Clementine Vulgate, 1598
King James Version with Apocrypha
1Deponentes igitur omnem malitiam, et omnem dolum, et simulationes, et invidias, et omnes detractiones,
1Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings,
2sicut modo geniti infantes, rationabile, sine dolo lac concupiscite: ut in eo crescatis in salutem:
2As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:
3si tamen gustastis quoniam dulcis est Dominus.
3If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious.
4Ad quem accedentes lapidem vivum, ab hominibus quidem reprobatum, a Deo autem electum, et honorificatum:
4To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious,
5et ipsi tamquam lapides vivi superædificamini, domus spiritualis, sacerdotium sanctum, offerre spirituales hostias, acceptabiles Deo per Jesum Christum.
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.
6Propter quod continet Scriptura: Ecce pono in Sion lapidem summum angularem, electum, pretiosum: et qui crediderit in eum, non confundetur.
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.
7Vobis igitur honor credentibus: non credentibus autem lapis, quem reprobaverunt ædificantes: hic factus est in caput anguli,
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,
8et lapis offensionis, et petra scandali, his qui offendunt verbo, nec credunt in quo et positi sunt.
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.
9Vos autem genus electum, regale sacerdotium, gens sancta, populus acquisitionis: ut virtutes annuntietis ejus qui de tenebris vos vocavit in admirabile lumen suum.
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:
10Qui aliquando non populus, nunc autem populus Dei: qui non consecuti misericordiam, nunc autem misericordiam consecuti.
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.
11Carissimi, obsecro vos tamquam advenas et peregrinos abstinere vos a carnalibus desideriis, quæ militant adversus animam,
11Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;
12conversationem 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.
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.
13Subjecti igitur estote omni humanæ creaturæ propter Deum: sive regi quasi præcellenti:
13Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme;
14sive ducibus tamquam ab eo missis ad vindictam malefactorum, laudem vero bonorum:
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.
15quia sic est voluntas Dei, ut benefacientes obmutescere faciatis imprudentium hominum ignorantiam:
15For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:
16quasi liberi, et non quasi velamen habentes malitiæ libertatem, sed sicut servi Dei.
16As free, and not using your liberty for a cloke of maliciousness, but as the servants of God.
17Omnes honorate: fraternitatem diligite: Deum timete: regem honorificate.
17Honour all men . Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king.
18Servi, subditi estote in omni timore dominis, non tantum bonis et modestis, sed etiam dyscolis.
18Servants, be subject to your masters with all fear; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the froward.
19Hæc est enim gratia, si propter Dei conscientiam sustinet quis tristitias, patiens injuste.
19For this is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully.
20Quæ enim est gloria, si peccantes, et colaphizati suffertis? sed si bene facientes patienter sustinetis, hæc est gratia apud Deum.
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.
21In hoc enim vocati estis: quia et Christus passus est pro nobis, vobis relinquens exemplum ut sequamini vestigia ejus:
21For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:
22qui peccatum non fecit, nec inventus est dolus in ore ejus:
22Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:
23qui cum malediceretur, non maledicebat: cum pateretur, non comminabatur: tradebat autem judicanti se injuste:
23Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously:
24qui peccata nostra ipse pertulit in corpore suo super lignum; ut peccatis mortui, justitiæ vivamus: cujus livore sanati estis.
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.
25Eratis enim sicut oves errantes, sed conversi estis nunc ad pastorem, et episcopum animarum vestrarum.
25For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.
