    1 Peter 2
    • 1   Wherefore laying away all malice and all guile and dissimulations and envies and all detractions,
    • 2   As newborn babes, desire the rational milk without guile, that thereby you may grow unto salvation:
    • 3   If so be you have tasted that the Lord is sweet.
    • 4   Unto whom coming, as to a living stone, rejected indeed by men but chosen and made honourable by God:
    • 5   Be you also as living stones built up, a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.
    • 6   Wherefore it is said in the scripture: Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious. And he that shall believe in him shall not be confounded.
    • 7   To you therefore that believe, he is honour: but to them that believe not, the stone which the builders rejected, the same is made the head of the corner:
    • 8   And a stone of stumbling and a rock of scandal, to them who stumble at the word, neither do believe, whereunto also they are set.
    • 9   But you are a chosen generation, a kingly priesthood, a holy nation, a purchased people: that you may declare his virtues, who hath called you out of darkness into his marvelous light:
    • 10   Who in times past were not a people: but are now the people of God. Who had not obtained mercy: but now have obtained mercy.
    • 11   Dearly beloved, I beseech you, as strangers and pilgrims, to refrain yourselves from carnal desires which war against the soul,
    • 12   Having your conversation good among the Gentiles: that whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may, by the good works which they shall behold in you, glorify God in the day of visitation.
    • 13   Be ye subject therefore to every human creature for God's sake: whether it be to the king as excelling,
    • 14   Or to governors as sent by him for the punishment of evildoers and for the praise of the good.
    • 15   For so is the will of God, that by doing well you may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:
    • 16   As free and not as making liberty a cloak for malice, but as the servants of God.
    • 17   Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king.
    • 18   Servants, be subject to your masters with all fear, not only to the good and gentle but also to the froward.
    • 19   For this is thankworthy: if, for conscience towards God, a man endure sorrows, suffering wrongfully.
    • 20   For what glory is it, if, committing sin and being buffeted for it, you endure? But if doing well you suffer patiently: this is thankworthy before God.
    • 21   For unto this are you called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving you an example that you should follow his steps.
    • 22   Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth.
    • 23   Who, when he was reviled, did not revile: when he suffered, he threatened not, but delivered himself to him that judged him unjustly.
    • 24   Who his own self bore our sins in his body upon the tree: that we, being dead to sins, should live to justice: by whose stripes you were healed.
    • 25   For you were as sheep going astray: but you are now converted to the shepherd and bishop of your souls.
