Live as God’s Chosen People

2Therefore, rid yourselves of every kind of evil and deception, hypocrisy, jealousy, and every kind of slander.G3767G659G3956G2549G2532G3956G1388G2532G5272G2532G5355G2532G3956G2636
2Like newborn babies, thirst for the pure milk of the word so that by it you may grow in your salvation.G5613G738G1025G1971G97G1051G3050G2443G837G1722G846
3Surely you have tasted that the Lord is good!2G1512G1089G3754G2962G5543
4As you come to him, the living stone who was rejected by people but was chosen and precious in God's sight,G4314G3739G4334G2198G3037G593G3303G5259G444G1161G1588G3844G2316G1784
5you, too, as living stones, are building yourselves up into a spiritual house and a holy priesthood, so that you may offer spiritual sacrifices that are acceptable to God through Jesus, the Messiah.G846G2532G5613G2198G3037G3618G4152G3624G40G2406G399G4152G2378G2144G2316G1223G2424G5547
6This is why it says in Scripture: "Look! I am laying a chosen, precious cornerstone in Zion. The one who believes in him will never be ashamed."G1352G2532G4023G1722G1124G2400G5087G1722G4622G204G3037G1588G1784G2532G4100G1909G846G2617G3364G2617
7Therefore he is precious to you who believe, but to those who do not believe, "The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone,G5213G3767G3588G4100G5092G1161G544G3037G3739G3618G593G3778G1096G1519G2776G1137
8a stone they stumble over and a rock they trip on." They keep on stumbling because they disobey the word, as they were destined to do.G2532G3037G4348G2532G4073G4625G3739G4350G3056G544G1519G3739G2532G5087
9But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people to be his very own and to proclaim the wonderful deeds of the one who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.G1161G5210G1588G1085G934G2406G40G1484G1519G4047G2992G3704G1804G703G2564G5209G1537G4655G1519G846G2298G5457
10Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God. Once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.G3588G4218G3756G2992G1161G3568G2992G2316G3588G1653G3756G1653G1161G3568G1653

Live as God’s Servants

11Dear friends, I urge you as aliens and exiles to keep on abstaining from the desires of the flesh that wage war against the soul.G27G3870G5613G3941G2532G3927G567G4559G1939G3748G4754G2596G5590
12Continue to live such upright lives among the gentiles that, when they slander you as evildoers, they may see your good actions and glorify God when he visits them.G2192G5216G391G2570G1722G1484G2443G1722G3739G2635G5216G5613G2555G1392G1537G2570G2041G2029G1392G2316G1722G2250G1984
13For the Lord's sake submit yourselves to every human authority: whether to the king as supreme,G3767G5293G3956G2937G442G1223G2962G1535G935G5613G5242
14or to governors who are sent by him to punish those who do wrong and to praise those who do right.G1535G2232G5613G3992G1223G846G1519G3303G1557G2555G1161G1868G17
15For it is God's will that by doing right you should silence the ignorant talk of foolish people.G3754G3779G2076G2307G2316G15G5392G56G878G444
16Live like free people, and do not use your freedom as an excuse for doing evil. Instead, be God's servants.G5613G1658G2532G3361G2192G1657G5613G1942G2549G235G5613G1401G2316
17Honor everyone. Keep on loving the community of believers, fearing God, and honoring the king.G5091G3956G25G81G5399G2316G5091G935

Suffer Patiently

18You household servants must submit yourselves to your masters out of respect, not only to those who are kind and fair, but also to those who are unjust.G3610G5293G1203G1722G3956G5401G3756G3440G18G2532G1933G235G2532G4646
19For it is a fine thing if, when moved by your conscience to please God, you suffer patiently when wronged.G1063G5124G5485G1487G5100G1223G4893G2316G5297G3077G3958G95
20What good does it do if, when you sin, you patiently receive punishment for it? But if you suffer for doing good and receive it patiently, you have God's approval.G1063G4169G2811G1487G2532G2852G264G5278G235G1487G15G2532G3958G5278G5124G5485G3844G2316
21This is, in fact, what you were called to do, because: The Messiah also suffered for you and left an example for you to follow in his steps.G1063G1519G5124G2564G3754G5547G2532G3958G5228G2257G5277G2254G5261G2443G1872G846G2487
22"He never sinned, and he never told a lie."G3739G4160G3756G266G3761G1388G2147G1722G846G4750
23When he was insulted, he did not retaliate. When he suffered, he did not threaten. It was his habit to commit the matter to the one who judges fairly.G3739G3058G486G3756G486G3958G546G3756G1161G3860G2919G1346
24"He himself bore our sins" in his body on the tree, so that we might die to those sins and live righteously. "By his wounds you have been healed."G3739G846G399G2257G266G1722G846G4983G1909G3586G2443G2198G581G266G2198G1343G3739G846G3468G2390
25You were "like sheep that kept going astray," but now you have returned to the shepherd and overseer of your souls.G1063G2258G5613G4263G4105G235G1994G3568G1994G1909G4166G2532G1985G5216G5590
