MFT PE1 2:1 So off with all malice, all guile and insincerity and envy and slander of every kind!
MFT PE1 2:2 Like newly-born children, thirst for the pure, spiritual milk to make you grow up to salvation.
MFT PE1 2:3 You have had a taste of the kindness of the Lord:
MFT PE1 2:4 come to him then — come to that living Stone which men have rejected and God holds choice and precious,
MFT PE1 2:5 come and, like living stones yourselves, be built into a spiritual house, to form a consecrated priesthood for the offering of those spiritual sacrifices that are acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
MFT PE1 2:6 For thus it stands in the scripture: Here I lay a Stone in Sion, a choice, a precious cornerstone: he who believes in him will never be disappointed.
MFT PE1 2:7 Now you believe, you hold him 'precious,' but as for the unbelieving — the very stone the builders rejected is now the cornerstone,
MFT PE1 2:8 a stone over which men stumble and a rock of offence; they stumble over it in their disobedience to God's word. Such is their appointed doom.
MFT PE1 2:9 But you are the elect race, the royal priesthood, the consecrated nation, the People who belong to Him, that you may proclaim the wondrous deeds of Him who has called you from darkness to his wonderful light —
MFT PE1 2:10 you who once were no people and now are God's people, you who once were unpitied and now are pitied.
MFT PE1 2:11 Beloved, as sojourners and exiles I appeal to you to abstain from the passions of the flesh that wage war upon the soul.
MFT PE1 2:12 Conduct yourselves properly before pagans; so that for all their slander of you as bad characters, they may come to glorify God when you are put upon your trial, by what they see of your good deeds.
MFT PE1 2:13 Submit for the Lord's sake to any human authority; submit to the emperor as supreme,
MFT PE1 2:14 and to governors as deputed by him for the punishment of wrongdoers and the encouragement of honest people —
MFT PE1 2:15 for it is the will of God that by your honest lives you should silence the ignorant charges of foolish persons.
MFT PE1 2:16 Live like free men, only do not make your freedom a pretext for misconduct; live like servants of God.
MFT PE1 2:17 Do honour to all, love the brotherhood, reverence God, honour the emperor.
MFT PE1 2:18 Servants, be submissive to your masters with perfect respect, not simply to those who are kind and reasonable but to the surly as well —
MFT PE1 2:19 for it is a merit when from a sense of God one bears the pain of unjust suffering.
MFT PE1 2:20 Where is the credit in standing punishment for having done wrong? No, if you stand suffering for having done right, that is what God counts a merit.
MFT PE1 2:21 It is your vocation; for when Christ suffered for you, he left you an example, and you must follow his footsteps.
MFT PE1 2:22 He committed no sin, no guile was ever found upon his lips;
MFT PE1 2:23 he was reviled and made no retort, he suffered and never threatened, but left everything to Him who judges justly;
MFT PE1 2:24 he bore our sins in his own body on the gibbet, that we might break with sin and live for righteousness; and by his wounds you have been healed.
MFT PE1 2:25 You were astray like sheep, but you have come back now to the Shepherd and Guardian of your souls.
