1 Odbacite dakle svaku pakost i svaku prevaru i licemerje i zavist i sva opadanja, 2 i budite željni razumnog i pravog mleka, kao novorođena deca, da o njemu uzrastete za spasenje; 3 jer okusiste da je blag Gospod. 4 A kad dođete k Njemu, kao kamenu živom, koji je, istina, od ljudi odbačen, ali od Boga izabran i pribran: 5 I vi kao živo kamenje zidajte se u kuću duhovnu i sveštenstvo sveto, da se prinose prinosi duhovni, koji su Bogu povoljni, kroz Isusa Hrista. 6 Jer u pismu stoji napisano: Evo mećem u Sionu kamen krajeugalan izbrani, i skupoceni; i ko Njega veruje neće se postideti. 7 Vama, dakle, koji verujete čast je; a onima koji se protive kamen koji odbaciše zidari on posta glava od ugla, i kamen spoticanja i stena sablazni: 8 Na koji se i spotiču koji se protive reči, na šta su i određeni. 9 A vi ste izbrani rod, carsko sveštenstvo, sveti narod, narod dobitka, da objavite dobrodetelji Onog koji vas dozva iz tame k čudnom videlu svom; 10 koji nekad ne bejaste narod, a sad ste narod Božji; koji ne bejaste pomilovani, a sad ste pomilovani. 11 Ljubazni! Molim vas, kao došljake i goste, da se čuvate od telesnih želja, koje vojuju na dušu. 12 A vladajte se dobro među neznabošcima, da bi za ono za šta vas opadaju kao zločince, videvši vaša dobra dela, hvalili Boga u dan pohođenja. 13 Budite dakle pokorni svakoj vlasti čovečijoj, Gospoda radi: ako caru, kao gospodaru; 14 ako li knezovima, kao njegovim poslanicima za osvetu zločincima, a za hvalu dobrotvorima. 15 Jer je tako volja Božija da dobrim delima zadržavate neznanje bezumnih ljudi. 16 Kao slobodni, a ne kao da biste imali slobodu za pokrivač pakosti, nego kao sluge Božije. 17 Poštujte svakog: braću ljubite, Boga se bojte, cara poštujte. 18 Sluge! Budite pokorni sa svakim strahom gospodarima ne samo dobrima i krotkima nego i zlima. 19 Jer je ovo ugodno pred Bogom ako Boga radi podnese ko žalosti, stradajući na pravdi. 20 Jer kakva je hvala ako za krivicu muke trpite? Nego ako dobro čineći muke trpite, ovo je ugodno pred Bogom. 21 Jer ste na to i pozvani, jer i Hristos postrada za nas, i nama ostavi ugled da idemo Njegovim tragom: 22 Koji greha ne učini, niti se nađe prevara u ustima Njegovim; 23 koji ne psova kad Ga psovaše; ne preti kad strada; nego se oslanjaše na Onog koji pravo sudi; 24 koji grehe naše sam iznese na telu svom na drvo, da za grehe umremo, i za pravdu živimo; kog se ranom isceliste. 25 Jer bejaste kao izgubljene ovce, koje nemaju pastira; no sad se obratiste k pastiru i vladici duša svojih.

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.

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.
