CHAP. II.
1 He dehorteth them from the breach of charity;
4 showing that Christ is the foundation on
which they are built. 11 He beseecheth them
also to abstain from fleshly lusts, 13 to be
obedient to magistrates; 18 and teacheth
servants how to obey their masters, 20 patiently
suffering for well-doing, after the example
of Christ.
1 Wherefore, laying aside all
malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies,
and envies, and all evil-speakings,
2 As new-born babes, desire the note pure
milk of the word, that ye may grow
thereby:
3 noteIf indeed ye have tasted that the
Lord is gracious.
4 To whom coming as to a living
stone, disallowed indeed by men, but
chosen by God, and precious,
-- --
A. D. 60.
5 Ye also, as living stones, note are built
up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood,
to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable
to God by Jesus Christ.
6 Wherefore also it is contained in
the scripture, note Behold, I lay in Sion a
chief corner-stone, elect, precious: and
he that believeth on him shall not be confounded.
7 To you therefore who believe he is
note precious: but to them who are disobedient,
note the stone which the builders disallowed,
the same is made the head of
the corner,
8 noteAnd a stone of stumbling, and a
rock of offense, even to them who stumble
at the word, being disobedient: to which
also they were appointed.
9 But ye are a chosen generation, note a
royal priesthood, a holy nation, note a peculiar
people; that ye should show forth the
note praises of him who hath called you out
of darkness into his marvelous light:
10 Who in time past were not a people,
but are now the people of God: who
had not obtained mercy, but now have
obtained mercy.
11 Dearly beloved, I beseech you as
strangers and pilgrims, note abstain from
fleshly lusts, which war against the soul; note
12 noteHaving your manner of life honest
among the Gentiles: that, note whereas
they speak against you as evil-doers, note
they may by your good works, which they
shall behold, glorify God in the day of
visitation.
13 noteSubmit yourselves to every ordinance
of man for the Lord's sake:
whether to the king, as supreme;
14 Or to governors, as to them that are
sent by him for the punishment of evil-doers,
and for the praise of them that do
well.
15 For so is the will of God, that with
well-doing ye may put to silence the ignorance
of foolish men:
16 As free, and not note using your liberty
for a cloke of maliciousness, but as the
servants of God.
17 noteHonor all men. Love the brotherhood.
Fear God. Honor the king.
18 noteServants, be subject to your masters
with all fear; not only to the good
and gentle, but also to the froward.
19 For this is note thank-worthy, if a
man for conscience towards God endureth
grief, suffering wrongfully.
20 For what glory is it, if, when ye
are buffeted for your faults, ye bear it patiently?
but if, when ye do well, and suffer
for it, ye bear it patiently, this is note
acceptable with God.
21 For even to this were ye called:
because Christ also suffered note for us,
leaving us an example, that ye should
follow his steps:
22 noteWho committed no sin, neither
was guile found in his mouth:
23 Who, when he was reviled, reviled
not again; when he suffered, he threatened
not; but note committed himself to
him that judgeth righteously:
24 noteWho himself bore our sins in
his own body on the tree, that we, being
dead to sins, should live to righteousness;
by whose stripes ye were healed.
25 For ye were as sheep going astray;
but are now returned to the Shepherd
and Bishop of your souls.
