1 Por lo tanto, dejen de hacer toda clase de mal, todo engaño, hipocresía, envidias y chismes.
1 Putting away therefore all wickedness, all deceit, hypocrisies, envies, and all evil speaking,
2 Como niños recién nacidos busquen con ansias la leche pura de la palabra. Así, por medio de ella crecerán en su salvación,
2 as newborn babies, long for the pure spiritual milk, that with it you may grow,
3 ahora que han probado lo bueno que es el Señor.
3 if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is gracious.
4 Acérquense a Cristo, que es la Piedra viva que los seres humanos despreciaron pero que Dios escogió y es preciosa para él. De este modo,
4 Come to him, a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God, precious.
5 también ustedes son piedras vivas con las que se está edificando una casa espiritual. Así llegan a ser un sacerdocio santo, para que le ofrezcan a Dios sacrificios espirituales por medio de Jesucristo. Estos sacrificios a él le agradan.
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 Como dice la Escritura: «Yo pongo en Sion una piedra que es la principal, escogida y preciosa, y el que confíe en ella jamás será defraudado».
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 los creyentes, esta piedra es preciosa. Pero para los que no creen: «La piedra que los constructores despreciaron ha llegado a ser la piedra más importante».
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 Y también: «Es una piedra con la cual tropezarán y una roca que hará que caigan». Tropiezan porque no obedecen la palabra, ya que para ello 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 una familia escogida, son sacerdotes reales y son una nación santa. Son un pueblo que Dios compró para que anuncien sus obras extraordinarias; él fue quien los llamó de las tinieblas a su luz maravillosa.
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 Ustedes antes ni siquiera eran pueblo, pero ahora son el pueblo de Dios; antes no habían tenido compasión de ustedes, pero ahora ya les tienen compasión.
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 Queridos hermanos, les pido, como si ustedes fueran extranjeros y estuvieran de paso por este mundo, que se mantengan lejos de los malos deseos que luchan contra la vida.
11 Beloved, I beg you as foreigners and pilgrims to abstain from fleshly lusts which war against the soul,
12 Vivan entre los que no son creyentes de una manera ejemplar, para que aunque hablen mal de ustedes acusándolos de ser malvados, ellos vean las cosas buenas que ustedes hacen y alaben a Dios en el día en que él les pida cuentas a todos.
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, obedezcan a toda autoridad humana, ya sea al rey porque es el que tiene más autoridad,
13 Therefore subject yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake: whether to the king, as supreme,
14 o a los gobernadores que él ha puesto para castigar a los que hacen lo malo y para honrar a los que hacen lo bueno.
14 or to governors, as sent by him for vengeance on evildoers and for praise to those who do well.
15 Lo que Dios quiere es que ustedes hagan el bien, para que los ignorantes y tontos no tengan nada que decir en contra de ustedes.
15 For this is the will of God, that by well-doing you should put to silence the ignorance of foolish men.
16 Pórtense como personas libres que no usan su libertad como pretexto para hacer lo malo, sino que viven 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 Traten a todos con respeto. Amen a los hermanos, honren a Dios y respeten al rey.
17 Honor all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the king.
18 Criados, obedezcan y respeten a sus amos, no sólo a los que son buenos y comprensivos sino también a los que son difíciles de soportar,
18 Servants, be in subjection to your masters with all respect, not only to the good and gentle, but also to the wicked.
19 pues es digno de elogio que alguien, por ser responsable ante Dios, soporte penas y sufrimientos injustamente.
19 For it is commendable if someone endures pain, suffering unjustly, because of conscience toward God.
20 Pero ustedes no tendrán ningún mérito si los maltratan por hacer lo malo. En cambio, si sufren por hacer lo bueno, eso es algo que a Dios le agrada.
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 los llamó, para que así como Cristo sufrió por ustedes y les dio el ejemplo, ustedes 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 «Cristo no cometió ningún pecado ni engañó jamás a nadie».
22 who didn’t sin, “neither was deceit found in his mouth.”
23 Cuando lo insultaban, él no respondía con insultos. Cuando lo hacían sufrir, no los amenazaba, sino que se entregaba a Dios y dejaba que él juzgara 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 Cristo mismo llevó en su cuerpo nuestros pecados a la cruz, para que muramos al pecado y llevemos una vida justa. Cristo fue herido para que ustedes fueran 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 Antes ustedes eran como ovejas descarriadas, pero ahora han regresado al Pastor que cuida de sus vidas.
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.
