1 Peter 2:16-25

16as freeG1658, and not using your freedomG1657 for a cloak of wickednessG2549, but as bondservants of GodG2316. 17HonorG5091 all men. LoveG25 the brotherhoodG81. FearG5399 GodG2316. HonorG5091 the kingG935.

18Servants, bein subjectionG5293 to your mastersG1203 with all fearG5401; not onlyG3440 to the goodG18 and gentleG1933, but alsoG2532 to the froward. 19For this is acceptable, if for conscienceG4893 toward GodG2316 a manG3778 endureth griefs, sufferingG3958 wrongfully. 20For what glory is it, if, when ye sinG264, and are buffeted for it, ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and sufferG3958 for it, ye shall take it patiently, this is acceptable with GodG2316. 21For hereunto were ye calledG2564: because ChristG5547 alsoG2532 sufferedG3958 for you, leaving you an example, that ye should follow his stepsG2487: 22who did no sinG266, neither was guile foundG2147 in his mouthG4750: 23who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he sufferedG3958, threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteouslyG1346: 24who his own self bare our sinsG266 in his bodyG4983 upon the treeG3586, that we, having died unto sinsG266, might liveG2198 unto righteousnessG1343; by whose stripes ye were healedG2390. 25For ye wereG1510 going astrayG4105 like sheepG4263; but areG1510 nowG3568 returnedG1994 unto the ShepherdG4166 and Bishop of your soulsG5590.
