| 2:1 | Wherfore laye a syde all malycyousnes, and all gyle, and dyssymulacyon, and enuye, and all backbytynge: |
| 2:2 | and as newe bourne babes, desyre that reasonable mylke whiche is wythout corrupcyon that ye maye growe therein. |
| 2:3 | If so be that ye haue tasted howe pleasaunt the Lorde is, |
| 2:4 | to whome ye come as vnto a lyuinge stone dysalowed of men, but chosen of God and precyous: |
| 2:5 | and ye as lyuynge stones, are made a spirytuall housse, and an holye priesthode, for to offer vp spyrytuall sacryfyce, acceptable to God by Iesus Christe. |
| 2:6 | Wherfore it is contained in the scrypture: beholde, I put in Syon an head corner stone, electe and precyous: and he that beleueth on hym, shall not be ashamed. |
| 2:7 | Vnto you therfor whiche beleue, he is precyous, but vnto them whiche beleue not, the stone whiche the buylders refused the same is made the head stone in the corner, |
| 2:8 | and a stone to stomble at, and a rocke to offende them whiche stomble at the word, and beleue not that whereon they were set. |
| 2:9 | But ye are a chosen generacyon, a royall priesthode, an holye nacyon and a peculyar people that ye shoulde shewe the vertues of hym that called you oute of darkenes into his marueylous lyght, |
| 2:10 | whiche in tyme past were not vnder mercye, but nowe haue obtayned mercye. |
| 2:11 | Dearely beloued, I beseche you as straungers and pylgremes, obstayne from fleshely lustes, which fyght agaynste the soule, |
| 2:12 | and se that ye haue honest conuersacyon amonge the Gentyls, that they whiche backbyte you as euyll doars, maye se youre good workes and prayse God in the daye of visitacyon. |
| 2:13 | Submyt youre selues vnto all maner ordinaunce of man for the Lordes sake, whether it be vnto the kynge as vnto the chiefe heade: |
| 2:14 | other vnto rulars, as vnto them that are sent of hym, for the punyshemente of euyll doars: but for the laude of them that do wel. |
| 2:15 | For so is the wyll of God, that ye put to sylence the ignorauncye of the folyshe men: |
| 2:16 | as fre, and not as hauynge the lybertye for a cloke of maliciousnes, but euen as the seruauntes of God. |
| 2:17 | Honoure all men. Loue brotherlye felowship. Feare God, and honour the kynge. |
| 2:18 | Seruauntes obeye your maysters wyth al feare, not onelye yf they be good, and courteous: but also thoughe they be frowarde. |
| 2:19 | For it is thanke worthy yf a man for conscience towarde God endure griefe, suffering wrongfullye. |
| 2:20 | For what prayse is it, yf when ye be buffeted for your faultes, ye take it pacientlye? But and yf when ye do well, ye suffre wrong and take it pacyently, then is there thanke wt God. |
| 2:21 | for here vnto verelye were ye called: for Christe also suffered for vs, leauynge vs an ensample that we shoulde folowe his steppes, |
| 2:22 | whiche dyd no synne, neyther was there gyle founde in hys mouth: |
| 2:23 | which when he was reuyled, reuyled not agayne: when he suffered, he threatened not: but commytted the cause to him that iudgeth ryghtuously, |
| 2:24 | which hys owne selfe bare oure synnes in hys body on the tree, that we shoulde be delyuered from synne, and shoulde lyue in ryghtuousnes. By whose strypes ye were healed. |
| 2:25 | For ye were as shepe goynge astraye: but are nowe returned to the shepeherde and byshop of your soules. |
| 2:1 | Wherefore, laying aside all maliciousnes, and all guile, and dissimulation, and enuie, and all euill speaking, |
| 2:2 | As newe borne babes desire that sincere milke of the woorde, that yee may growe thereby, |
| 2:3 | Because yee haue tasted that the Lord is bountifull. |
| 2:4 | To whome comming as vnto a liuing stone disallowed of men, but chosen of God and precious, |
| 2:5 | Yee also as liuely stones, bee made a spirituall house, an holy Priesthoode to offer vp spirituall sacrifices acceptable to God by Iesus Christ. |
| 2:6 | Wherefore also it is conteyned in the Scripture, Beholde, I put in Sion a chiefe corner stone, elect and precious: and hee that beleeueth therein, shall not be ashamed. |
| 2:7 | Vnto you therefore which beleeue, it is precious: but vnto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner, |
| 2:8 | And a stone to stumble at, and a rocke of offence, euen to them which stumble at the woorde, being disobedient, vnto the which thing they were euen ordeined. |
| 2:9 | But yee are a chosen generation, a royall Priesthoode, an holy nation, a people set at libertie, that yee shoulde shewe foorth the vertues of him that hath called you out of darkenesse into his marueilous light, |
| 2:10 | Which in time past were not a people, yet are nowe the people of God: which in time past were not vnder mercie, but nowe haue obteined mercie. |
| 2:11 | Dearely beloued, I beseeche you, as strangers and pilgrims, abstaine from fleshly lusts, which fight against the soule, |
| 2:12 | And haue your conuersation honest among the Gentiles, that they which speake euill of you as of euill doers, may by your good woorkes which they shall see, glorifie God in the day of visitation. |
| 2:13 | Therefore submit your selues vnto all maner ordinance of man for the Lordes sake, whether it be vnto the King, as vnto the superiour, |
| 2:14 | Or vnto gouernours, as vnto them that are sent of him, for the punishment of euill doers, and for the praise of them that doe well. |
| 2:15 | For so is the will of God, that by well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of the foolish men, |
| 2:16 | As free, and not as hauing the libertie for a cloke of maliciousnesse, but as the seruauntes of God. |
| 2:17 | Honour all men: loue brotherly fellowship: feare God: honour the King. |
| 2:18 | Seruaunts, be subiect to your masters with all feare, not onely to the good and courteous, but also to the froward. |
| 2:19 | For this is thanke worthie, if a man for conscience toward God endure griefe, suffering wrongfully. |
| 2:20 | For what praise is it, if when ye be buffeted for your faultes, yee take it paciently? but and if when ye doe well, ye suffer wrong and take it paciently, this is acceptable to God. |
| 2:21 | For hereunto ye are called: for Christ also suffred for you, leauing you an ensample that ye should follow his steppes. |
| 2:22 | Who did no sinne, neither was there guile found in his mouth. |
| 2:23 | Who when hee was reuiled, reuiled not againe: when hee suffered, hee threatned not, but comitted it to him that iudgeth righteously. |
| 2:24 | Who his owne selfe bare our sinnes in his body on the tree, that we being dead to sinne, should liue in righteousnesse: by whose stripes ye were healed. |
| 2:25 | For ye were as sheepe going astray: but are nowe returned vnto the shepheard and Bishop of your soules. |
| 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. |
