- 1
- Therefore, rid yourselves of all malice and all deceit,
- hypocrisy, envy, and slander of every kind.
- 2
- Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk,
- so that by it you may grow up in your salvation,
- 3
- now that you have tasted that the Lord is good.
- 4
- As you come to him, the living Stone--
- rejected by men but chosen by God and precious to him--
- 5
- you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house
- to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices
- acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
- 6
- For in Scripture it says: "See, I lay a stone in Zion,
- a chosen and precious cornerstone, and the one
- who trusts in him will never be put to shame."
- 7
- Now to you who believe, this stone is precious.
- But to those who do not believe,
- "The stone the builders rejected has become the capstone,"
- 8
- and, "A stone that causes men to stumble and a rock that makes them fall."
- They stumble because they disobey the message--
- which is also what they were destined for.
- 9
- But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation,
- a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him
- who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.
- 10
- Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God;
- once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.
- 11
- Dear friends, I urge you, as aliens and strangers in the world,
- to abstain from sinful desires, which war against your soul.
- 12
- Live such good lives among the pagans that,
- though they accuse you of doing wrong,
- they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day he visits us.
- 13
- Submit yourselves for the Lord's sake to every authority instituted among men:
- whether to the king, as the supreme authority,
- 14
- or to governors, who are sent by him to punish those who do wrong
- and to commend those who do right.
- 15
- For it is God's will that by doing good
- you should silence the ignorant talk of foolish men.
- 16
- Live as free men, but do not use your freedom as a cover-up for evil;
- live as servants of God.
- 17
- Show proper respect to everyone:
- Love the brotherhood of believers, fear God, honor the king.
- 18
- Slaves, submit yourselves to your masters with all respect,
- not only to those who are good and considerate, but also to those who are harsh.
- 19
- For it is commendable if a man bears up
- under the pain of unjust suffering because he is conscious of God.
- 20
- But how is it to your credit if you receive a beating for doing wrong and endure it?
- But if you suffer for doing good and you endure it, this is commendable before God.
- 21
- To this you were called, because Christ suffered for you,
- leaving you an example, that you should follow in his steps.
- 22
- "He committed no sin, and no deceit was found in his mouth."
- 23
- When they hurled their insults at him, he did not retaliate;
- when he suffered, he made no threats.
- Instead, he entrusted himself to him who judges justly.
- 24
- He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree,
- so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness;
- by his wounds you have been healed.
- 25
- For you were like sheep going astray,
- but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.
