ASV_Strong : 1 Peter 2
1. Putting away[G659] therefore[G3767] all[G3956] wickedness[G2549], and[G2532] all[G3956] guile[G1388], and[G2532] hypocrisies[G5272], and[G2532] envies[G5355], and[G2532] all[G3956] evil speakings[G2636],
2. as[G5613] newborn[G738] babes[G1025], long[G1971] for the spiritual[G97] milk[G1051, Leviticus50] which is without guile[G2443], that ye may grow[G837] thereby unto salvation[G846];
3. if ye have[G1512] tasted[G1089] that[G3754] the Lord[G2962] is gracious[G5543]:
4. unto[G4314] whom[G3739] coming[G4334], a living[G2198] stone[G3037], rejected[G593] indeed[G3303] of[G5259] men[G444], but[G1161] with[G3844] God[G2316] elect[G1588], precious[G1784],
5. ye[G846] also[G2532], as[G5613] living[G2198] stones[G3037], are built up[G3618] a spiritual[G4152] house[G3624], to be a holy[G40] priesthood[G2406], to offer up[G399] spiritual[G4152] sacrifices[G2378], acceptable[G2144] to God[G2316] through[G1223] Jesus[G2424] Christ[G5547].
6. Because[G1352, 2532] it is contained[G4023] in[G1722] scripture[G1124], Behold[G2400], I lay[G5087] in[G1722] Zion[G4622] a chief corner[G204] stone[G3037], elect[G1588], precious[G1784]: And[G2532] he that believeth[G4100] on[G1909] him[G846] shall[G2617] not[G3756, 3361] be put to shame[G2617].
7. For you[G5213] therefore[G3767] that[G3588] believe[G4100] is the preciousness[G5092]: but[G1161] for such as disbelieve[G544], The stone[G3037] which[G3739] the builders[G3618] rejected[G593], The same[G3778] was[G1096] made[G1519] the head[G2776] of the corner[G1137];
8. and[G2532], A stone[G3037] of stumbling[G4348], and[G2532] a rock[G4073] of offence[G4625]; for they[G3739] stumble[G4350] at the word[G3056], being disobedient[G544]: whereunto[G1519] also[G2532] they were appointed[G5087].
9. But[G1161] ye[G5210] are an elect[G1588] race[G1085], a royal[G934] priesthood[G2406], a holy[G40] nation[G1484], a[G1519] people[G2992] for God[G4047]'s own possession, that[G3704] ye may show forth[G1804] the excellencies[G703] of him who called[G2564] you[G5209] out of[G1537] darkness[G4655] into[G1519] his[G846] marvellous[G2298] light[G5457]:
10. who[G3588] in time past[G4218] were no[G3756] people[G2992], but[G1161] now[G3568] are the people[G2992] of God[G2316]: who[G3588] had[G1653] not[G3756] obtained mercy[G1653], but[G1161] now[G3568] have obtained mercy[G1653].
11. Beloved[G27], I beseech[G3870] you as[G5613] sojourners[G3941] and[G2532] pilgrims[G3927], to abstain[G567] from fleshly[G4559] lusts[G1939], which[G3748] war[G4754] against[G2596] the soul[G5590];
12. having[G2192] your[G5216] behavior[G391] seemly[G2570] among[G1722] the Gentiles[G1484]; that[G2443], wherein[G1722, 3739] they speak against[G2635] you[G5216] as[G5613] evil-doers[G2555], they may[G1392] by[G1537] your good[G2570] works[G2041], which they behold[G2029], glorify[G1392] God[G2316] in[G1722] the day[G2250] of visitation[G1984].
13. Be subject[G5293] to every[G3956] ordinance[G2937] of man[G442] for[G1223] the Lord[G2962]'s sake: whether[G1535] to the king[G935], as[G5613] supreme[G5242];
14. or[G1535] unto governors[G2232], as[G5613] sent[G3992] by[G1223] him[G846] for[G1519] vengeance[G1557] on evil-doers[G2555] and[G1161] for praise[G1868] to them that do well[G17].
15. For[G3754] so[G3779] is[G2076] the will[G2307] of God[G2316], that by well-doing[G15] ye should put to silence[G5392] the ignorance[G56] of foolish[G878] men[G444]:
16. as[G5613] free[G1658], and[G2532] not[G3361] using[G2192] your freedom[G1657] for[G5613] a cloak[G1942] of wickedness[G2549], but[G235] as[G5613] bondservants[G1401] of God[G2316].
17. Honor[G5091] all[G3956] men[G25]. Love the brotherhood[G81]. Fear[G5399] God[G2316]. Honor[G5091] the king[G935].
18. Servants[G3610], be in subjection[G5293] to[G1203] your masters[G1203] with[G1722] all[G3956] fear[G5401]; not[G3756] only[G3440] to the good[G18] and[G2532] gentle[G1933], but[G235] also[G2532] to the froward[G4646].
19. For[G1063] this[G5124] is acceptable[G5485], if[G1487] for[G1223] conscience[G4893] toward God[G2316] a man[G5100] endureth[G5297] griefs[G3077], suffering[G3958] wrongfully[G95].
20. For[G1063] what[G4169] glory[G2811] is it[G1487], if, when[G2532] ye sin[G264], and are buffeted[G2852] for it[G5278], ye shall take it patiently? but[G235] if[G1487], when ye do well[G15], and[G2532] suffer[G3958] for it[G5278], ye shall take it patiently, this[G5124] is acceptable[G5485] with[G3844] God[G2316].
21. For[G1063, 1519] hereunto[G5124] were ye called[G2564]: because[G3754] Christ[G5547] also[G2532] suffered[G3958] for[G5228] you[G2257], leaving[G5277] you[G2254] an example[G5261], that[G2443] ye should follow[G1872] his[G846] steps[G2487]:
22. who[G3739] did[G4160] no[G3756] sin[G266], neither[G3761] was[G2147] guile[G1388] found[G2147] in[G1722] his[G846] mouth[G4750]:
23. who[G3739], when he was reviled[G3058], reviled[G486] not[G3756] again[G486]; when he suffered[G3958] threatened[G546] not[G3756]; but[G1161] committed[G3860] himself to him that judgeth[G2919] righteously[G1346]:
24. who[G3739] his own[G846] self[G846] bare[G399] our[G2257] sins[G266] in[G1722] his body[G4983] upon[G1909] the tree[G3586], that[G2443] we[G2198], having died[G581] unto sins[G266], might live[G2198] unto righteousness[G1343]; by[G3739] whose[G846] stripes[G3468] ye were healed[G2390].
25. For[G1063] ye were[G2258] going astray[G4105] like[G5613] sheep[G4263]; but[G235] are[G1994] now[G3568] returned[G1994] unto[G1909] the Shepherd[G4166] and[G2532] Bishop[G1985] of your[G5216] souls[G5590].
