< 1 Peter 2 >
1 Having put aside therefore all malice and all deceit and (hypocrisies *NK(O)*) and envies and all evil speakings
2 like newborn babies reasonable pure milk do crave so that by it you may grow up (in respect to salvation, *NO*)
3 (if *N(k)O*) you have tasted that [is] good the Lord.
4 To whom coming a stone living, by men indeed rejected in the sight of however God chosen [and] precious,
5 also you yourselves as stones living are being built up as a house spiritual (into *no*) a priesthood holy to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable (*NK*) to God through Jesus Christ.
6 (Therefore *N(k)O*) it is contained in (*k*) Scripture: Behold I lay in Zion a stone cornerstone a chosen precious, and the [one] who is believing on Him certainly not may be put to shame.
7 To you therefore [is] the preciousness of those believing; ([for those] disbelieving *N(K)O*) however ([the] stone *N(k)O*) which rejected those building, this has become into [the] head of [the] corner
8 and A stone of stumbling and a rock of offense, [They] stumble at on the word being disobedient, to which also they were appointed;
9 You yourselves however [are] a race chosen, a royal priesthood, a nation holy, a people for [His] possession, so that the excellencies you may proclaim of the [One] out of darkness you having called to the marvelous of Him light;
10 who once [were] not a people, now however [the] people of God, those [who] not received mercy, now however having received mercy.
11 Beloved, I exhort [you] as aliens and sojourners to abstain from fleshly desires, which war against the soul;
12 the conduct of you among the Gentiles keeping honorable, so that wherein which they speak against you as evildoers, through the good deeds (having witnessed *N(k)O*) they may glorify God in [the] day of visitation.
13 do be subjected (therefore *K*) to every human institution for the sake of the Lord; whether to [the] king as being supreme;
14 or to governors as through him being sent for vengeance (indeed *k*) to evildoers, praise however to well-doers;
15 because this is the will of God doing good to put to silence the of foolish men ignorance;
16 as free and not as a cover-up having for evil the freedom, but as of God servants.
17 Everyone do honor, The brotherhood (do love, *NK(o)*) God do fear, the king do honor.
18 you who [are] Servants be subject with all fear to masters, not only to the good and gentle, but also to the unreasonable.
19 This for [is] acceptable, if for sake of conscience toward God endures anyone griefs suffering unjustly.
20 What kind of for credit [is it] if sinning and being struck you will endure? But if doing good and suffering you will endure, this [is] commendable before God.
21 To this hereunto for you have been called, because also Christ suffered for (for you, *N(K)O*) you leaving an example that you may follow after the steps of Him:
22 Who sin not committed, neither was found trickery in the mouth of Him,
23 Who being reviled not was not reviling back suffering not was threatening He was delivering [Himself] however to the [One] judging justly;
24 Who the sins of us Himself bore in the body of Him on the tree so that to sins having been dead to righteousness we may live; Of whom by the wounds (of him *k*) you have been healed.
25 You were for like sheep (going astray *N(k)O*) but you have returned now to the Shepherd and Overseer of the souls of you.
