So then, laying aside all malignity—even all deceit and play-actings and envies, yes all malicious speaking—

you also, as living stones, are being built into a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

That is why the Scripture contains: “Attention, I am laying in Zion a chief cornerstone, chosen, precious, and the one who rests his trust upon Him will absolutely not be humiliated.”

So then, this recompense is for you who believe, but to those who disobey, “the stone that the builders rejected is just the one that became the chief cornerstone,”

But you are a chosen family, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a private-property people, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;

Dear ones, I urge you to abstain from the lusts of the flesh, that war against the soul,

keeping your way of life among the nations praiseworthy (you being foreigners and sojourners), so that wherein they speak against you as evildoers, in spite of the praiseworthy deeds they have observed, they may glorify God in the day of visitation.

Therefore subordinate yourselves to every human institution because of the Lord, whether to a king, as being in authority,

or to governors, as being sent by him, both for punishment of evildoers and for praise of good-doers.

Because such is the will of God, to silence the ignorance of foolish people by doing good:

17 ᏕᏥᎸᏉᏕᏍᏗ ᎾᏂᎥᎢ; ᏕᏥᎨᏳᏎᏍᏗ ᎠᎾᎵᏅᏢᎢ; ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎡᏥᎾᏰᏍᎨᏍᏗ; ᎤᎬᏫᏳᎯ ᎡᏥᎸᏉᏆᏍᏗ.
Respect everyone; love the brotherhood; fear God; honor the king.

Servants, be submissive to your masters with all respect, not only to the good and gentle but also to the unscrupulous.

For this is commendable, if because of conscience toward God someone endures grief, suffering unjustly.

For what credit is it if upon sinning and being beaten you endure patiently? But if upon doing good and suffering you endure patiently, this is commendable before God.

Now you have been called to this, really, because Christ also suffered in our behalf, leaving you an example that you should follow in His footsteps:

who being reviled did not revile in return, suffering did not threaten but committed it to Him who judges righteously;
