Greek NT<br />

18 Οἱ οἰκέται<br />

ὑποτασσόμενοι ἐν παντὶ<br />

φόβῳ τοῖς δεσπόταις, οὐ<br />

μόνον τοῖς ἀγαθοῖς καὶ<br />

ἐπιεικέσιν ἀλλὰ καὶ τοῖς<br />

σκολιοῖς. 19 τοῦτο γὰρ<br />

χάρις εἰ διὰ συνείδησιν<br />

θεοῦ ὑποφέρει τις<br />

λύπας πάσχων ἀδίκως·<br />

20 ποῖον γὰρ κλέος<br />

εἰ ἁμαρτάνοντες καὶ<br />

κολαφιζόμενοι ὑπομενεῖτε;<br />

ἀλλʼ εἰ ἀγαθοποιοῦντες καὶ<br />

πάσχοντες ὑπομενεῖτε,<br />

τοῦτο χάρις παρὰ θεῷ. 21<br />

εἰς τοῦτο γὰρ ἐκλήθητε, ὅτι<br />

καὶ Χριστὸς ἔπαθεν ὑπὲρ<br />

ὑμῶν, ὑμῖν ὑπολιμπάνων<br />

ὑπογραμμὸν ἵνα<br />

ἐπακολουθήσητε τοῖς<br />

ἴχνεσιν αὐτοῦ· 22 ὃς<br />

ἁμαρτίαν οὐκ ἐποίησεν<br />

οὐδὲ εὑρέθη δόλος ἐν<br />

τῷ στόματι αὐτοῦ· 23<br />

ὃς λοιδορούμενος οὐκ<br />

ἀντελοιδόρει, πάσχων<br />

οὐκ ἠπείλει, παρεδίδου δὲ<br />

τῷ κρίνοντι δικαίως· 24 ὃς<br />

τὰς ἁμαρτίας ἡμῶν αὐτὸς<br />

ἀνήνεγκεν ἐν τῷ σώματι<br />

αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τὸ ξύλον, ἵνα ταῖς<br />

ἁμαρτίαις ἀπογενόμενοι<br />

τῇ δικαιοσύνῃ ζήσωμεν·<br />

οὗ τῷ μώλωπι ἰάθητε.<br />

25 ἦτε γὰρ ὡς πρόβατα<br />

πλανώμενοι, ἀλλὰ<br />

ἐπεστράφητε νῦν ἐπὶ τὸν<br />

ποιμένα καὶ ἐπίσκοπον<br />

τῶν ψυχῶν ὑμῶν.<br />

The <strong>First</strong> Letter of <strong>Peter</strong><br />

Bible Study Session 11<br />

1 <strong>Peter</strong> 2:18-25<br />

“Serving Non-Christian Bosses”<br />

Gute Nachricht Bibel<br />

18 Ihr Sklaven und Sklavinnen,<br />

ordnet euch euren<br />

Herren und Herrinnen unter,<br />

und erweist ihnen den schuldigen<br />

Respekt, nicht nur<br />

den guten und freundlichen,<br />

sondern auch den launischen.<br />

19 Es ist eine Gnade<br />

Gottes, wenn jemand ohne<br />

Schuld nur deshalb Kränkungen<br />

erfährt und leiden<br />

muss, weil er im Gewissen<br />

an Gott gebunden ist. 20<br />

Habt ihr etwa Grund, euch<br />

zu rühmen, wenn ihr ein<br />

Unrecht begangen habt und<br />

dafür geschlagen werdet?<br />

Aber wenn ihr das Rechte<br />

getan habt und dafür leiden<br />

müsst, ist das eine Gnade<br />

von Gott. 21 Und eben dazu<br />

hat er euch berufen. Ihr wisst<br />

doch:<br />

Christus hat für euch gelitten<br />

und euch ein Beispiel<br />

gegeben, damit ihr seinen<br />

Spuren folgt. 22 Ihr wisst:<br />

»Er hat kein Unrecht getan;<br />

nie ist ein unwahres Wort<br />

aus seinem Mund gekommen.«<br />

23 Wenn er beleidigt<br />

wurde, gab er es nicht<br />

zurück. Wenn er leiden<br />

musste, drohte er nicht mit<br />

Vergeltung, sondern überließ<br />

es Gott, ihm zum Recht<br />

zu verhelfen. 24 Unsere<br />

Sünden hat er ans Kreuz<br />

hinaufgetragen, mit seinem<br />

eigenen Leib. Damit sind<br />

wir für die Sünden tot und<br />

können nun für das Gute<br />

leben. Durch seine Wunden<br />

seid ihr geheilt worden! 25<br />

Ihr wart wie Schafe, die sich<br />

verlaufen haben; jetzt aber<br />

seid ihr auf den rechten Weg<br />

zurückgekehrt und folgt dem<br />

Hirten, der euch leitet und<br />

schützt.<br />

NRSV<br />

18 Slaves, accept the<br />

authority of your masters<br />

with all deference, not<br />

only those who are kind<br />

and gentle but also those<br />

who are harsh. 19 For it<br />

is a credit to you if, being<br />

aware of God, you endure<br />

pain while suffering<br />

unjustly. 20 If you endure<br />

when you are beaten for<br />

doing wrong, what credit<br />

is that? But if you endure<br />

when you do right and suffer<br />

for it, you have God’s<br />

approval. 21 For to this<br />

you have been called, because<br />

Christ also suffered<br />

for you, leaving you an example,<br />

so that you should<br />

follow in his steps. 22 “He<br />

committed no sin, and no<br />

deceit was found in his<br />

mouth.” 23 When he was<br />

abused, he did not return<br />

abuse; when he suffered,<br />

he did not threaten; but he<br />

entrusted himself to the<br />

one who judges justly. 24<br />

He himself bore our sins<br />

in his body on the cross,<br />

so that, free from sins, we<br />

might live for righteousness;<br />

by his wounds you<br />

have been healed. 25 For<br />

you were going astray like<br />

sheep, but now you have<br />

returned to the shepherd<br />

and guardian of your<br />

souls.<br />

NLT<br />

18 You who are slaves<br />

must accept the authority<br />

of your masters. Do<br />

whatever they tell you -not<br />

only if they are kind<br />

and reasonable, but even<br />

if they are harsh. 19 For<br />

God is pleased with you<br />

when, for the sake of your<br />

conscience, you patiently<br />

endure unfair treatment.<br />

20 Of course, you get no<br />

credit for being patient if<br />

you are beaten for doing<br />

wrong. But if you suffer for<br />

doing right and are patient<br />

beneath the blows, God<br />

is pleased with you. 21<br />

This suffering is all part of<br />

what God has called you<br />

to. Christ, who suffered<br />

for you, is your example.<br />

Follow in his steps. 22 He<br />

never sinned, and he never<br />

deceived anyone. 23<br />

He did not retaliate when<br />

he was insulted. When<br />

he suffered, he did not<br />

threaten to get even. He<br />

left his case in the hands<br />

of God, who always judges<br />

fairly. 24 He personally<br />

carried away our sins in<br />

his own body on the cross<br />

so we can be dead to sin<br />

and live for what is right.<br />

You have been healed<br />

by his wounds! 25 Once<br />

you were wandering like<br />

lost sheep. But now you<br />

have turned to your Shepherd,<br />

the Guardian of your<br />

souls.<br />
