1Putting away^G659 therefore^G3767 all^G3956 wickedness^G2549, and^G2532 all^G3956 guile^G1388, and^G2532 hypocrisies^G5272, and^G2532 envies^G5355, and^G2532 all^G3956 evil speakings^G2636, 2as^G5613 newborn^G738 babes^G1025, long^G1971 for the spiritual^G97 milk^G1051 which is without guile, that^G2443 ye may grow^G837 thereby^G846 unto salvation; 3if ye have^G1512 tasted^G1089 that^G3754 the Lord^G2962 is gracious^G5543: 4unto^G4314 whom^G3739 coming^G4334, a living^G2198 stone^G3037, rejected^G593 indeed^G3303 of^G5259 men^G444, but^G1161 with^G3844 God^G2316 elect^G1588, precious^G1784, 5ye^G846 also^G2532, as^G5613 living^G2198 stones^G3037, are built up^G3618 a spiritual^G4152 house^G3624, to be a holy^G40 priesthood^G2406, to offer up^G399 spiritual^G4152 sacrifices^G2378, acceptable^G2144 to God^G2316 through^G1223 Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547. 6Because^G1352 it is contained^G4023 in^G1722 scripture^G1124, Behold^G2400, I lay^G5087 in^G1722 Zion^G4622 a chief corner^G204 stone^G3037, elect^G1588, precious^G1784: And^G2532 he that believeth^G4100 on^G1909 him^G846 shall^G2617 not^G3756 be put to shame^G2617. 7For you^G5213 therefore^G3767 that^G3588 believe^G4100 is the preciousness^G5092: but^G1161 for such as disbelieve^G544, The stone^G3037 which^G3739 the builders^G3618 rejected^G593, The same^G3778 was^G1096 made^G1519 the head^G2776 of the corner^G1137; 8and^G2532, A stone^G3037 of stumbling^G4348, and^G2532 a rock^G4073 of offence^G4625; for they^G3739 stumble^G4350 at the word^G3056, being disobedient^G544: whereunto^G1519 also^G2532 they were appointed^G5087. 9But^G1161 ye^G5210 are an elect^G1588 race^G1085, a royal^G934 priesthood^G2406, a holy^G40 nation^G1484, a^G1519 people^G2992 for God's own possession^G4047, that^G3704 ye may show forth^G1804 the excellencies^G703 of him who called^G2564 you^G5209 out of^G1537 darkness^G4655 into^G1519 his^G846 marvellous^G2298 light^G5457: 10who^G3588 in time past^G4218 were no^G3756 people^G2992, but^G1161 now^G3568 are the people^G2992 of God^G2316: who^G3588 had^G1653 not^G3756 obtained mercy^G1653, but^G1161 now^G3568 have obtained mercy^G1653. 11Beloved^G27, I beseech^G3870 you as^G5613 sojourners^G3941 and^G2532 pilgrims^G3927, to abstain^G567 from fleshly^G4559 lusts^G1939, which^G3748 war^G4754 against^G2596 the soul^G5590; 12having^G2192 your^G5216 behavior^G391 seemly^G2570 among^G1722 the Gentiles^G1484; that^G2443, wherein^G1722 they speak against^G2635 you^G5216 as^G5613 evil-doers^G2555, they may^G1392 by^G1537 your good^G2570 works^G2041, which they behold^G2029, glorify^G1392 God^G2316 in^G1722 the day^G2250 of visitation^G1984. 13Be subject^G5293 to every^G3956 ordinance^G2937 of man^G442 for^G1223 the Lord's sake^G2962: whether^G1535 to the king^G935, as^G5613 supreme^G5242; 14or^G1535 unto governors^G2232, as^G5613 sent^G3992 by^G1223 him^G846 for^G1519 vengeance^G1557 on evil-doers^G2555 and^G1161 for praise^G1868 to them that do well^G17. 15For^G3754 so^G3779 is^G2076 the will^G2307 of God^G2316, that by well-doing^G15 ye should put to silence^G5392 the ignorance^G56 of foolish^G878 men^G444: 16as^G5613 free^G1658, and^G2532 not^G3361 using^G2192 your freedom^G1657 for^G5613 a cloak^G1942 of wickedness^G2549, but^G235 as^G5613 bondservants^G1401 of God^G2316. 17Honor^G5091 all^G3956 men. Love^G25 the brotherhood^G81. Fear^G5399 God^G2316. Honor^G5091 the king^G935. 18Servants^G3610, be in subjection^G5293 to^G1203 your masters^G1203 with^G1722 all^G3956 fear^G5401; not^G3756 only^G3440 to the good^G18 and^G2532 gentle^G1933, but^G235 also^G2532 to the froward^G4646. 19For^G1063 this^G5124 is acceptable^G5485, if^G1487 for^G1223 conscience^G4893 toward God^G2316 a man^G5100 endureth^G5297 griefs^G3077, suffering^G3958 wrongfully^G95. 20For^G1063 what^G4169 glory^G2811 is it, if^G1487, when^G2532 ye sin^G264, and are buffeted^G2852 for it, ye shall take it patiently^G5278? but^G235 if^G1487, when ye do well^G15, and^G2532 suffer^G3958 for it, ye shall take it patiently^G5278, this^G5124 is acceptable^G5485 with^G3844 God^G2316. 21For^G1063 hereunto^G5124 were ye called^G2564: because^G3754 Christ^G5547 also^G2532 suffered^G3958 for^G5228 you^G2257, leaving^G5277 you^G2254 an example^G5261, that^G2443 ye should follow^G1872 his^G846 steps^G2487: 22who^G3739 did^G4160 no^G3756 sin^G266, neither^G3761 was^G2147 guile^G1388 found^G2147 in^G1722 his^G846 mouth^G4750: 23who^G3739, when he was reviled^G3058, reviled^G486 not^G3756 again^G486; when he suffered^G3958 threatened^G546 not^G3756; but^G1161 committed^G3860 himself to him that judgeth^G2919 righteously^G1346: 24who^G3739 his own^G846 self^G846 bare^G399 our^G2257 sins^G266 in^G1722 his body^G4983 upon^G1909 the tree^G3586, that^G2443 we^G2198, having died^G581 unto sins^G266, might live^G2198 unto righteousness^G1343; by^G3739 whose^G846 stripes^G3468 ye were healed^G2390. 25For^G1063 ye were^G2258 going astray^G4105 like^G5613 sheep^G4263; but^G235 are^G1994 now^G3568 returned^G1994 unto^G1909 the Shepherd^G4166 and^G2532 Bishop^G1985 of your^G5216 souls^G5590.
