1 Peter - Chapter: 2


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


2:1	Therefore laying aside all malice, all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and all evil speaking,
2:2	as newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the word, that you may grow thereby,
2:3	if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is gracious.
2:4	Coming to Him as to a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God and precious,
2:5	you also, as living stones, are built up as a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.
2:6	Therefore it is also contained in the scripture, "Behold, I lay in Zion a chief cornerstone, elect, precious, and he who believes on Him will not be put to shame."
2:7	Therefore, to you who believe, He is precious; but to those who are disobedient, "The stone which the builders rejected, has become the head cornerstone,"
2:8	and "A stone of stumbling and a rock of offense," which is to those who stumble at the word, being disobedient, to which they are also appointed.
2:9	But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;
2:10	who once were not a people, but are now the people of God, who had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.
2:11	Beloved, I urge you as foreigners and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul,
2:12	having your conduct honorable among the Gentiles, that while they speak against you as evildoers, they may, by your good works which they observe, glorify God in the day of visitation.
2:13	Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake, whether it be to the king as supreme,
2:14	or to governors, as to those who are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers and for the praise of those who do good.
2:15	Because, this is the will of God, that by doing good you may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men,
2:16	as free, yet not using your liberty as a cover for maliciousness, but as the servants of God.
2:17	Honor all people. Love the brotherhood. Reverence God. Honor the king.
2:18	Servants, be submissive to your masters with all reverence, not only to the good and gentle, but also to the harsh.
2:19	Because, this is admirable, if because of conscience toward God a person endures grief, suffering wrongfully.
2:20	Because, what glory is it if, when you are punished for your faults, you take it patiently? But when you do good and suffer for it, if you take it patiently, this is acceptable before God.
2:21	Because, to this were you called, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that you should follow His steps:
2:22	"Who did no sin, nor was deceit found in His mouth";
2:23	who, when He was reviled, did not revile in return; when He suffered, He did not threaten, but committed Himself to Him who judges righteously;
2:24	who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live for righteousness, by whose stripes you were healed.
2:25	Because, you were like sheep going astray, but have now returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.


2:1	Wherfore laye asyde all maliciousnes and all gyle and dissimulacion and envie and all backbytynge:
2:2	and as newe borne babes desyre that reasonable mylke which is with out corrupcion that ye maye growe therin.
2:3	If so be that ye have tasted how plesaunt the lorde is
2:4	to whom ye come as vnto a livynge stone disalowed of men but chosen of god and precious:
2:5	and ye as lyvynge stones are made a spretuall housse and an holy presthode for to offer vp spretuall sacryfice acceptable to god by Iesus Christ.
2:6	Wherfore it is contayned in the scripture: beholde I put in Sion an heed corner stone electe and precious: and he that beleveth on him shall not be ashamed.
2:7	Vnto you therfore which beleve he is precious: but vnto them which beleve not ye stone which ye bylders refused ye same is made ye heed stone in the corner
2:8	and a stone to stomble at and a rocke to offende them which stomble at the worde and beleve not that where on they were set.
2:9	But ye are a chosyn generacion a royall presthod an holy nacio and a peculiar people that ye shuld shewe the vertues of him that called you out of darknes into hys marvelous light
2:10	which in tyme past were not a people yet are now the people of God: which were not vnder mercye but now have obteyned mercye.
2:11	Derly beloved I beseche you as straugers and pilgrems abstayne from flesshly lustes which fyght agaynst the soule
2:12	and se that ye have honest conversacion amonge the getyls that they which backbyte you as evyll doars maye se youre good workes and prayse god in the daye of visitacion.
2:13	Submit youre selves vnto all manner ordinaunce of man for the lordes sake whether it be vnto the kynge as vnto the chefe heed:
2:14	other vnto rulars as vnto them that are sent of him for the punysshment of evyll doars: but for the laude of them that do well.
2:15	For so is the will of god that ye put to sylence the ygnorancie of the folyshe men:
2:16	as fre and not as havinge ye libertie for a cloke of maliciousnes but even as the servautes of god.
2:17	Honoure all men. Love brotherly felishippe. Feare god and honour the kynge.
2:18	Servauntes obey youre masters with all feare not only yf they be good and courteous: but also though they be frowarde.
2:19	For it is thankeworthye yf a man for conscience towarde god endure grefe sufferinge wrongfully.
2:20	For what prayse is it if when ye be buffeted for youre fautes ye take it paciently? But and yf when ye do well ye suffer wronge and take it paciently then is there thanke with God.
2:21	For herevnto verely were ye called: for Christ also suffered for vs levinge vs an insample yt ye shuld folowe his steppes
2:22	which dyd no sinne nether was ther gyle founde in his mouth:
2:23	which when he was reviled reviled not agayne: whe he suffered he threatened not: but comitted the cause to him that iudgeth ryghteously
2:24	which his awne silfe bare oure synnes in his body on the tree that we shuld be delyvered from synne and shuld lyve in rightewesnes. By whose strypes ye were healed.
2:25	For ye were as shepe goinge astraye: but are now returned vnto ye shepheerd and bisshoppe of youre soules.
