Laying aside therefore all malice and all guile and hypocrisies and envyings and all evil speakings,

as newborn babes desire earnestly the pure mental milk of the word, that by it ye may grow up to salvation,

To whom coming, a living stone, cast away indeed as worthless by men, but with God chosen, precious,
Living Stones for God’s House
You are coming to Christ, who is the living cornerstone of God’s temple. He was rejected by people, but he was chosen by God for great honor.
yourselves also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.
Because it is contained in the scripture: Behold, I lay in Zion a corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believes on him shall not be put to shame.
To you therefore who believe [is] the preciousness; but to the disobedient, the stone which the builders cast away as worthless, this is become head of [the] corner,
and a stone of stumbling and rock of offence; [who] stumble at the word, being disobedient to which also they have been appointed.
But *ye* [are] a chosen race, a kingly priesthood, a holy nation, a people for a possession, that ye might set forth the excellencies of him who has called you out of darkness to his wonderful light;
who once [were] not a people, but now God's people; who were not enjoying mercy, but now have found mercy.
Beloved, I exhort [you], as strangers and sojourners, to abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;
Dear friends, I warn you as “temporary residents and foreigners” to keep away from worldly desires that wage war against your very souls.
having your conversation honest among the Gentiles, that [as to that] in which they speak against you as evildoers, they may through [your] good works, [themselves] witnessing [them], glorify God in [the] day of visitation.
Submission to Authorities
Be in subjection [therefore] to every human institution for the Lord's sake; whether to [the] king as supreme,
Be in subjection [therefore] to every human institution for the Lord's sake; whether to [the] king as supreme,
Respecting People in Authority
For the Lord’s sake, submit to all human authority — whether the king as head of state,
or to rulers as sent by him, for vengeance on evildoers, and praise to them that do well.
or the officials he has appointed. For the king has sent them to punish those who do wrong and to honor those who do right.
Because so is the will of God, that by well-doing ye put to silence the ignorance of senseless men;
It is God’s will that your honorable lives should silence those ignorant people who make foolish accusations against you.
as free, and not as having liberty as a cloak of malice, but as God's bondmen.
For you are free, yet you are God’s slaves, so don’t use your freedom as an excuse to do evil.
Shew honour to all, love the brotherhood, fear God, honour the king.
Servants, [be] subject with all fear to your masters, not only to the good and gentle, but also to the ill-tempered.
For this [is] acceptable, if one, for conscience sake towards God, endure griefs, suffering unjustly.
For God is pleased when, conscious of his will, you patiently endure unjust treatment.
For what glory [is it], if sinning and being buffeted ye shall bear [it]? but if, doing good and suffering, ye shall bear [it], this is acceptable with God.
Of course, you get no credit for being patient if you are beaten for doing wrong. But if you suffer for doing good and endure it patiently, God is pleased with you.
Christ's Example of Suffering
For to this have ye been called; for Christ also has suffered for you, leaving you a model that ye should follow in his steps:
For to this have ye been called; for Christ also has suffered for you, leaving you a model that ye should follow in his steps:
who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth;
who, [when] reviled, reviled not again; [when] suffering, threatened not; but gave [himself] over into the hands of him who judges righteously;
He did not retaliate when he was insulted,
nor threaten revenge when he suffered.
He left his case in the hands of God,
who always judges fairly.
nor threaten revenge when he suffered.
He left his case in the hands of God,
who always judges fairly.
who himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, in order that, being dead to sins, we may live to righteousness: by whose stripes ye have been healed.
He personally carried our sins
in his body on the cross
so that we can be dead to sin
and live for what is right.
By his wounds
you are healed.
in his body on the cross
