1. Having put aside, then, all evil, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envyings, and all evil speakings,
|
1. Wherefore G3767 laying aside G659 all G3956 malice G2549 , and G2532 all G3956 guile G1388 , and G2532 hypocrisies G5272 , and G2532 envies G5355 , and G2532 all G3956 evil speakings G2636 ,
|
|
2. as new-born babes the word`s pure milk desire ye, that in it ye may grow,
|
2. As G5613 newborn G738 babes G1025 , desire G1971 the G3588 sincere G97 milk G1051 of the word G3050 , that G2443 ye may grow G837 thereby G1722 G846 :
|
|
3. if so be ye did taste that the Lord is gracious,
|
3. If so be G1512 ye have tasted G1089 that G3754 the G3588 Lord G2962 is gracious G5543 .
|
|
4. to whom coming -- a living stone -- by men, indeed, having been disapproved of, but with God choice, precious,
|
4. To G4314 whom G3739 coming G4334 , as unto a living G2198 stone G3037 , disallowed G593 indeed G3303 of G5259 men G444 , but G1161 chosen G1588 of G3844 God G2316 , and precious G1784 ,
|
|
5. and ye yourselves, as living stones, are built up, a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
|
5. Ye G846 also G2532 , as G5613 lively G2198 stones G3037 , are built up G3618 a spiritual G4152 house G3624 , an holy G40 priesthood G2406 , to offer up G399 spiritual G4152 sacrifices G2378 , acceptable G2144 to God G2316 by G1223 Jesus G2424 Christ G5547 .
|
|
6. Wherefore, also, it is contained in the Writing: `Lo, I lay in Zion a chief corner-stone, choice, precious, and he who is believing on him may not be put to shame;`
|
6. Wherefore G1352 also G2532 it is contained G4023 in G1722 the G3588 scripture G1124 , Behold G2400 , I lay G5087 in G1722 Zion G4622 a chief corner stone G204 G3037 , elect G1588 , precious G1784 : and G2532 he that believeth G4100 on G1909 him G846 shall not G3364 be confounded G2617 .
|
|
7. to you, then, who are believing is the preciousness; and to the unbelieving, a stone that the builders disapproved of, this one did become for the head of a corner,
|
7. Unto you G5213 therefore G3767 which believe G4100 he is precious G5092 : but G1161 unto them which be disobedient G544 , the stone G3037 which G3739 the G3588 builders G3618 disallowed G593 , the same G3778 is made G1096 the G1519 head G2776 of the corner G1137 ,
|
|
8. and a stone of stumbling and a rock of offence -- who are stumbling at the word, being unbelieving, -- to which also they were set;
|
8. And G2532 a stone G3037 of stumbling G4348 , and G2532 a rock G4073 of offense G4625 , even to them which G3739 stumble G4350 at the G3588 word G3056 , being disobedient G544 : whereunto G1519 G3739 also G2532 they were appointed G5087 .
|
|
9. and ye are a choice race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people acquired, that the excellences ye may shew forth of Him who out of darkness did call you to His wondrous light;
|
9. But G1161 ye G5210 are a chosen G1588 generation G1085 , a royal G934 priesthood G2406 , a holy G40 nation G1484 , a peculiar G1519 G4047 people G2992 ; that G3704 ye should show forth G1804 the G3588 praises G703 of him G3588 who hath called G2564 you G5209 out of G1537 darkness G4655 into G1519 his G846 marvelous G2298 light G5457 :
|
|
10. who were once not a people, and are now the people of God; who had not found kindness, and now have found kindness.
|
10. Which G3588 in time past G4218 were not G3756 a people G2992 , but G1161 are now G3568 the people G2992 of God G2316 : which had not obtained mercy G1653 G3756 , but G1161 now G3568 have obtained mercy G1653 .
|
|
11. Beloved, I call upon you, as strangers and sojourners, to keep from the fleshly desires, that war against the soul,
|
11. Dearly beloved G27 , I beseech G3870 you as G5613 strangers G3941 and G2532 pilgrims G3927 , abstain G567 from fleshly G4559 lusts G1939 , which G3748 war G4754 against G2596 the G3588 soul G5590 ;
|
|
12. having your behaviour among the nations right, that in that which they speak against you as evil-doers, of the good works having beheld, they may glorify God in a day of inspection.
|
12. Having G2192 your G5216 conversation G391 honest G2570 among G1722 the G3588 Gentiles G1484 : that G2443 , whereas G1722 G3739 they speak against G2635 you G5216 as G5613 evildoers G2555 , they may by G1537 your good G2570 works G2041 , which they shall behold G2029 , glorify G1392 God G2316 in G1722 the day G2250 of visitation G1984 .
