1 Peter 2
1 Putting away therefore all wickedness, all deceit, hypocrisies, envies, and all evil speaking,
sarvvAn dvESAn sarvvAMzca chalAn kApaTyAnIrSyAH samastaglAnikathAzca dUrIkRtya
2 as newborn babies, long for the pure spiritual milk, that with it you may grow,
yuSmAbhiH paritrANAya vRddhiprAptyarthaM navajAtazizubhiriva prakRtaM vAgdugdhaM pipAsyatAM|
3 if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is gracious.
yataH prabhu rmadhura EtasyAsvAdaM yUyaM prAptavantaH|
4 Come to him, a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God, precious.
aparaM mAnuSairavajnjAtasya kintvIzvarENAbhirucitasya bahumUlyasya jIvatprastarasyEva tasya prabhOH sannidhim AgatA
5 You also as living stones are built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
yUyamapi jIvatprastarA iva nicIyamAnA AtmikamandiraM khrISTEna yIzunA cEzvaratOSakANAm AtmikabalInAM dAnArthaM pavitrO yAjakavargO bhavatha|
6 Because it is contained in Scripture, “Behold, I lay in Zion a chief cornerstone, chosen and precious. He who believes in him will not be disappointed.”
yataH zAstrE likhitamAstE, yathA, pazya pASANa EkO 'sti sIyOni sthApitO mayA| mukhyakONasya yOgyaH sa vRtazcAtIva mUlyavAn| yO janO vizvasEt tasmin sa lajjAM na gamiSyati|
7 For you who believe therefore is the honor, but for those who are disobedient, “The stone which the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone,”
vizvAsinAM yuSmAkamEva samIpE sa mUlyavAn bhavati kintvavizvAsinAM kRtE nicEtRbhiravajnjAtaH sa pASANaH kONasya bhittimUlaM bhUtvA bAdhAjanakaH pASANaH skhalanakArakazca zailO jAtaH|
8 and, “a stumbling stone and a rock of offense.” For they stumble at the word, being disobedient, to which also they were appointed.
tE cAvizvAsAd vAkyEna skhalanti skhalanE ca niyuktAH santi|
9 But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, that you may proclaim the excellence of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.

10 In the past, you were not a people, but now are God’s people, who had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.
pUrvvaM yUyaM tasya prajA nAbhavata kintvidAnIm Izvarasya prajA AdhvE| pUrvvam ananukampitA abhavata kintvidAnIm anukampitA AdhvE|
11 Beloved, I beg you as foreigners and pilgrims to abstain from fleshly lusts which war against the soul,
hE priyatamAH, yUyaM pravAsinO vidEzinazca lOkA iva manasaH prAtikUlyEna yOdhibhyaH zArIrikasukhAbhilASEbhyO nivarttadhvam ityahaM vinayE|
12 having good behavior among the nations, so in that of which they speak against you as evildoers, they may see your good works and glorify God in the day of visitation.

13 Therefore subject yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake: whether to the king, as supreme,
tatO hEtO ryUyaM prabhOranurOdhAt mAnavasRSTAnAM kartRtvapadAnAM vazIbhavata vizESatO bhUpAlasya yataH sa zrESThaH,
14 or to governors, as sent by him for vengeance on evildoers and for praise to those who do well.
dEzAdhyakSANAnjca yatastE duSkarmmakAriNAM daNPadAnArthaM satkarmmakAriNAM prazaMsArthanjca tEna prEritAH|
15 For this is the will of God, that by well-doing you should put to silence the ignorance of foolish men.
itthaM nirbbOdhamAnuSANAm ajnjAnatvaM yat sadAcAribhi ryuSmAbhi rniruttarIkriyatE tad IzvarasyAbhimataM|
16 Live as free people, yet not using your freedom for a cloak of wickedness, but as bondservants of God.
yUyaM svAdhInA ivAcarata tathApi duSTatAyA vESasvarUpAM svAdhInatAM dhArayanta iva nahi kintvIzvarasya dAsA iva|
17 Honor all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the king.
sarvvAn samAdriyadhvaM bhrAtRvargE prIyadhvam IzvarAd bibhIta bhUpAlaM sammanyadhvaM|
18 Servants, be in subjection to your masters with all respect, not only to the good and gentle, but also to the wicked.
hE dAsAH yUyaM sampUrNAdarENa prabhUnAM vazyA bhavata kEvalaM bhadrANAM dayAlUnAnjca nahi kintvanRjUnAmapi|
19 For it is commendable if someone endures pain, suffering unjustly, because of conscience toward God.
yatO 'nyAyEna duHkhabhOgakAla IzvaracintayA yat klEzasahanaM tadEva priyaM|
20 For what glory is it if, when you sin, you patiently endure beating? But if when you do well, you patiently endure suffering, this is commendable with God.
pApaM kRtvA yuSmAkaM capETAghAtasahanEna kA prazaMsA? kintu sadAcAraM kRtvA yuSmAkaM yad duHkhasahanaM tadEvEzvarasya priyaM|
21 For you were called to this, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving you an example, that you should follow his steps,
tadarthamEva yUyam AhUtA yataH khrISTO'pi yuSmannimittaM duHkhaM bhuktvA yUyaM yat tasya padacihnai rvrajEta tadarthaM dRSTAntamEkaM darzitavAn|
22 who didn’t sin, “neither was deceit found in his mouth.”
sa kimapi pApaM na kRtavAn tasya vadanE kApi chalasya kathA nAsIt|
23 When he was cursed, he didn’t curse back. When he suffered, he didn’t threaten, but committed himself to him who judges righteously.
ninditO 'pi san sa pratinindAM na kRtavAn duHkhaM sahamAnO 'pi na bhartsitavAn kintu yathArthavicArayituH samIpE svaM samarpitavAn|
24 He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live to righteousness. You were healed by his wounds.

25 For you were going astray like sheep; but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.
