1 Peter 2

1 Why laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, all evil speakings,

Having put aside therefore all malice and all deceit and (hypocrisies *NK+O) and envies and all evil speakings

2 As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that you may grow thereby:

like newborn babies reasonable pure milk do crave so that by it you may grow up (in respect to salvation, *NO)

3 If so be you have tasted that the Lord is gracious.

(if *N+kO) you have tasted that [is] good the Lord.

4 To whom coming, as to a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious,

To whom coming a stone living, by men indeed rejected in the sight of however God chosen [and] precious,

5 You also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.

also you yourselves as stones living are being built up as a house spiritual (into *no) a priesthood holy to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

6 Why also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believes on him shall not be confounded.

(Therefore *N+kO) it is contained in 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 which believe he is precious: but to them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner,

To you therefore [is] the preciousness of those believing; ([for those] disbelieving *N+KO) however ([the] stone *N+kO) which rejected those building, this has become into [the] head of [the] corner

8 And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offense, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: to which also they were appointed.

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 But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that you should show forth the praises of him who has called you out of darkness into his marvelous light;

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 Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.

who once [were] not a people, now however [the] people of God, those [who] not received mercy, now however having received mercy.

11 Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;

Beloved, I exhort [you] as aliens and sojourners to abstain from fleshly desires, which war against the soul;

12 Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation.

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+kO) they may glorify God in [the] day of visitation.

13 Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme;

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 to them that are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well.

or to governors as through him being sent for vengeance (indeed *k) to evildoers, praise however to well-doers;

15 For so is the will of God, that with well doing you may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:

because this is the will of God doing good to put to silence the of foolish men ignorance;

16 As free, and not using your liberty for a cloak of maliciousness, but as the servants of God.

as free and not as a cover-up having for evil the freedom, but as of God servants.

17 Honor all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the king.

Everyone do honor, The brotherhood (do love, *NK+o) God do fear, the king do honor.

18 Servants, be subject to your masters with all fear; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the fraudulent.

you who [are] Servants be subject with all fear to masters, not only to the good and gentle, but also to the unreasonable.

19 For this is thank worthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully.

This for [is] acceptable, if for sake of conscience toward God endures anyone griefs suffering unjustly.

20 For what glory is it, if, when you be buffeted for your faults, you shall take it patiently? but if, when you do well, and suffer for it, you take it patiently, this is acceptable with God.

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 For even hereunto were you called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that you should follow his steps:

To this hereunto for you have been called, because also Christ suffered for (for you, *N+KO) you leaving an example that you may follow after the steps of Him:

22 Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:

Who sin not committed, neither was found trickery in the mouth of Him,

23 Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judges righteously:

Who being reviled not was not reviling back suffering not was threatening He was delivering [Himself] however to the [One] judging justly;

24 Who his own self bore our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live to righteousness: by whose stripes you were healed.

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 For you were as sheep going astray; but are now returned to the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.

You were for like sheep (going astray *N+kO) but you have returned now to the Shepherd and Overseer of the souls of you.
