A Living Stone and a Holy People

2So put away all malice and all deceit and hypocrisy and envy and all slander.G3767G659G3956G2549G2532G3956G1388G2532G5272G2532G5355G2532G3956G2636 2Like newborn infants, long for the pure spiritual milk, that by it you may grow up into salvation—G5613G738G1025G1971G97G1051G3050G2443G837G1722G846 3if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is good.G1512G1089G3754G2962G5543 4As you come to him, a living stone rejected by men but in the sight of God chosen and precious,G4314G3739G4334G2198G3037G593G3303G5259G444G1161G1588G3844G2316G1784 5you yourselves like living stones are being built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.G846G2532G5613G2198G3037G3618G4152G3624G40G2406G399G4152G2378G2144G2316G1223G2424G5547 6For it stands in Scripture: "Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone, a cornerstone chosen and precious, and whoever believes in him will not be put to shame."G1352G2532G4023G1722G1124G2400G5087G1722G4622G204G3037G1588G1784G2532G4100G1909G846G2617G3364G2617 7So the honor is for you who believe, but for those who do not believe, "The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone,"G5213G3767G3588G4100G5092G1161G544G3037G3739G3618G593G3778G1096G1519G2776G1137 8and "A stone of stumbling, and a rock of offense." They stumble because they disobey the word, as they were destined to do.G2532G3037G4348G2532G4073G4625G3739G4350G3056G544G1519G3739G2532G5087 9But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.G1161G5210G1588G1085G934G2406G40G1484G1519G4047G2992G3704G1804G703G2564G5209G1537G4655G1519G846G2298G5457 10Once you were not a people, but now you are God's people; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.G3588G4218G3756G2992G1161G3568G2992G2316G3588G1653G3756G1653G1161G3568G1653 11Beloved, I urge you as sojourners and exiles to abstain from the passions of the flesh, which wage war against your soul.G27G3870G5613G3941G2532G3927G567G4559G1939G3748G4754G2596G5590 12Keep your conduct among the Gentiles honorable, so that when they speak against you as evildoers, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day of visitation.G2192G5216G391G2570G1722G1484G2443G1722G3739G2635G5216G5613G2555G1392G1537G2570G2041G2029G1392G2316G1722G2250G1984

Submission to Authority

13Be subject for the Lord's sake to every human institution, whether it be to the emperor as supreme,G3767G5293G3956G2937G442G1223G2962G1535G935G5613G5242 14or to governors as sent by him to punish those who do evil and to praise those who do good.G1535G2232G5613G3992G1223G846G1519G3303G1557G2555G1161G1868G17 15For this is the will of God, that by doing good you should put to silence the ignorance of foolish people.G3754G3779G2076G2307G2316G15G5392G56G878G444 16Live as people who are free, not using your freedom as a cover-up for evil, but living as servants of God.G5613G1658G2532G3361G2192G1657G5613G1942G2549G235G5613G1401G2316 17Honor everyone. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the emperor.G5091G3956G25G81G5399G2316G5091G935 18Servants, be subject to your masters with all respect, not only to the good and gentle but also to the unjust.G3610G5293G1203G1722G3956G5401G3756G3440G18G2532G1933G235G2532G4646 19For this is a gracious thing, when, mindful of God, one endures sorrows while suffering unjustly.G1063G5124G5485G1487G5100G1223G4893G2316G5297G3077G3958G95 20For what credit is it if, when you sin and are beaten for it, you endure? But if when you do good and suffer for it you endure, this is a gracious thing in the sight of God.G1063G4169G2811G1487G2532G2852G264G5278G235G1487G15G2532G3958G5278G5124G5485G3844G2316 21For to this you have been called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, so that you might follow in his steps.G1063G1519G5124G2564G3754G5547G2532G3958G5228G2257G5277G2254G5261G2443G1872G846G2487 22He committed no sin, neither was deceit found in his mouth.G3739G4160G3756G266G3761G1388G2147G1722G846G4750 23When he was reviled, he did not revile in return; when he suffered, he did not threaten, but continued entrusting himself to him who judges justly.G3739G3058G486G3756G486G3958G546G3756G1161G3860G2919G1346 24He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed.G3739G846G399G2257G266G1722G846G4983G1909G3586G2443G2198G581G266G2198G1343G3739G846G3468G2390 25For you were straying like sheep, but have now returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.G1063G2258G5613G4263G4105G235G1994G3568G1994G1909G4166G2532G1985G5216G5590
