1:15 那召你们的既是圣洁，你们在一切所行的事上也要圣洁。
But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;
1:16 因为经上记着说，你们要圣洁，因为我是圣洁的。
Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.
1:17 你们既称那不偏待人，按各人行为审判人的主为父，就当存敬畏的心，度你们在世寄居的日子。
And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man's work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear:
1:18 知道你们得救赎，脱去你们祖宗所传流虚妄的行为，不是凭着能坏的金银等物。
Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers;
1:19 乃是凭着基督的宝血，如同无瑕疵无玷污的羔羊之血。
But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:
1:20 基督在创世以前，是豫先被神知道的，却在这末世，才为你们显现。
Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,
1:21 你们也因信着他，信那叫他从死里复活，又给他荣耀的神，叫你们的信心，和盼望，都在于神。
Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God.
1:22 你们既因顺从真理，洁净了自己的心，以致爱弟兄没有虚假，就当从心里彼此切实相爱。从心里有古卷作从清洁的心
Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently:
1:23 你们蒙了重生，不是由于能坏的种子，乃是由于不能坏的种子，是藉着神活泼常存的道。
Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.
1:24 因为凡有血气的，尽都如草，他的美荣，都像草上的花。草必枯乾，花必凋谢。
For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away:
1:25 惟有主的道是永存的。所传给你们的福音就是这道。
But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.
新约 -- 彼得前书(1Peter) -- 第 2 章 ( 本篇共有 5 章 )
2:1 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，
Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings,
2:2 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。
As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:
2:3 你们若尝过主恩的滋味，就必如此
If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious.
2:4 主乃活石。固然是被人所弃的，却是被神所拣选所宝贵的。
To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious,
2:5 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，藉着耶稣基督奉献神所悦纳的灵祭。
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.
2:6 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。
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.
2:7 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。
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,
2:8 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）他们这样绊跌也是豫定的。
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.
2:9 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。
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:
2:10 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。
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.
2:11 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。
Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;
2:12 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。
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.
2:13 你们为主的缘故，要顺服人的一切制度，或是在上的君王，
Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme;
2:14 或是君王所派罚恶赏善的臣宰。
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.
2:15 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。
For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:
2:16 你们虽是自由的，却不可藉着自由遮盖恶毒（或作阴毒），总要作神的仆人。
As free, and not using your liberty for a cloke of maliciousness, but as the servants of God.
2:17 务要尊敬众人。亲爱教中的弟兄。敬畏神。尊敬君王。
Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king.
2:18 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。
Servants, be subject to your masters with all fear; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the froward.
2:19 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。
For this is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully.
2:20 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，若能忍耐，这在神看是可喜爱的。
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.
2:21 你们蒙恩原是为此。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。
For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:
2:22 他并没有犯罪，口里也没有诡诈。
Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:
2:23 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。
Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously:
2:24 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，你们便得医治。
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.
2:25 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。
For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.
新约 -- 彼得前书(1Peter) -- 第 3 章 ( 本篇共有 5 章 )
3:1 你们作妻子的，要顺服自己的丈夫。这样，若有不信从道理的丈夫，他们虽然不听道，也可以因妻子的品行被感化过来。
Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives;
3:2 这是因为看见你们有贞洁的品行，和敬畏的心。
While they behold your chaste conversation coupled with fear.
3:3 你们不要以外面的辫头发，戴金饰，穿美衣，为妆饰，
Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel;
3:4 只要以里面存着长久温柔安静的心为妆饰。这在神面前是极宝贵的。
But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.
3:5 因为古时仰赖神的圣洁妇人，正是以此为妆饰，顺服自己的丈夫。
For after this manner in the old time the holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection unto their own husbands:
3:6 就如撒拉听从亚伯拉罕，称他为主。你们若行善，不因恐吓而害怕，便是撒拉的女儿了。
Even as Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose daughters ye are, as long as ye do well, and are not afraid with any amazement.
