2SO BE done with every trace of wickedness (depravity, malignity) and all deceit and insincerity (pretense, hypocrisy) and grudges (envy, jealousy) and slander {and} evil speaking of every kind.G3767G659G3956G2549G2532G3956G1388G2532G5272G2532G5355G2532G3956G2636 2Like newborn babies you should crave (thirst for, earnestly desire) the pure (unadulterated) spiritual milk, that by it you may be nurtured {and} grow unto [completed] salvation,G5613G738G1025G1971G97G1051G3050G2443G837G1722G846 3Since you have [already] tasted the goodness {and} kindness of the Lord.G1512G1089G3754G2962G5543 4Come to Him [then, to that] Living Stone which men tried {and} threw away, but which is chosen [and] precious in God's sight.G4314G3739G4334G2198G3037G593G3303G5259G444G1161G1588G3844G2316G1784 5[Come] and, like living stones, be yourselves built [into] a spiritual house, for a holy (dedicated, consecrated) priesthood, to offer up [those] spiritual sacrifices [that are] acceptable {and} pleasing to God through Jesus Christ.G846G2532G5613G2198G3037G3618G4152G3624G40G2406G399G4152G2378G2144G2316G1223G2424G5547 6For thus it stands in Scripture: Behold, I am laying in Zion a chosen (honored), precious chief Cornerstone, and he who believes in Him [who adheres to, trusts in, and relies on Him] shall never be disappointed {or} put to shame.G1352G2532G4023G1722G1124G2400G5087G1722G4622G204G3037G1588G1784G2532G4100G1909G846G2617G3364G2617 7To you then who believe (who adhere to, trust in, and rely on Him) is the preciousness; but for those who disbelieve [it is true], The [very] Stone which the builders rejected has become the main Cornerstone,G5213G3767G3588G4100G5092G1161G544G3037G3739G3618G593G3778G1096G1519G2776G1137 8And, A Stone that will cause stumbling and a Rock that will give [men] offense; they stumble because they disobey {and} disbelieve [God's] Word, as those [who reject Him] were destined (appointed) to do.G2532G3037G4348G2532G4073G4625G3739G4350G3056G544G1519G3739G2532G5087 9But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a dedicated nation, [God's] own purchased, special people, that you may set forth the wonderful deeds {and} display the virtues and perfections of Him Who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.G1161G5210G1588G1085G934G2406G40G1484G1519G4047G2992G3704G1804G703G2564G5209G1537G4655G1519G846G2298G5457 10Once you were not a people [at all], but now you are God's people; once you were unpitied, but now you are pitied {and} have received mercy.G3588G4218G3756G2992G1161G3568G2992G2316G3588G1653G3756G1653G1161G3568G1653 11Beloved, I implore you as aliens and strangers {and} exiles [in this world] to abstain from the sensual urges (the evil desires, the passions of the flesh, your lower nature) that wage war against the soul.G27G3870G5613G3941G2532G3927G567G4559G1939G3748G4754G2596G5590 12Conduct yourselves properly (honorably, righteously) among the Gentiles, so that, although they may slander you as evildoers, [yet] they may by witnessing your good deeds [come to] glorify God in the day of inspection [when God shall look upon you wanderers as a pastor or shepherd looks over his flock].G2192G5216G391G2570G1722G1484G2443G1722G3739G2635G5216G5613G2555G1392G1537G2570G2041G2029G1392G2316G1722G2250G1984 13Be submissive to every human institution {and} authority for the sake of the Lord, whether it be to the emperor as supreme,G3767G5293G3956G2937G442G1223G2962G1535G935G5613G5242 14Or to governors as sent by him to bring vengeance (punishment, justice) to those who do wrong and to encourage those who do good service.G1535G2232G5613G3992G1223G846G1519G3303G1557G2555G1161G1868G17 15For it is God's will {and} intention that by doing right [your good and honest lives] should silence (muzzle, gag) the ignorant charges {and} ill-informed criticisms of foolish persons.G3754G3779G2076G2307G2316G15G5392G56G878G444 16[Live] as free people, [yet] without employing your freedom as a pretext for wickedness; but [live at all times] as servants of God.G5613G1658G2532G3361G2192G1657G5613G1942G2549G235G5613G1401G2316 17Show respect for all men [treat them honorably]. Love the brotherhood (the Christian fraternity of which Christ is the Head). Reverence God. Honor the emperor.G5091G3956G25G81G5399G2316G5091G935 18[You who are] household servants, be submissive to your masters with all [proper] respect, not only to those who are kind and considerate {and} reasonable, but also to those who are surly (overbearing, unjust, and crooked).G3610G5293G1203G1722G3956G5401G3756G3440G18G2532G1933G235G2532G4646 19For one is regarded favorably (is approved, acceptable, and thankworthy) if, as in the sight of God, he endures the pain of unjust suffering.G1063G5124G5485G1487G5100G1223G4893G2316G5297G3077G3958G95 20[After all] what kind of glory [is there in it] if, when you do wrong and are punished for it, you take it patiently? But if you bear patiently with suffering [which results] when you do right {and} that is undeserved, it is acceptable {and} pleasing to God.G1063G4169G2811G1487G2532G2852G264G5278G235G1487G15G2532G3958G5278G5124G5485G3844G2316 21For even to this were you called [it is inseparable from your vocation]. For Christ also suffered for you, leaving you [His personal] example, so that you should follow in His footsteps.G1063G1519G5124G2564G3754G5547G2532G3958G5228G2257G5277G2254G5261G2443G1872G846G2487 22He was guilty of no sin, neither was deceit (guile) ever found on His lips.G3739G4160G3756G266G3761G1388G2147G1722G846G4750 23When He was reviled {and} insulted, He did not revile {or} offer insult in return; [when] He was abused {and} suffered, He made no threats [of vengeance]; but he trusted [Himself and everything] to Him Who judges fairly.G3739G3058G486G3756G486G3958G546G3756G1161G3860G2919G1346 24He personally bore our sins in His [own] body on the tree [as on an altar and offered Himself on it], that we might die (cease to exist) to sin and live to righteousness. By His wounds you have been healed.G3739G846G399G2257G266G1722G846G4983G1909G3586G2443G2198G581G266G2198G1343G3739G846G3468G2390 25For you were going astray like [so many] sheep, but now you have come back to the Shepherd and Guardian (the Bishop) of your souls.G1063G2258G5613G4263G4105G235G1994G3568G1994G1909G4166G2532G1985G5216G5590
