8And a stone of stumbling and a rock of scandal, to them who stumble at the word, neither do believe, whereunto also they are set.E pietra d'inciampo, e pietra di scandalo per costoro, che urtano nella parola, e non credono, al che furon pur ordinati.and a stone of offense, and a rocke of scandal, to them that stumble at the vvord, neither doe beleeue wherin also they are put'.et lapis offensionis, et petra scandali, his qui offendunt verbo, nec credunt in quo et positi sunt. 9But you are a chosen generation, a kingly priesthood, a holy nation, a purchased people: that you may declare his virtues, who hath called you out of darkness into his marvelous light:Ma voi stirpe eletta, sacerdozio regale, gente santa, popolo di acquisto: affinchè esaltiate le virtù di lui, che dalle tenebre vi chiamò all'ammirabil sua luce.But you are an elect generation, a kingly priesthod, a holy nation, a people of purchase: that you may declare his vertues vvhich from darkenesse hath called you into his maruelous light.Vos autem genus electum, regale sacerdotium, gens sancta, populus acquisitionis: ut virtutes annuntietis ejus qui de tenebris vos vocavit in admirabile lumen suum. 10Who in time past were not a people: but are now the people of God. Who had not obtained mercy: but now have obtained mercy.I quali una volta non popolo, ma ora popolo di Dio: i quali non fatti partecipi di misericordia, ora poi fatti partecipi della misericordia.Vvhich sometime not a people: but novv the people of God. Vvhich not hauing obtained mercie: but novv hauing obtained mercie.Qui aliquando non populus, nunc autem populus Dei: qui non consecuti misericordiam, nunc autem misericordiam consecuti. 11Dearly beloved, I beseech you, as strangers and pilgrims, to refrain yourselves from carnal desires which war against the soul,Carissimi, io vi scongiuro, che come forestieri, e pellegrini vi guardiate dai desiderj carnali, che militan contro dell'anima,My deerest I beseche you as strangers & pilgrimes, to refraine your selues from carnal desires which vvarre against the soule,Carissimi, obsecro vos tamquam advenas et peregrinos abstinere vos a carnalibus desideriis, quæ militant adversus animam, 12Having your conversation good among the Gentiles: that whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may, by the good works which they shall behold in you, glorify God in the day of visitation.Vivendo bene tralle genti: affinchè laddove sparlan di voi come di uomini di mal affare, considerando le vostre buone opere, glorifichino Dio nel dì, in cui li visiterà.hauing your conuersation good among the Gentiles: that in that vvherein they misreport of you as of malefactors, by the good vvorkes considering you, they may glorifie God in the day of visitation.conversationem 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.

13Be ye subject therefore to every human creature for God’s sake: whether it be to the king as excelling,Siate adunque per riguardo a Dio soggetti ad ogni uomo creato: tanto al Re, come sopra di tutti;Be subiect therfore to euery humane creature for God: vvhether it be to king, as excelling:Subjecti igitur estote omni humanæ creaturæ propter Deum: sive regi quasi præcellenti: 14Or to governors as sent by him for the punishment of evildoers and for the praise of the good.Quanto ai presidi come spediti da lui per far vendetta de' malfattori, e per onorare i buoni:or to rulers as sent by him to the reuenge of malefactors, but to the praise of the good:sive ducibus tamquam ab eo missis ad vindictam malefactorum, laudem vero bonorum: 15For so is the will of God, that by doing well you may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:Perché tale è la volontà di Dio, che ben facendo chiudiate la bocca alla ignoranza degli uomini stolti:for so is the vvil of God, that doing vvel you may make the ignorance of vnvvise men to be dumme:quia sic est voluntas Dei, ut benefacientes obmutescere faciatis imprudentium hominum ignorantiam: 16As free and not as making liberty a cloak for malice, but as the servants of God.Come liberi, e non quasi tenendo la libertà per velame della malizia, ma come servi di Dio.as free, & not as hauing the freedom for a cloke of malice, but as the seruants of God.quasi liberi, et non quasi velamen habentes malitiæ libertatem, sed sicut servi Dei. 17Honour all men.

But if doing well you suffer patiently: this is thankworthy before God.Imperocché qual onore è egli, se peccando, ed essendo puniti, patite? Ma se bene operando, e patendo, soffrite in pazienza: questo è il merito dinanzi a Dio.For vvhat glorie is it: if sinning, and buffeted you suffer? but if doing vvel you sustaine patiently: this is thanke before God.Quæ enim est gloria, si peccantes, et colaphizati suffertis ? sed si bene facientes patienter sustinetis, hæc est gratia apud Deum.
