1 Por tanto, desechen toda malicia, todo engaño, hipocresías, envidias y toda clase de calumnia.
1 Putting away therefore all wickedness, all deceit, hypocrisies, envies, and all evil speaking,
2 Como niños recién nacidos, deseen la leche espiritual pura, para que por ella crezcan para salvación,
2 as newborn babies, long for the pure spiritual milk, that with it you may grow,
3 si es que han probado que el Señor es bueno.
3 if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is gracious.
4 Acérquense a él, la piedra viva, rechazada por los hombres, pero escogida y preciosa para Dios.
4 Come to him, a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God, precious.
5 Ustedes también, como piedras vivas, están siendo edificados como casa espiritual, para ser un sacerdocio santo y ofrecer sacrificios espirituales agradables a Dios por medio de Jesucristo.
5 You also as living stones are built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
6 Por eso dice la Escritura: Mira, pongo en Sion una piedra angular, escogida y preciosa; y el que cree en él no será avergonzado.
6 Because it is contained in Scripture, “Behold, I lay in Zion a chief cornerstone, chosen and precious. He who believes in him will not be disappointed.”
7 Para ustedes que creen, él es precioso. Pero para los que no creen: La piedra que los constructores rechazaron ha llegado a ser la piedra principal del edificio.
7 For you who believe therefore is the honor, but for those who are disobedient, “The stone which the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone,”
8 También es piedra de tropiezo y roca que hace caer. Ellos tropiezan porque desobedecen la palabra, y para eso estaban destinados.
8 and, “a stumbling stone and a rock of offense.” For they stumble at the word, being disobedient, to which also they were appointed.
9 Pero ustedes son linaje escogido, sacerdocio real, nación santa, pueblo adquirido por Dios, para anunciar las virtudes de aquel que los llamó de la oscuridad a su luz admirable.
9 But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, that you may proclaim the excellence of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.
10 Antes ustedes no eran pueblo, pero ahora son pueblo de Dios. Antes no habían recibido misericordia, pero ahora han recibido misericordia.
10 In the past, you were not a people, but now are God’s people, who had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.
11 Amados, les ruego como extranjeros y peregrinos que se aparten de los malos deseos de la carne, que hacen guerra contra el alma.
11 Beloved, I beg you as foreigners and pilgrims to abstain from fleshly lusts which war against the soul,
12 Mantengan una buena conducta entre los gentiles, para que, aunque los acusen de hacer el mal, al ver sus buenas obras glorifiquen a Dios en el día de la visitación.
12 having good behavior among the nations, so in that of which they speak against you as evildoers, they may see your good works and glorify God in the day of visitation.
13 Por causa del Señor, sométanse a toda autoridad humana: al rey, como autoridad superior,
13 Therefore subject yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake: whether to the king, as supreme,
14 y a los gobernadores, como enviados por él para castigar a los que hacen el mal y reconocer a los que hacen el bien.
14 or to governors, as sent by him for vengeance on evildoers and for praise to those who do well.
15 Porque esta es la voluntad de Dios: que haciendo el bien hagan callar la ignorancia de los hombres necios.
15 For this is the will of God, that by well-doing you should put to silence the ignorance of foolish men.
16 Vivan como libres, pero no usen su libertad como pretexto para hacer el mal. Más bien, vivan como siervos de Dios.
16 Live as free people, yet not using your freedom for a cloak of wickedness, but as bondservants of God.
17 Honren a todos. Amen a los hermanos. Teman a Dios. Honren al rey.
17 Honor all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the king.
18 Siervos, sométanse a sus amos con todo respeto, no solo a los buenos y amables, sino también a los difíciles.
18 Servants, be in subjection to your masters with all respect, not only to the good and gentle, but also to the wicked.
19 Porque esto es digno de aprobación: que alguien, por tener conciencia delante de Dios, soporte sufrimientos padeciendo injustamente.
19 For it is commendable if someone endures pain, suffering unjustly, because of conscience toward God.
20 Pues ¿qué mérito hay si, cuando pecan y son golpeados, lo soportan con paciencia? Pero si hacen el bien y sufren por ello, y lo soportan con paciencia, esto agrada a Dios.
20 For what glory is it if, when you sin, you patiently endure beating? But if when you do well, you patiently endure suffering, this is commendable with God.
21 Para esto fueron llamados, porque también Cristo sufrió por ustedes, dejándoles ejemplo para que sigan sus pasos.
21 For you were called to this, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving you an example, that you should follow his steps,
22 Él no cometió pecado, ni se halló engaño en su boca.
22 who didn’t sin, “neither was deceit found in his mouth.”
23 Cuando lo insultaban, no respondía con insultos. Cuando sufría, no amenazaba, sino que se encomendaba al que juzga con justicia.
23 When he was cursed, he didn’t curse back. When he suffered, he didn’t threaten, but committed himself to him who judges righteously.
24 Él mismo llevó nuestros pecados en su cuerpo sobre el madero, para que nosotros, habiendo muerto al pecado, vivamos para la justicia. Por sus heridas ustedes fueron sanados.
24 He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live to righteousness. You were healed by his wounds.
25 Porque ustedes eran como ovejas descarriadas, pero ahora han vuelto al Pastor y Guardián de sus almas.
25 For you were going astray like sheep; but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
Let us then continually persevere in our hope, and the earnest of our righteousness, which is Jesus Christ, "who bore our sins in His own body on the tree," "who did no sin, neither was guile found in His mouth," but endured all things for us, that we might live in Him.
And for this reason Peter says "that we have not liberty as a cloak of maliciousness," but as the means of testing and evidencing faith.
25. But you, "chosen generation, you weak things of the world," who have forsaken all things that you might "follow the Lord," go after Him, and "confound the things which are mighty;" go after Him, ye beautiful feet, and shine in the firmament, that the heavens may declare His glory, dividing between the light of the perfect, though not as …

He is called a Stone, not a lifeless stone, cut out by men's hands, but a chief corner-stone, on whom whosoever believeth shall not be put to shame.
Read in context · Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers, series 2, vol. 7 (1894)
When you can do good, defer it not, because "alms delivers from death." Be all of you subject one to another "having your conduct blameless among the Gentiles," that ye may both receive praise for your good works, and the Lord may not be blasphemed through you.
