1 # Wherefore <3767> laying aside <659> (5642) all <3956> malice <2549>, and <2532> all <3956> guile <1388>, and <2532> hypocrisies <5272>, and <2532> envies <5355>, and <2532> all <3956> evil speakings <2636>,
2 As <5613> newborn <738> babes <1025>, desire <1971> (5657) the sincere <97> milk <1051> of the word <3050>, that <2443> ye may grow <837> (5686) thereby <1722> <846>:
3 If so be <1512> ye have tasted <1089> (5662) that <3754> the Lord <2962> is gracious <5543>.
4 # To <4314> whom <3739> coming <4334> (5740), as unto a living <2198> (5723) stone <3037> , disallowed <593> (5772) indeed <3303> of <5259> men <444>, but <1161> chosen <1588> of <3844> God <2316>, and precious <1784>,
5 Ye <846> also <2532>, as <5613> lively <2198> (5723) stones <3037>, are built up <3618> (5743) a spiritual <4152> house <3624>, an holy <40> priesthood <2406>, to offer up <399> (5658) spiritual <4152> sacrifices <2378>, acceptable <2144> to God <2316> by <1223> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>.
6 Wherefore <1352> also <2532> it is contained <4023> (5719) in <1722> the scripture <1124>, Behold <2400> (5628), I lay <5087> (5719) in <1722> Sion <4622> a chief corner <204> stone <3037>, elect <1588>, precious <1784>: and <2532> he that believeth <4100> (5723) on <1909> him <846> shall <2617> <0> not be <3364> confounded <2617> (5686).
7 Unto you <5213> therefore <3767> which <3588> believe <4100> (5723) he is precious <5092> : but <1161> unto them which be disobedient <544> (5723), the stone <3037> which <3739> the builders <3618> (5723) disallowed <593> (5656), the same <3778> is made <1096> (5675) <1519> the head <2776> of the corner <1137> ,
8 And <2532> a stone <3037> of stumbling <4348>, and <2532> a rock <4073> of offence <4625>, even to them which <3739> stumble <4350> (5719) at the word <3056>, being disobedient <544> (5723): whereunto <1519> <3739> also <2532> they were appointed <5087> (5681).
9 But <1161> ye <5210> are a chosen <1588> generation <1085>, a royal <934> priesthood <2406> , an holy <40> nation <1484>, a peculiar <1519> <4047> people <2992>; that <3704> ye should shew forth <1804> (5661) the praises <703> of him who hath called <2564> (5660) you <5209> out of <1537> darkness <4655> into <1519> his <846> marvellous <2298> light <5457>:
10 Which <3588> in time past <4218> were not <3756> a people <2992>, but <1161> are now <3568> the people <2992> of God <2316>: which <3588> had <1653> <0> not <3756> obtained mercy <1653> (5772) , but <1161> now <3568> have obtained mercy <1653> (5685).
11 Dearly beloved <27>, I beseech <3870> (5719) you as <5613> strangers <3941> and <2532> pilgrims <3927>, abstain from <567> (5733) fleshly <4559> lusts <1939>, which <3748> war <4754> (5731) against <2596> the soul <5590>;
12 Having <2192> (5723) your <5216> conversation <391> honest <2570> among <1722> the Gentiles <1484>: that <2443>, whereas <1722> <3739> they speak against <2635> (5719) you <5216> as <5613> evildoers <2555>, they may <1392> <0> by <1537> your good <2570> works <2041>, which they shall behold <2029> (5660), glorify <1392> (5661) God <2316> in <1722> the day <2250> of visitation <1984>.
13 # <3767> Submit yourselves <5293> (5649) to every <3956> ordinance <2937> of man <442> for <1223> the Lord's sake <2962>: whether it be <1535> to the king <935>, as <5613> supreme <5242> (5723);
14 Or <1535> unto governors <2232>, as <5613> unto them that are sent <3992> (5746) by <1223> him <846> for <1519> <3303> the punishment <1557> of evildoers <2555>, and <1161> for the praise <1868> of them that do well <17>.
15 For <3754> so <3779> is <2076> (5748) the will <2307> of God <2316>, that with well doing <15> (5723) ye may put to silence <5392> (5721) the ignorance <56> of foolish <878> men <444>:
16 As <5613> free <1658>, and <2532> not <3361> using <2192> (5723) your liberty <1657> for <5613> a cloke <1942> of maliciousness <2549>, but <235> as <5613> the servants <1401> of God <2316>.
17 Honour <5091> (5657) all <3956> men. Love <25> (5720) the brotherhood <81>. Fear <5399> (5737) God <2316>. Honour <5091> (5720) the king <935>.
18 Servants <3610>, be subject <5293> (5746) to your masters <1203> with <1722> all <3956> fear <5401>; not <3756> only <3440> to the good <18> and <2532> gentle <1933>, but <235> also <2532> to the froward <4646>.
19 For <1063> this <5124> is thankworthy <5485>, if <1487> a man <5100> for <1223> conscience <4893> toward God <2316> endure <5297> (5719) grief <3077>, suffering <3958> (5723) wrongfully <95> .
20 For <1063> what <4169> glory <2811> is it, if <1487>, when <2532> ye be buffeted <2852> (5746) for your faults <264> (5723), ye shall take it patiently <5278> (5692)? but <235> if <1487>, when ye do well <15> (5723), and <2532> suffer <3958> (5723) for it, ye take it patiently <5278> (5692), this <5124> is acceptable <5485> with <3844> God <2316>.
21 For <1063> even <1519> hereunto <5124> were ye called <2564> (5681): because <3754> Christ <5547> also <2532> suffered <3958> (5627) for <5228> us <2257>, leaving <5277> (5723) us <2254> an example <5261>, that <2443> ye should follow <1872> (5661) his <846> steps <2487>:
22 Who <3739> did <4160> (5656) no <3756> sin <266>, neither <3761> was guile <1388> found <2147> (5681) in <1722> his <846> mouth <4750>:
23 Who <3739>, when he was reviled <3058> (5746), reviled <486> <0> not <3756> again <486> (5707); when he suffered <3958> (5723), he threatened <546> (5707) not <3756>; but <1161> committed <3860> (5707) himself to him that judgeth <2919> (5723) righteously <1346>:
24 Who <3739> his own self <846> bare <399> (5656) our <2257> sins <266> in <1722> his own <846> body <4983> on <1909> the tree <3586>, that <2443> we <2198> <0>, being dead <581> (5637) to sins <266>, should live <2198> (5661) unto righteousness <1343>: by <3739> whose <846> stripes <3468> ye were healed <2390> (5681).
25 For <1063> ye were <2258> (5713) as <5613> sheep <4263> going astray <4105> (5746); but <235> are <1994> <0> now <3568> returned <1994> (5648) unto <1909> the Shepherd <4166> and <2532> Bishop <1985> of your <5216> souls <5590>.
