 [hgb] 所 以 他 在 你 们 信 的 人 就 为 宝 贵 ， 在 那 不 信 的 人 有 话 说 ， 匠 人 所 弃 的 石 头 ， 已 作 了 房 角 的 头 块 石 头 。
[kjv] 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,
[bbe] and the value is for you who have faith; but it is said for those without faith, the very stone which the builders put on one side, was made the chief stone of the building;
2:8 [hgb] 又 说 ， 作 了 绊 脚 的 石 头 ， 跌 人 的 磐 石 。 他 们 既 不 顺 从 ， 就 在 道 理 上 绊 跌 。 （ 或 作 他 们 绊 跌 都 因 不 顺 从 道 理 ） 他 们 这 样 绊 跌 也 是 预 定 的 。
[kjv] 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.
[bbe] and, a stone of falling, a rock of trouble; the word is the cause of their fall, because they go against it, and this was the purpose of god.
2:9 [hgb] 惟 有 你 们 是 被 拣 选 的 族 类 ， 是 有 君 尊 的 祭 司 ， 是 圣 洁 的 国 度 ， 是 属 神 的 子 民 ， 要 叫 你 们 宣 扬 那 召 你 们 出 黑 暗 入 奇 妙 光 明 者 的 美 德 。
[kjv] 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:
[bbe] but you are a special people, a holy nation, priests and kings, a people given up completely to god, so that you may make clear the virtues of him who took you out of the dark into the light of heaven.
2:10 [hgb] 你 们 从 前 算 不 得 子 民 ， 现 在 却 作 了 神 的 子 民 。 从 前 未 曾 蒙 怜 恤 ， 现 在 却 蒙 了 怜 恤 。
[kjv] 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.
[bbe] in the past you were not a people, but now you are the people of god; then there was no mercy for you, but now mercy has been given to you.
2:11 [hgb] 亲 爱 的 弟 兄 阿 你 们 是 客 旅 ， 是 寄 居 的 。 我 劝 你 们 要 禁 戒 肉 体 的 私 欲 。 这 私 欲 是 与 灵 魂 争 战 的 。
[kjv] dearly beloved, i beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;
[bbe] my loved ones, i make this request with all my heart, that, as those for whom this world is a strange country, you will keep yourselves from the desires of the flesh which make war against the soul;
2:12 [hgb] 你 们 在 外 邦 人 中 ， 应 当 品 行 端 正 ， 叫 那 些 毁 谤 你 们 是 作 恶 的 ， 因 看 见 你 们 的 好 行 为 ， 便 在 鉴 察 的 日 子 （ 鉴 察 或 作 眷 顾 ） ， 归 荣 耀 给 神 。
[kjv] 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.
[bbe] being of good behaviour among the gentiles; so that though they say now that you are evil-doers, they may see your good works and give glory to god when he comes to be their judge.
2:13 [hgb] 你 们 为 主 的 缘 故 ， 要 顺 服 人 的 一 切 制 度 ， 或 是 在 上 的 君 王 ，
[kjv] submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the lord's sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme;
[bbe] keep all the laws of men because of the lord; those of the king, who is over all,
2:14 [hgb] 或 是 君 王 所 派 罚 恶 赏 善 的 臣 宰 。
[kjv] 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.
[bbe] and those of the rulers who are sent by him for the punishment of evil-doers and for the praise of those who do well.
2:15 [hgb] 因 为 神 的 旨 意 原 是 要 你 们 行 善 ， 可 以 堵 住 那 糊 涂 无 知 人 的 口 。
[kjv] for so is the will of god, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:
[bbe] because it is god's pleasure that foolish and narrow-minded men may be put to shame by your good behaviour:
2:16 [hgb] 你 们 虽 是 自 由 的 ， 却 不 可 借 着 自 由 遮 盖 恶 毒 （ 或 作 阴 毒 ） ， 总 要 作 神 的 仆 人 。
[kjv] as free, and not using your liberty for a cloke of maliciousness, but as the servants of god.
[bbe] as those who are free, not using your free position as a cover for wrongdoing, but living as the servants of god;
2:17 [hgb] 务 要 尊 敬 众 人 。 亲 爱 教 中 的 弟 兄 。 敬 畏 神 。 尊 敬 君 王 。
[kjv] honour all men. love the brotherhood. fear god. honour the king.
[bbe] have respect for all, loving the brothers, fearing god, honouring the king.
2:18 [hgb] 你 们 作 仆 人 的 ， 凡 事 要 存 敬 畏 的 心 顺 服 主 人 。 不 但 顺 服 那 善 良 温 和 的 ， 就 是 那 乖 僻 的 也 要 顺 服 。
[kjv] servants, be subject to your masters with all fear; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the froward.
[bbe] servants, take orders from your masters with all respect; not only if they are good and gentle, but even if they are bad-humoured.
2:19 [hgb] 倘 若 人 为 叫 良 心 对 得 住 神 ， 就 忍 受 冤 屈 的 苦 楚 ， 这 是 可 喜 爱 的 。
[kjv] for this is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward god endure grief, suffering wrongfully.
[bbe] for it is a sign of grace if a man, desiring to do right in the eyes of god, undergoes pain as punishment for something which he has not done.
2:20 [hgb] 你 们 若 因 犯 罪 受 责 打 ， 能 忍 耐 ， 有 什 么 可 夸 的 呢 ？ 但 你 们 若 因 行 善 受 苦 ， 能 忍 耐 ， 这 在 神 看 是 可 喜 爱 的 。
[kjv] 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.
[bbe] what credit is it if, when you have done evil, you take your punishment quietly? but if you are given punishment for doing right, and take it quietly, this is pleasing to god.
2:21 [hgb] 你 们 蒙 召 原 是 为 此 。 因 基 督 也 为 你 们 受 过 苦 ， 给 你 们 留 下 榜 样 ， 叫 你 们 跟 随 他 的 脚 踪 行 。
[kjv] for even hereunto were ye called: because christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:
[bbe] this is god's purpose for you: because jesus himself underwent punishment for you, giving you an example, so that you might go in his footsteps:
2:22 [hgb] 他 并 没 有 犯 罪 ， 口 里 也 没 有 诡 诈 。
[kjv] who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:
[bbe] who did no evil, and there was no deceit in his mouth:
2:23 [hgb] 他 被 骂 不 还 口 。 受 害 不 说 威 吓 的 话 。 只 将 自 己 交 托 那 按 公 义 审 判 人 的 主 。
[kjv] who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously:
[bbe] to sharp words he gave no sharp answer; when he was undergoing pain, no angry word came from his lips; but he put himself into the hands of the judge of righteousness:
2:24 [hgb] 他 被 挂 在 木 头 上 亲 身 担 当 了 我 们 的 罪 ， 使 我 们 既 然 在 罪 上 死 ， 就 得 以 在 义 上 活 。 因 他 受 的 鞭 伤 ， 你 们 便 得 了 医 治 。
[kjv] 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.
[bbe] he took our sins on himself, giving his body to be nailed on the tree, so that we, being dead to sin, might have a new life in righteousness, and by his wounds we have been made well.
2:25 [hgb] 你 们 从 前 好 像 迷 路 的 羊 。 如 今 却 归 到 你 们 灵 魂 的 牧 人 监 督 了 。
[kjv] for ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the shepherd and bishop of your souls.
[bbe] because, like sheep, you had gone out of the way; but now you have come back to him who keeps watch over your souls.