3:7 你们作丈夫的，也要按情理和妻子同住（情理原文作知识）。因他比你软弱（比你软弱原文是软弱的器皿），与你一同承受生命之恩的，所以要敬重他。这样便叫你们的祷告没有阻碍。
Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered.
3:8 总而言之，你们都要同心，彼此体恤，相爱如弟兄，存慈怜谦卑的心。
Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous:
3:9 不要以恶报恶，以辱骂还辱骂，倒要祝福。因你们是为此蒙召，好叫你们承受福气。
Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing.
3:10 因为经上说，人若爱生命，愿享美福，须要禁止舌头不出恶言，嘴唇不说诡诈的话。
For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile:
3:11 也要离恶行善。寻求和睦，一心追赶。
Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it.
3:12 因为主的眼看顾义人，主的耳听他们的祈祷。惟有行恶的人，主向他们变脸。
For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil.
3:13 你们若是热心行善，有谁害你们呢。
And who is he that will harm you, if ye be followers of that which is good?
3:14 你们就是为义受苦，也是有福的。不要怕人的威吓，也不要惊慌（的威吓或作所怕的）。
But and if ye suffer for righteousness' sake, happy are ye: and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled;
3:15 只要心里尊主基督为圣。有人问你们心中盼望的缘由，就要常作准备，以温柔敬畏的心回答各人。
But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:
3:16 存着无亏的良心，叫你们在何事上被毁谤，就在何事上，可以叫那诬赖你们在基督里有好品行的人，自觉羞愧。
Having a good conscience; that, whereas they speak evil of you, as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that falsely accuse your good conversation in Christ.
3:17 神的旨意若叫你们因行善受苦，总强如因行恶受苦。
For it is better, if the will of God be so, that ye suffer for well doing, than for evil doing.
3:18 因基督也曾一次为罪受苦（受苦有古卷作受死），就是义的代替不义的，为要引我们到神面前。按着肉体说他被治死。按着灵性说他复活了。
For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:
3:19 他藉这灵，曾去传道给那些在监狱里的灵听。
By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison;
3:20 就是那从前在挪亚豫备方舟，神容忍等待的时候，不信从的人。当时进入方舟，藉着水得救的不多，只有八个人。
Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.
3:21 这水所表明的洗礼，现在藉着耶稣基督复活。也拯救你们。这洗礼本不在乎除掉肉体的污秽，只求在神面前有无亏的良心。
The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ:
3:22 耶稣已经进入天堂，在神的右边。众天使和有权炳的，并有能力的，都服从了他。
Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him.
新约 -- 彼得前书(1Peter) -- 第 4 章 ( 本篇共有 5 章 )
4:1 基督既在肉身受苦，你们也当将这样的心志作为兵器。因为在肉身受过苦的，就已经与罪断绝了。
Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin;
4:2 你们存这样的心，从今以后，就可以不从人的情欲，只从神的旨意，在世度馀下的光阴。
That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God.
4:3 因为往日随从外邦人的心意，行邪淫，恶欲，醉酒，荒宴，群饮，并可恶拜偶像的事，时候已经够了。
For the time past of our life may suffice us to have wrought the will of the Gentiles, when we walked in lasciviousness, lusts, excess of wine, revellings, banquetings, and abominable idolatries:
4:4 他们在这些事上，见你们不与他们同奔那放荡无度的路，就以为怪毁谤你们。
Wherein they think it strange that ye run not with them to the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you:
4:5 他们必在那将要审判活人死人的主面前交账。
Who shall give account to him that is ready to judge the quick and the dead.
4:6 为此，就是死人也曾有福音传给他们，要叫他们的肉体按着人受审判，他们的灵性却靠神活着。
For for this cause was the gospel preached also to them that are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.
4:7 万物的结局近了。所以你们要谨慎自守，儆醒祷告。
But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer.
4:8 最要紧的是彼此切实相爱。因为爱能遮掩许多的罪。
And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins.
4:9 你们要互相款待，不发怨言。
Use hospitality one to another without grudging.
