1 Peter 2

1 Therefore, having put off all evil and all deceit and hypocrisies and envies and all evil speaking,

αποθεμενοι ουν πασαν κακιαν και παντα δολον και υποκρισεις και φθονους και πασας καταλαλιας

2 as newborn babes, long for the genuine intellectual milk, so that ye may grow by it,

ως αρτιγεννητα βρεφη το λογικον αδολον γαλα επιποθησατε ινα εν αυτω αυξηθητε

3 if indeed ye have tasted that the Lord is excellent.

ειπερ εγευσασθε οτι χρηστος ο κυριος

4 Coming to whom, a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but with God chosen, precious,

προς ον προσερχομενοι λιθον ζωντα υπο ανθρωπων μεν αποδεδοκιμασμενον παρα δε θεω εκλεκτον εντιμον

5 ye also, as living stones, are built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

και αυτοι ως λιθοι ζωντες οικοδομεισθε οικος πνευματικος ιερατευμα αγιον ανενεγκαι πνευματικας θυσιας ευπροσδεκτους τω θεω δια ιησου χριστου

6 It is therefore contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Zion a chief corner stone, chosen, precious. And he who believes in him will, no, not be shamed.

διο και περιεχει εν τη γραφη ιδου τιθημι εν σιων λιθον ακρογωνιαιον εκλεκτον εντιμον και ο πιστευων επ αυτω ου μη καταισχυνθη

7 To you therefore who believe is the preciousness, but for men who disobey, A stone that the builders rejected, this became the head of the corner,

υμιν ουν η τιμη τοις πιστευουσιν απειθουσιν δε λιθον ον απεδοκιμασαν οι οικοδομουντες ουτος εγενηθη εις κεφαλην γωνιας

8 and, A stone of stumbling and a rock of offense, men who stumble at the word, being disobedient, for which also they were set.

και λιθος προσκομματος και πετρα σκανδαλου οι προσκοπτουσιν τω λογω απειθουντες εις ο και ετεθησαν

9 But ye are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for an acquired possession, so that ye might broadly proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.

υμεις δε γενος εκλεκτον βασιλειον ιερατευμα εθνος αγιον λαος εις περιποιησιν οπως τας αρετας εξαγγειλητε του εκ σκοτους υμας καλεσαντος εις το θαυμαστον αυτου φως

10 Men formerly not a people, but now are a people of God. Men who had not obtained mercy, but who now have obtained mercy.

οι ποτε ου λαος νυν δε λαος θεου οι ουκ ηλεημενοι νυν δε ελεηθεντες

11 Beloved, I beseech you as aliens and sojourners, to abstain from the fleshly lusts, which war against the soul.

αγαπητοι παρακαλω ως παροικους και παρεπιδημους απεχεσθαι των σαρκικων επιθυμιων αιτινες στρατευονται κατα της ψυχης

12 Having your behavior good among the Gentiles, so that, upon which they speak against you as evildoers, they may glorify God in the day of visitation, from having observed your good works.

την αναστροφην υμων εν τοις εθνεσιν εχοντες καλην ινα εν ω καταλαλουσιν υμων ως κακοποιων εκ των καλων εργων εποπτευσαντες δοξασωσιν τον θεον εν ημερα επισκοπης

13 Therefore because of the Lord, ye should submit to every human establishment, whether to a king as being supreme,

υποταγητε ουν παση ανθρωπινη κτισει δια τον κυριον ειτε βασιλει ως υπερεχοντι

14 or to governors as being sent by him for vengeance of evildoers and praise of well-doers.

ειτε ηγεμοσιν ως δι αυτου πεμπομενοις εις εκδικησιν μεν κακοποιων επαινον δε αγαθοποιων

15 Because this way is the will of God, doing good to muzzle the ignorance of the foolish men.

οτι ουτως εστιν το θελημα του θεου αγαθοποιουντας φιμουν την των αφρονων ανθρωπων αγνωσιαν

16 As free, and not having your freedom as a cover-up of evil, but as bondmen of God.

ως ελευθεροι και μη ως επικαλυμμα εχοντες της κακιας την ελευθεριαν αλλ ως δουλοι θεου

17 Respect all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Respect the king.

παντας τιμησατε την αδελφοτητα αγαπατε τον θεον φοβεισθε τον βασιλεα τιματε

18 Household servants, submitting to the masters with all fear, not only to the good and gentle, but also to the wayward.

οι οικεται υποτασσομενοι εν παντι φοβω τοις δεσποταις ου μονον τοις αγαθοις και επιεικεσιν αλλα και τοις σκολιοις

19 For this is graciousness, if, because of consciousness of God, any man endures sorrows, suffering wrongfully.

τουτο γαρ χαρις ει δια συνειδησιν θεου υποφερει τις λυπας πασχων αδικως

20 For what kind of credit is it, if, sinning and being beaten, ye will endure? But if, doing good and suffering, ye will endure, this is graciousness with God.

ποιον γαρ κλεος ει αμαρτανοντες και κολαφιζομενοι υπομενειτε αλλ ει αγαθοποιουντες και πασχοντες υπομενειτε τουτο χαρις παρα θεω

21 For ye were called for this. Because Christ also suffered for us, leaving you an example, so that ye should follow his footsteps.

εις τουτο γαρ εκληθητε οτι και χριστος επαθεν υπερ ημων ημιν υπολιμπανων υπογραμμον ινα επακολουθησητε τοις ιχνεσιν αυτου

22 Who did no sin, nor was deceit found in his mouth.

ος αμαρτιαν ουκ εποιησεν ουδε ευρεθη δολος εν τω στοματι αυτου

23 Who, being reviled, did not revile in return. Suffering, he did not threaten, but yielded to him who judges righteously.

ος λοιδορουμενος ουκ αντελοιδορει πασχων ουκ ηπειλει παρεδιδου δε τω κρινοντι δικαιως

24 Who himself took up our sins in his body upon the tree, so that we, having died to sins, might live to the righteousness of him from whose wound ye were healed.

ος τας αμαρτιας ημων αυτος ανηνεγκεν εν τω σωματι αυτου επι το ξυλον ινα ταις αμαρτιαις απογενομενοι τη δικαιοσυνη ζησωμεν ου τω μωλωπι αυτου ιαθητε

25 For ye were like sheep going astray, but now were returned to the Shepherd and Guardian of your souls.

ητε γαρ ως προβατα πλανωμενα αλλ επεστραφητε νυν επι τον ποιμενα και επισκοπον των ψυχων υμων
