1 Peter 2:4-25

4And comingG4334 to Him as to a livingG2198 stoneG3037 which has been 1rejectedG593 by menG444, but is 2choiceG1588 and preciousG1784 in the sightG3844 of GodG2316, 53you alsoG2532, as livingG2198 stonesG3037, 4are being builtG2026 up as a 5spiritualG4152 houseG3624 for a holyG40 6priesthoodG2406, to 7offerG399 up spiritualG4152 sacrificesG2378 acceptableG2144 to GodG2316 throughG1223 JesusG2424 ChristG5547. 6For this is containedG4023 in 8ScriptureG1124: “9BeholdG2400, I layG5087 in ZionG4622 a choiceG1588 stoneG3037, a 10preciousG1784 cornerG204 stone, And he who believesG4100 in 11Him will not be 12disappointedG2617.” 713ThisG3588 preciousG5092 valueG5092, thenG3767, is for you who believeG4100; but for thoseG3588 who disbelieveG569, “14The stoneG3037 whichG3739 the buildersG3618 15rejectedG593, ThisG3778 becameG1096 the veryG2776 cornerG1137 stone,” 8and, “16A stoneG3037 of stumblingG4348 and a rockG4073 of offenseG4625”; 17for they stumbleG4350 because they are disobedientG544 to the wordG3056, 18and to thisG3739 doom they were alsoG2532 appointedG5087.

9But you are 19a chosenG1588 raceG1085, a royalG934 20priesthoodG2406, a 21holyG40 nationG1484, 22a peopleG2992 for God’s own possessionG4047, soG3704 that you may proclaimG1804 the excellenciesG703 of Him who has calledG2564 you 23out of darknessG4655 into His marvelousG2298 lightG5457; 1024for you onceG4218 were not a peopleG2992, but nowG3568 you are the peopleG2992 of GodG2316; you had not receivedG1653 mercyG1653, but nowG3568 you have receivedG1653 mercyG1653.

1125BelovedG27, 26I urgeG3870 you as 27aliensG3941 and strangersG3927 to abstainG568 from 28fleshlyG4559 lustsG1939 whichG3748 wageG4754 29warG4754 againstG2596 the soulG5590. 1230KeepG2192 your behaviorG391 excellentG2570 amongG1722 the GentilesG1484, soG2443 that in the thing in whichG3739 they 31slanderG2635 you as evildoersG2555, they may 32becauseG1537 of your goodG2570 deedsG2041, as they observeG2029 them, 33glorifyG1392 GodG2316 34in the dayG2250 of 35visitationG1984.

1336SubmitG5293 yourselves for the Lord’sG2962 sakeG1223 to everyG3956 humanG442 institutionG2937, whetherG1535 to a kingG935 as the one in authorityG5242, 14orG1535 to governorsG2232 as sentG3992 37by him 38for the punishmentG1557 of evildoersG2555 and the 39praiseG1868 of those who doG15 rightG15. 15For 4041suchG3779 is the willG2307 of GodG2316 that by doingG15 rightG15 you may 42silenceG5392 the ignoranceG56 of foolishG878 menG444. 16Act as 43freeG1658 menG1658, and 44do not useG2192 your freedomG1657 as a coveringG1942 for evilG2549, but use it as 45bondslavesG1401 of GodG2316. 1746HonorG5091 allG3956 peopleG3956, 47loveG25 the brotherhoodG81, 48fearG5399 GodG2316, 49honorG5091 the 50kingG935.

1851ServantsG3610, be submissiveG5293 to your mastersG1203 with allG3956 respectG5401, not onlyG3440 to thoseG3588 who are goodG18 and 52gentleG1933, but alsoG2532 to thoseG3588 who are 53unreasonableG4646. 19For thisG3778 finds 54favorG5485, ifG1487 for the sakeG1223 of 55conscienceG4893 toward GodG2316 a personG5100 bearsG5297 up underG5297 sorrowsG3077 when sufferingG3958 unjustlyG95. 20For whatG4169 creditG2811 is there ifG1487, when you sinG264 and are harshlyG2852 treatedG2852, you endureG5278 it with patienceG5278? But ifG1487 56when you doG15 what is rightG15 and sufferG3958 for it you patientlyG5278 endureG5278 it, thisG3778 finds 57favorG5485 with GodG2316. 21For 58you have been calledG2564 for thisG3778 purpose, 59sinceG3754 ChristG5547 alsoG2532 sufferedG3958 for you, leavingG5277 you 60an exampleG5261 for you to followG1872 in His stepsG2487, 22whoG3739 61committedG4160 noG3756 sinG266, norG3761 was any deceitG1388 foundG2147 in His mouthG4750; 2362and while being 63reviledG3058, He did not revileG486 in returnG486; while sufferingG3958, He utteredG546 noG3756 threatsG546, but kept entrustingG3860 Himself to Him who judgesG2919 righteouslyG1346; 24and He HimselfG846 6465boreG399 our sinsG266 in His bodyG4983 on the 6667crossG3586, soG2443 that we 68might dieG581 to 69sinG266 and liveG2198 to righteousnessG1343; for 70by His 71woundsG3468 you were 72healedG2390. 25For you were 73continually strayingG4105 likeG5613 sheepG4263, but nowG3568 you have returnedG1994 to the 74ShepherdG4166 and 75GuardianG1985 of your soulsG5590.