4:10 各人要照所得的恩赐彼此服事，作神百般恩赐的好管家。
As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.
4:11 若有讲道的，要按着神的圣言讲。若有服事人的，要按着神所赐的力量服事。叫神在凡事上因耶稣基督得荣耀。原来荣耀权能都是他的，直到永永远远。阿们。
If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
4:12 亲爱的弟兄阿，有火炼的试验临到你们，不要以为奇怪，（似乎是遭遇非常的事）
Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:
4:13 倒要欢喜。因为你们是与基督一同受苦，使你们在他荣耀显现的时候，也可以欢喜快乐。
But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.
4:14 你们若为基督的名受辱骂，便是有福的。因为神荣耀的灵，常住在你们身上。
If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified.
4:15 你们中间却不可有人，因为杀人，偷窃，作恶，好管闲事而受苦。
But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men's matters.
4:16 若为作基督徒受苦，却不要羞耻。倒要因这名归荣耀给神。
Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf.
4:17 因为时候到了，审判要从神的家起首。若是先从我们起首，那不信从神福音的人，将有何等的结局呢。
For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?
4:18 若是义人仅仅得救，那不虔敬和犯罪的人，将有何地可站呢。
And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?
4:19 所以那照神旨意受苦的人，要一心为善，将自己灵魂交与那信实的造化之主。
Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to him in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator.
新约 -- 彼得前书(1Peter) -- 第 5 章 ( 本篇共有 5 章 )
5:1 我这作长老，作基督受苦的见证，同享后来所要显现之荣耀的，劝你们中间与我同作长老的人。
The elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed:
5:2 务要牧养在你们中间神的群羊，按着神旨意照管他们。不是出于勉强，乃是出于甘心。也不是因为贪财，乃是出于乐意。
Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind;
5:3 也不是辖制所托付你们的，乃是作群羊的榜样。
Neither as being lords over God's heritage, but being ensamples to the flock.
5:4 到了牧长显现的时候，你们必得那永不衰残的荣耀冠冕。
And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away.
5:5 你们年幼的，也要顺服年长的。就是你们众人，也都要以谦卑束腰，彼此顺服。因为神阻挡骄傲的人，赐恩给谦卑的人。
Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.
5:6 所以你们要自卑，服在神大能的手下，到了时候他必叫你们升高。
Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:
5:7 你们要将一切的忧虑卸给神，因为他顾念你们。
Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.
5:8 务要谨守，儆醒。因为你们的仇敌魔鬼，如同吼叫的狮子，遍地游行，寻梢可吞吃的人。
Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
5:9 你们要用坚固的信心抵挡他，因为知道你们在世上的众弟兄，也是经历这样的苦难。
Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.
5:10 那赐诸般恩典的神，曾在基督里召你们，得亨他永远的荣耀，等你们暂受苦难之后，必要亲自成全你们，坚固你们，赐力量给你们。
But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.
5:11 愿权能归给他，直到永永远远。阿们。
To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
5:12 我略略的写了这信，托我所看为忠心的兄弟西拉转交你们，劝勉你们，又证明这恩是神的真恩。你们务要在这恩上站立得住。
By Silvanus, a faithful brother unto you, as I suppose, I have written briefly, exhorting, and testifying that this is the true grace of God wherein ye stand.
5:13 在巴比伦与你们同蒙拣选的教会问你们安。我儿子马可也问你们安。
The church that is at Babylon, elected together with you, saluteth you; and so doth Marcus my son.
5:14 你们要用爱心彼此亲嘴问安。愿平安归与你们凡在基督里的人。
Greet ye one another with a kiss of charity. Peace be with you all that are in Christ Jesus. Amen.
