1 Peter 2
1 Therefore, set aside all malice and all deceitfulness, as well as falseness and envy and every detraction.
αποθεμενοι ουν πασαν κακιαν και παντα δολον και υποκρισεισ και φθονουσ και πασασ καταλαλιασ
2 Like newborn infants, desire the milk of reasonableness without guile, so that by this you may increase unto salvation,
ωσ αρτιγεννητα βρεφη το λογικον αδολον γαλα επιποθησατε ινα εν αυτω αυξηθητε
3 if it is true that you have tasted that the Lord is sweet.
ειπερ εγευσασθε οτι χρηστοσ ο κυριοσ
4 And approaching him as if he were a living stone, rejected by men, certainly, but elect and honored by God,
προσ ον προσερχομενοι λιθον ζωντα υπο ανθρωπων μεν αποδεδοκιμασμενον παρα δε θεω εκλεκτον εντιμον
5 be also yourselves like living stones, built upon him, a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, so as 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 Because of this, Scripture asserts: “Behold, I am setting in Zion a chief cornerstone, elect, precious. And whoever will have believed in him will not be confounded.”
διοτι περιεχει εν τη γραφη ιδου τιθημι εν σιων λιθον ακρογωνιαιον εκλεκτον εντιμον και ο πιστευων επ αυτω ου μη καταισχυνθη
7 Therefore, to you who believe, he is honor. But to those who do not believe, the stone which the builders have rejected, the same has been made into 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 offense, and a rock of scandal, to those who are offended by the Word; neither do they believe, though they also have been built upon him.
και λιθοσ προσκομματοσ και πετρα σκανδαλου οι προσκοπτουσιν τω λογω απειθουντεσ εισ ο και ετεθησαν
9 But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, an acquired people, so that you may announce the virtues of him who has 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 Though in past times you were not a people, yet now you are the people of God. Though you had not obtained mercy, yet now you have obtained mercy.
οι ποτε ου λαοσ νυν δε λαοσ θεου οι ουκ ηλεημενοι νυν δε ελεηθεντεσ
11 Most beloved, I beg you, as new arrivals and sojourners, to abstain from carnal desires, which battle against the soul.
αγαπητοι παρακαλω ωσ παροικουσ και παρεπιδημουσ απεχεσθαι των σαρκικων επιθυμιων αιτινεσ στρατευονται κατα τησ ψυχησ
12 Keep your behavior among the Gentiles to what is good, so that, when they slander you as if you were evildoers, they may, by the good works that are seen in you, glorify God on the day of visitation.
την αναστροφην υμων εχοντεσ καλην εν τοισ εθνεσιν ινα εν ω καταλαλουσιν υμων ωσ κακοποιων εκ των καλων εργων εποπτευσαντεσ δοξασωσιν τον θεον εν ημερα επισκοπησ
13 Therefore, be subject to every human creature because of God, whether it is to the king as preeminent,
υποταγητε ουν παση ανθρωπινη κτισει δια τον κυριον ειτε βασιλει ωσ υπερεχοντι
14 or to leaders as having been sent from him for vindication over evildoers, it is truly for the praise of what is good.
ειτε ηγεμοσιν ωσ δι αυτου πεμπομενοισ εισ εκδικησιν κακοποιων επαινον δε αγαθοποιων
15 For such is the will of God, that by doing good you may bring about the silence of imprudent and ignorant men,
οτι ουτωσ εστιν το θελημα του θεου αγαθοποιουντασ φιμουν την των αφρονων ανθρωπων αγνωσιαν
16 in an open manner, and not as if cloaking malice with liberty, but like servants of God.
ωσ ελευθεροι και μη ωσ επικαλυμμα εχοντεσ τησ κακιασ την ελευθεριαν αλλ ωσ δουλοι θεου
17 Honor everyone. Love brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the king.
παντασ τιμησατε την αδελφοτητα αγαπησατε τον θεον φοβεισθε τον βασιλεα τιματε
18 Servants, be subject to your masters with all fear, not only to the good and meek, but also to the unruly.
οι οικεται υποτασσομενοι εν παντι φοβω τοισ δεσποταισ ου μονον τοισ αγαθοισ και επιεικεσιν αλλα και τοισ σκολιοισ
19 For this is grace: when, because of God, a man willingly endures sorrows, suffering injustice.
τουτο γαρ χαρισ ει δια συνειδησιν θεου υποφερει τισ λυπασ πασχων αδικωσ
20 For what glory is there, if you sin and then suffer a beating? But if you do well and suffer patiently, this is grace with God.
ποιον γαρ κλεοσ ει αμαρτανοντεσ και κολαφιζομενοι υπομενειτε αλλ ει αγαθοποιουντεσ και πασχοντεσ υπομενειτε τουτο χαρισ παρα θεω
21 For you have been called to this because Christ also suffered for us, leaving you an example, so that you would follow in his footsteps.
εισ τουτο γαρ εκληθητε οτι και χριστοσ επαθεν υπερ ημων υμιν υπολιμπανων υπογραμμον ινα επακολουθησητε τοισ ιχνεσιν αυτου
22 He committed no sin, neither was deceit found in his mouth.
οσ αμαρτιαν ουκ εποιησεν ουδε ευρεθη δολοσ εν τω στοματι αυτου
23 And when evil was spoken against him, he did not speak evil. When he suffered, he did not threaten. Then he handed himself over to him who judged him unjustly.
οσ λοιδορουμενοσ ουκ αντελοιδορει πασχων ουκ ηπειλει παρεδιδου δε τω κρινοντι δικαιωσ
24 He himself bore our sins in his body upon the tree, so that we, having died to sin, would live for justice. By his wounds, you have been 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 you were like wandering sheep. But now you have been turned back toward the Pastor and the Bishop of your souls.
ητε γαρ ωσ προβατα πλανωμενα αλλ επεστραφητε νυν επι τον ποιμενα και επισκοπον των ψυχων υμων