|
|
13. Be subject, then, to every human creation, because of the Lord, whether to a king, as the highest,
|
13. Submit yourselves G5293 to G3767 every G3956 ordinance G2937 of man G442 for the Lord's sake G1223 G3588 G2962 : whether G1535 it be to the king G935 , as G5613 supreme G5242 ;
|
|
14. whether to governors, as to those sent through him, for punishment, indeed, of evil-doers, and a praise of those doing good;
|
14. Or G1535 unto governors G2232 , as G5613 unto them that are sent G3992 by G1223 him G846 for G1519 the punishment G1557 of G3303 evildoers G2555 , and G1161 for the praise G1868 of them that do well G17 .
|
|
15. because, so is the will of God, doing good, to put to silence the ignorance of the foolish men;
|
15. For G3754 so G3779 is G2076 the G3588 will G2307 of God G2316 , that with well doing G15 ye may put to silence G5392 the G3588 ignorance G56 of foolish G878 men G444 :
|
|
16. as free, and not having the freedom as the cloak of the evil, but as servants of God;
|
16. As G5613 free G1658 , and G2532 not G3361 using G2192 your liberty G1657 for G5613 a cloak G1942 of maliciousness G2549 , but G235 as G5613 the servants G1401 of God G2316 .
|
|
17. to all give ye honour; the brotherhood love ye; God fear ye; the king honour ye.
|
17. Honor G5091 all G3956 men. Love G25 the G3588 brotherhood G81 . Fear G5399 God G2316 . Honor G5091 the G3588 king G935 .
|
|
18. The domestics! be subjecting yourselves in all fear to the masters, not only to the good and gentle, but also to the cross;
|
18. Servants G3610 , be subject to G5293 your masters G1203 with G1722 all G3956 fear G5401 ; not G3756 only G3440 to the G3588 good G18 and G2532 gentle G1933 , but G235 also G2532 to the G3588 froward G4646 .
|
|
19. for this is gracious, if because of conscience toward God any one doth endure sorrows, suffering unrighteously;
|
19. For G1063 this G5124 is thankworthy G5485 , if G1487 a man G5100 for G1223 conscience G4893 toward God G2316 endure G5297 grief G3077 , suffering G3958 wrongfully G95 .
|
|
20. for what renown is it, if sinning and being buffeted, ye do endure it? but if, doing good and suffering for it, ye do endure, this is gracious with God,
|
20. For G1063 what G4169 glory G2811 is it, if G1487 , when ye be buffeted G2852 G2532 for your faults G264 , ye shall take it patiently G5278 ? but G235 if G1487 , when ye do well G15 , and G2532 suffer G3958 for it, ye take it patiently G5278 , this G5124 is acceptable G5485 with G3844 God G2316 .
|
|
21. for to this ye were called, because Christ also did suffer for you, leaving to you an example, that ye may follow his steps,
|
21. For G1063 even hereunto G1519 G5124 were ye called G2564 : because G3754 Christ G5547 also G2532 suffered G3958 for G5228 us G2257 , leaving G5277 us G2254 an example G5261 , that G2443 ye should follow G1872 his G846 steps G2487 :
|
|
22. who did not commit sin, nor was guile found in his mouth,
|
22. Who G3739 did G4160 no G3756 sin G266 , neither G3761 was guile G1388 found G2147 in G1722 his G846 mouth G4750 :
|
|
23. who being reviled -- was not reviling again, suffering -- was not threatening, and was committing himself to Him who is judging righteously,
|
23. Who G3739 , when he was reviled G3058 , reviled not again G486 G3756 ; when he suffered G3958 , he threatened G546 not G3756 ; but G1161 committed G3860 himself to him that judgeth G2919 righteously G1346 :
|
|
24. who our sins himself did bear in his body, upon the tree, that to the sins having died, to the righteousness we may live; by whose stripes ye were healed,
|
24. Who G3739 his own self G848 bare G399 our G2257 sins G266 in G1722 his own G848 body G4983 on G1909 the G3588 tree G3586 , that G2443 we , being dead G581 to sins G266 , should live G2198 unto righteousness G1343 : by whose G3739 stripes G3468 ye were healed G2390 .
|
|
25. for ye were as sheep going astray, but ye turned back now to the shepherd and overseer of your souls.
|
25. For G1063 ye were G2258 as G5613 sheep G4263 going astray G4105 ; but G235 are now G3568 returned G1994 unto G1909 the G3588 Shepherd G4166 and G2532 Bishop G1985 of your G5216 souls G5590 .
