1 Peter 2

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

Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, all evil speaking,

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

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

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

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

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

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

5 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.

All of 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.

6 (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.

Wherefore 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.

7 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

Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner,

8 and A stone of stumbling and a rock of offense, [They] stumble at on the word being disobedient, to which also they were appointed;

And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, (logos) being disobedient: unto which also they were appointed.

9 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;

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

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

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.

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

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

12 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.

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.

13 do be subjected (therefore *K) to every human institution for the sake of the Lord; whether to [the] king as being supreme;

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

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

Or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well.

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

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

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

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

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

Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king.

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

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

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

For this deserves giving of thanks, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully.

20 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.

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

21 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:

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

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

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

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

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

24 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.

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

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

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