1 Peter 2
1 Putting away therefore all wickedness, all deceit, hypocrisies, envies, and all evil speaking,
ⲁ̅ⲉⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲕⲱ ϭⲉ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲛ̅ⲕⲁⲕⲓⲁ ⲛⲓⲙ ϩⲓⲕⲣⲟϥ ⲛⲓⲙ ϩⲓϩⲩⲡⲟⲕⲣⲓⲥⲓⲥ ⲛⲓⲙ. ⲙⲛ̅ⲗⲁ ⲛⲓⲙ. ⲙⲛ̅ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲗⲁⲗⲓⲁ ⲛⲓⲙ.
2 as newborn babies, long for the pure spiritual milk, that with it you may grow,
ⲃ̅ⲛ̅ⲑⲉ ⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛϣⲏⲣⲉ ϣⲏⲙ ⲉⲁⲩϫⲡⲟⲟⲩ ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲙⲉⲣⲉⲡⲉⲣⲱⲧⲉ ⲛ̅ⲗⲟⲅⲓⲕⲟⲛ ⲉⲧⲉⲙⲛ̅ⲕⲣⲟϥ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧϥ̅. ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲉⲁⲓⲁⲓ ϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧϥ̅ ⲉⲩⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅.

4 Come to him, a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God, precious.

5 You also as living stones are built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
ⲉ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲱⲧⲛ̅ ϩⲱⲧⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅ ⲕⲱⲧ ⲙ̅ⲙⲱⲧⲛ̅ ϩⲱⲥ ⲱⲛⲉ ⲉϥⲟⲛϩ̅ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲏⲓ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲉⲩⲙⲁⲧⲓⲕⲟⲛ ⲉⲩϣⲙ̅ϣⲉ ⲉϥⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ. ⲉⲧⲁⲗⲟ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛⲑⲩⲥⲓⲁ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲉⲩⲙⲁⲧⲓⲕⲟⲛ ⲉⲩϣⲏⲡ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϩⲓⲧⲛ̅ⲓⲥ̅ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ̅.
6 Because it is contained in Scripture, “Behold, I lay in Zion a chief cornerstone, chosen and precious. He who believes in him will not be disappointed.”
ⲋ̅ϫⲉ ϥⲥⲏϩ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲅⲣⲁⲫⲏ. ϫⲉ ⲉⲓⲥϩⲏⲏⲧⲉ ϯⲛⲁⲕⲱ ϩⲛ̅ⲥⲓⲱⲛ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱⲛⲉ ⲛ̅ⲕⲟⲟϩ ⲛ̅ⲥⲱⲧⲡ̅ ⲉϥⲧⲁⲓⲏⲩ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲉⲧⲛⲁⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲛ̅ϥⲛⲁϫⲓϣⲓⲡⲉ ⲁⲛ.
7 For you who believe therefore is the honor, but for those who are disobedient, “The stone which the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone,”
ⲍ̅ⲉⲣⲉⲡⲧⲁⲓⲟ ϭⲉ ϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲛⲉⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ. ⲛⲉⲧⲟ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ⲁⲧⲛⲁϩⲧⲉ ⲉⲡⲱⲛⲉ. ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲩⲧⲥ̅ⲧⲟϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲛⲉⲧⲕⲱⲧ. ⲡⲁⲓ ⲁϥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉⲩⲁⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ⲕⲟⲟϩ.
8 and, “a stumbling stone and a rock of offense.” For they stumble at the word, being disobedient, to which also they were appointed.

9 But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, that you may proclaim the excellence of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.

10 In the past, you were not a people, but now are God’s people, who had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.

11 Beloved, I beg you as foreigners and pilgrims to abstain from fleshly lusts which war against the soul,

12 having good behavior among the nations, so in that of which they speak against you as evildoers, they may see your good works and glorify God in the day of visitation.

13 Therefore subject yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake: whether to the king, as supreme,

14 or to governors, as sent by him for vengeance on evildoers and for praise to those who do well.

15 For this is the will of God, that by well-doing you should put to silence the ignorance of foolish men.

16 Live as free people, yet not using your freedom for a cloak of wickedness, but as bondservants of God.

18 Servants, be in subjection to your masters with all respect, not only to the good and gentle, but also to the wicked.

19 For it is commendable if someone endures pain, suffering unjustly, because of conscience toward God.

20 For what glory is it if, when you sin, you patiently endure beating? But if when you do well, you patiently endure suffering, this is commendable with God.

21 For you were called to this, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving you an example, that you should follow his steps,

23 When he was cursed, he didn’t curse back. When he suffered, he didn’t threaten, but committed himself to him who judges righteously.

24 He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live to righteousness. You were healed by his wounds.
