1
Therefore,
putting aside
all
malice
and
all
deceit
and hypocrisy
and envy
and
all
slander,
2
like
newborn
babies,
long
for the pure
milk
of the word,
so
that by it you may grow
in respect
to salvation,
3
if
you have tasted
the kindness
of the Lord.
4
And coming
to Him as to a living
stone
which has been rejected
by men,
but is choice
and precious
in the sight
of God,
5
you also,
as living
stones,
are being built
up as a spiritual
house
for a holy
priesthood,
to offer
up spiritual
sacrifices
acceptable
to God
through
Jesus
Christ.
6
For this is contained
in Scripture:
"BEHOLD,
I LAY
IN ZION
A CHOICE
STONE,
A PRECIOUS
CORNER
stone, AND HE WHO BELIEVES
IN HIM WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED."
7
This
precious value,
then,
is for you who believe;
but for those
who disbelieve,
"THE STONE
WHICH
THE BUILDERS
REJECTED,
THIS
BECAME
THE VERY
CORNER
stone,"
8
and, "A STONE
OF STUMBLING
AND A ROCK
OF OFFENSE";
for they stumble
because they are disobedient
to the word,
and to this
doom they were also
appointed.
9
But you are A CHOSEN
RACE,
A royal
PRIESTHOOD,
A HOLY
NATION,
A PEOPLE
FOR God's OWN POSSESSION,
so
that you may proclaim
the excellencies
of Him who has called
you out of darkness
into His marvelous
light;
10
for you once
were NOT A PEOPLE,
but now
you are THE PEOPLE
OF GOD;
you had NOT RECEIVED
MERCY,
but now
you have RECEIVED MERCY.
11
Beloved,
I urge
you as aliens
and strangers
to abstain
from fleshly
lusts
which
wage war
against
the soul.
12
Keep
your behavior
excellent
among
the Gentiles,
so
that in the thing in which
they slander
you as evildoers,
they may because
of your good
deeds,
as they observe
them, glorify
God
in the day
of visitation.
13
Submit
yourselves for the Lord's
sake
to every
human
institution,
whether
to a king
as the one in authority,
14
or
to govern
or
s
as sent
by him f
or
the punishment
of evildoers
and the praise
of those who do right.
15
For such
is the will
of God
that by doing right
you may silence
the ignorance
of foolish
men.
16
Act as free men,
and do not use
your freedom
as a covering
for evil,
but use it as bondslaves
of God.
17
Honor
all people,
love
the brotherhood,
fear
God,
honor
the king.
18
Servants,
be submissive
to your masters
with all
respect,
not only
to those
who are good
and gentle,
but also
to those
who are unreasonable.
19
For this
finds favor,
if
for the sake
of conscience
toward God
a person
bears up under
sorrows
when suffering
unjustly.
20
For what
credit
is there if,
when you sin
and are harshly treated,
you endure
it with patience?
But if
when you do what is right
and suffer
for it you patiently endure
it, this
finds favor
with God.
21
For you have been called
for this
purpose, since
Christ
also
suffered
for you, leaving
you an example
for you to follow
in His steps,
22
WHO
COMMITTED
NO
SIN,
NO
R
WAS ANY DECEIT
FOUND
IN HIS MOUTH;
23
and while being reviled,
He did
no
t revile in return;
while suffering,
He uttered
no
threats,
but kept entrusting
Himself to Him who judges
righteously;
24
and He Himself
bore
our sins
in His body
on the cross,
so
that we might die
to sin
and live
to righteousness;
for by His wounds
you were healed.
25
For you were continually straying
like
sheep,
but now
you have returned
to the Shepherd
and Guardian
of your souls.
