| 2:16 | As fre men, and not as hauynge fredom the keuering of malice, but as the seruauntis of God. |
| 2:17 | Onoure ye alle men, loue ye brithirhod, drede ye God, onoure ye the king. |
| 2:18 | Seruauntis, be ye sugetis in al drede to lordis, not oneli to good and to mylde, but also to tyrauntis. |
| 2:19 | For this is grace, if for conscience of God ony man suffrith heuynessis, and suffrith vniustli. |
| 2:20 | For what grace is it, if ye synnen, and ben buffatid, and suffren? But if ye don wel, and suffren pacientli, this is grace anentis God. |
| 2:21 | For to this thing ye ben clepid. For also Crist suffride for vs, and lefte ensaumple to you, that ye folewe the steppis of hym. |
| 2:22 | Which dide not synne, nethir gile was foundun in his mouth. |
| 2:23 | And whanne he was cursid, he curside not; whanne he suffride, he manasside not; but he bitook hym silf to hym, that demyde hym vniustli. |
| 2:24 | And he hym silf bar oure synnes in his bodi on a tre, that we be deed to synnes, and lyue to riytwisnesse, bi whos wan wounde ye ben heelid. |
| 2:25 | For ye weren as scheep errynge, but ye ben now turned to the schipherde, and bischop of youre soulis. |
| 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 | 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. |