新约 -- 彼得后书(2Peter) -- 第 1 章 ( 本篇共有 3 章 )
1:1 作耶稣基督仆人和使徒的西门彼得，写信给那因我们的神，和（有古卷无和字）救主耶稣基督之义，与我们同得一样宝贵信心的人。
Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ:
1:2 愿恩惠平安，因你们认识神和我们主耶稣，多多的加给你们。
Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,
1:3 神的神能已经将一切关乎生命和虔敬的事赐给我们，皆因我们认识那用自己荣耀和美德召我们的主。
According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:
1:4 因此他已将又宝贵又极大的应许赐给我们，叫我们既脱离世上从情欲来的败坏，就得与神的性情有分。
Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
1:5 正因这缘故，你们要分外的殷勤。有了信心，又要加上德行。有了德行，又要加上知识。
And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;
1:6 有了知识，又要加上节制。有了节制，又要加上忍耐。有了忍耐，又要加上虔敬。
And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;
1:7 有了虔敬，又要加上爱弟兄的心。有了爱弟兄的心，又要加上爱众人的心
And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.
1:8 你们若充充足足的有这几样，就必使你们在认识我们的主耶稣基督上，不至于闲懒不结果子了。
For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
1:9 人若没有这几样，就是眼瞎，只看见近处的，忘了他旧日的罪已经得了洁净。
But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.
1:10 所以弟兄们，应当更加殷勤，使你们所蒙的恩召和拣选坚定不移。你们若行这几样，就永不失脚。
Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:
1:11 这样，必叫你们丰丰富富的，得以进入我们主救主耶稣基督永远的国。
For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
1:12 你们虽然晓得这些事，并且在你们已有的真道上坚固，我却要将这些事常常题醒你们。
Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things, though ye know them, and be established in the present truth.
1:13 我以为应当趁我还在这帐棚的时候题醒你们，激发你们。
Yea, I think it meet, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting you in remembrance;
1:14 因为知道我脱离这帐棚的时候快到了，正如我们主耶稣基督所指示我的。
Knowing that shortly I must put off this my tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ hath shewed me.
1:15 并且我尽心竭力，使你们在我去世以后，时常记念这些事。
Moreover I will endeavour that ye may be able after my decease to have these things always in remembrance.
1:16 我们从前，将我们主耶稣基督的大能，和他降临的事，告诉你们，并不是随从乖巧捏造的虚言，乃是亲眼见过他的威荣。
For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty.
1:17 他从父神得尊贵荣耀的时候，从极大荣光之中，有声音出来向他说，这是我的爱子，我所喜悦的。
For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
1:18 我们同他在圣山的时候，亲自听见这声音从天上出来。
And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount.
1:19 我们并有先知更确的预言，如同灯照在暗处。你们在这预言上留意，直等到天发亮晨星在你们心里出现的时候，才是好的。
We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:
1:20 第一要紧的，该知道经上所有的预言，没有可随私意解说的。
Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.
1:21 因为预言从来没有出于人意的，乃是人被圣灵感动说出神的话来。
For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
新约 -- 彼得后书(2Peter) -- 第 2 章 ( 本篇共有 3 章 )
2:1 从前在百姓中有假先知起来，将来在你们中间，也必有假师傅，私自引进害人的异端，连买他们的主他们也不承认，自取速速的灭亡。
But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.
2:2 将有许多人随从他们邪淫的行为，便叫真道，因他们的缘故被毁谤。
And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.
2:3 他们因有贪心，要用捏造的言语，在你们身上取利。他们的刑罚，自古以来并不迟延，他们的灭亡也必速速来到（原文作也不打盹）。
And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.
2:4 就是天使犯了罪，神也没有宽容，曾把他们丢在地狱，交在黑暗坑中，等候审判。
For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment;
2:5 神也没有宽容上古的世代，曾叫洪水临到那不敬虔的世代，却保护了传义道的挪亚一家八口。
And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly;
2:6 又判定所多玛，蛾摩拉，将二城倾覆，焚烧成灰，作为后世不敬虔人的监戒。
And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly;
2:7 只搭救了那常为恶人淫行忧伤的义人罗得。
And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked:
2:8 因为那义人住在他们中间，看见听见他们不法的事，他的义心就天天伤痛。
(For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;)
