1 Peter 2:10-25

101for 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.

112BelovedG27, 3I urgeG3870 you as 4foreignersG3941 and strangersG3927 to abstainG568 from 5fleshlyG4559 lustsG1939, whichG3748 wageG4754 6warG4754 againstG2596 the soulG5590. 127KeepG2192 your behaviorG391 excellentG2570 amongG1722 the GentilesG1484, soG2443 thatG2443 in the thing in whichG3739 they 8slanderG2635 you as evildoersG2555, they may 9becauseG1537 of your goodG2570 deedsG2041, as they observeG2029 them, 10glorifyG1392 GodG2316 11on the dayG2250 of 12visitationG1984.

1313SubmitG5293 yourselves for the Lord’sG2962 sakeG1223 to everyG3956 humanG442 institutionG2937, whetherG1535 to a kingG935 as the one in authorityG5242, 14orG1535 to governorsG2232 as sentG3992 14by him 15for the punishmentG1557 of evildoersG2555 and the 16praiseG1868 of those who doG17 rightG17. 15For 1718suchG3779 is the willG2307 of GodG2316, that by doingG15 rightG15 you 19silenceG5392 the ignoranceG56 of foolishG878 peopleG444. 16Act as 20freeG1658 peopleG1658, and 21do not useG2192 your freedomG1657 as a 22coveringG1942 for evilG2549, but use it as 23bond-servantsG1401 of GodG2316. 1724HonorG5091 allG3956 peopleG3956, 25loveG25 the brotherhoodG81, 26fearG5399 GodG2316, 27honorG5091 the 28kingG935.

1829ServantsG3610, beG5293 subjectG5293 to your mastersG1203 with allG3956 respectG5401, not onlyG3440 to thoseG3588 who are goodG18 and 30gentleG1933, but alsoG2532 to thoseG3588 who are 31harshG4646. 19For thisG3778 finds favorG5485, ifG1487 for the sakeG1223 of 32conscienceG4893 toward GodG2316 a personG5100 enduresG5297 33griefG3077 when sufferingG3958 unjustlyG95. 20For whatG4169 creditG2811 is there ifG1487, when you sinG264 and are harshlyG2852 treatedG2852, you endureG5278 it withG5278 patienceG5278? But ifG1487 34when you doG15 whatG15 isG15 rightG15 and sufferG3958 for it you patientlyG5278 endureG5278 it, thisG3778 finds favorG5485 with GodG2316. 21For 35you have been calledG2564 for thisG3778 purpose, 36becauseG3754 ChristG5547 alsoG2532 sufferedG3958 for you, leavingG5277 you 37an exampleG5261, soG2443 thatG2443 you would followG1872 in His stepsG2487, 22He whoG3739 38committedG4160 noG3756 sinG266, norG3761 was any deceitG1388 foundG2147 in His mouthG4750; 2339and while being 40abusivelyG3058 insultedG3058, He did not insultG486 inG486 returnG486; while sufferingG3958, He did notG3756 threatenG546, but kept entrustingG3860 Himself to Him who judgesG2919 righteouslyG1346; 24and He HimselfG846 4142broughtG399 our sinsG266 in His bodyG4983 upG399 on the 4344crossG3586, soG2443 thatG2443 we 45might dieG581 to 46sinG266 and liveG2198 for righteousnessG1343; 47by His 48woundsG3468 you were 49healedG2390. 25For you were 50continually strayingG4105 likeG5613 sheepG4263, but nowG3568 you have returnedG1994 to the 51ShepherdG4166 and 52GuardianG1985 of your soulsG5590.
