New International Version Help
2Therefore, rid yourselves of all malice and all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and slander of every kind.G3767G659G3956G2549G2532G3956G1388G2532G5272G2532G5355G2532G3956G2636 2Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation,G5613G738G1025G1971G97G1051G3050G2443G837G1722G846 3now that you have tasted that the Lord is good.G1512G1089G3754G2962G5543

The Living Stone and a Chosen People

4As you come to him, the living Stone—rejected by men but chosen by God and precious to him—G4314G3739G4334G2198G3037G593G3303G5259G444G1161G1588G3844G2316G1784 5you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.G846G2532G5613G2198G3037G3618G4152G3624G40G2406G399G4152G2378G2144G2316G1223G2424G5547 6For in Scripture it says: "See, I lay a stone in Zion, a chosen and precious cornerstone, and the one who trusts in him will never be put to shame."G1352G2532G4023G1722G1124G2400G5087G1722G4622G204G3037G1588G1784G2532G4100G1909G846G2617G3364G2617 7Now to you who believe, this stone is precious. But to those who do not believe, "The stone the builders rejected has become the capstone,"G5213G3767G3588G4100G5092G1161G544G3037G3739G3618G593G3778G1096G1519G2776G1137 8and, "A stone that causes men to stumble and a rock that makes them fall." They stumble because they disobey the message—which is also what they were destined for.G2532G3037G4348G2532G4073G4625G3739G4350G3056G544G1519G3739G2532G5087 9But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful 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

Living Godly Lives in a Pagan Society

11Dear friends, I urge you, as aliens and strangers in the world, to abstain from sinful desires, which war against your soul.G27G3870G5613G3941G2532G3927G567G4559G1939G3748G4754G2596G5590 12Live such good lives among the pagans that, though they accuse you of doing wrong, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day he visits us.G2192G5216G391G2570G1722G1484G2443G1722G3739G2635G5216G5613G2555G1392G1537G2570G2041G2029G1392G2316G1722G2250G1984 13Submit yourselves for the Lord's sake to every authority instituted among men: whether to the king, as the supreme authority,G3767G5293G3956G2937G442G1223G2962G1535G935G5613G5242 14or to governors, who are sent by him to punish those who do wrong and to commend those who do right.G1535G2232G5613G3992G1223G846G1519G3303G1557G2555G1161G1868G17 15For it is God's will that by doing good you should silence the ignorant talk of foolish men.G3754G3779G2076G2307G2316G15G5392G56G878G444 16Live as free men, but do not use your freedom as a cover-up for evil; live as servants of God.G5613G1658G2532G3361G2192G1657G5613G1942G2549G235G5613G1401G2316 17Show proper respect to everyone: Love the brotherhood of believers, fear God, honor the king.G5091G3956G25G81G5399G2316G5091G935 18Slaves, submit yourselves to your masters with all respect, not only to those who are good and considerate, but also to those who are harsh.G3610G5293G1203G1722G3956G5401G3756G3440G18G2532G1933G235G2532G4646 19For it is commendable if a man bears up under the pain of unjust suffering because he is conscious of God.G1063G5124G5485G1487G5100G1223G4893G2316G5297G3077G3958G95 20But how is it to your credit if you receive a beating for doing wrong and endure it? But if you suffer for doing good and you endure it, this is commendable before God.G1063G4169G2811G1487G2532G2852G264G5278G235G1487G15G2532G3958G5278G5124G5485G3844G2316 21To this you were called, because Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in his steps.G1063G1519G5124G2564G3754G5547G2532G3958G5228G2257G5277G2254G5261G2443G1872G846G2487 22"He committed no sin, and no deceit was found in his mouth."G3739G4160G3756G266G3761G1388G2147G1722G846G4750 23When they hurled their insults at him, he did not retaliate; when he suffered, he made no threats. Instead, he entrusted himself to him who judges justly.G3739G3058G486G3756G486G3958G546G3756G1161G3860G2919G1346 24He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed.G3739G846G399G2257G266G1722G846G4983G1909G3586G2443G2198G581G266G2198G1343G3739G846G3468G2390 25For you were like sheep going astray, but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.G1063G2258G5613G4263G4105G235G1994G3568G1994G1909G4166G2532G1985G5216G5590
