1PE-2:1 Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and
hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings,
1PE-2:2 As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word,
that
ye may grow thereby:
1PE-2:3 If so be ye have tasted that the Lord [is] gracious.
1PE-2:4 To whom coming, [as unto] a living stone, disallowed
indeed
of men, but chosen of God, [and] precious,
1PE-2:5 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.
1PE-2:6 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.
1PE-2:7 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,
1PE-2:8 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.
1PE-2:9 But ye [are] a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an
holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should show forth the
praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his
marvellous light:
1PE-2:10 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.
1PE-2:11 Dearly beloved, I beseech [you] as strangers and
pilgrims,
abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;
1PE-2:12 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.
1PE-2:13 Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the
Lord's
sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme;
1PE-2:14 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.
1PE-2:15 For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may
put
to silence the ignorance of foolish men:
1PE-2:16 As free, and not using [your] liberty for a cloak of
maliciousness, but as the servants of God.
1PE-2:17 Honour all [men]. Love the brotherhood. Fear God.
Honour
the king.
1PE-2:18 Servants, [be] subject to [your] masters with all fear;
not only to the good and gentle, but also to the froward.
1PE-2:19 For this [is] thankworthy, if a man for conscience
toward
God endure grief, suffering wrongfully.
1PE-2:20 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.
1PE-2:21 For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also
suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his
steps:
1PE-2:22 Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:
1PE-2:23 Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he
suffered, he threatened not; but committed [himself] to him that
judgeth righteously:
1PE-2:24 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.
1PE-2:25 For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned
unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.
