Youngs Literal Translation |   | |
 |
| |
| | 1Pe 2:1 | Having put aside, then, all evil, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envyings, and all evil speakings,
| |
| | 1Pe 2:2 | as new-born babes the word's pure milk desire ye, that in it ye may grow,
| |
| | 1Pe 2:3 | if so be ye did taste that the Lord `is' gracious,
| |
| | 1Pe 2:4 | to whom coming -- a living stone -- by men, indeed, having been disapproved of, but with God choice, precious,
| |
| | 1Pe 2:5 | 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.
| |
| | 1Pe 2:6 | 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;'
| |
| | 1Pe 2:7 | 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,
| |
| | 1Pe 2:8 | and a stone of stumbling and a rock of offence -- who are stumbling at the word, being unbelieving, -- to which also they were set;
| |
| | 1Pe 2:9 | 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;
| |
| | 1Pe 2:10 | who `were' once not a people, and `are' now the people of God; who had not found kindness, and now have found kindness.
| |
| | 1Pe 2:11 | Beloved, I call upon `you', as strangers and sojourners, to keep from the fleshly desires, that war against the soul,
| |
| | 1Pe 2:12 | 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.
| |
| | 1Pe 2:13 | Be subject, then, to every human creation, because of the Lord, whether to a king, as the highest,
| |
| | 1Pe 2:14 | whether to governors, as to those sent through him, for punishment, indeed, of evil-doers, and a praise of those doing good;
| |
| | 1Pe 2:15 | because, so is the will of God, doing good, to put to silence the ignorance of the foolish men;
| |
| | 1Pe 2:16 | as free, and not having the freedom as the cloak of the evil, but as servants of God;
| |
| | 1Pe 2:17 | to all give ye honour; the brotherhood love ye; God fear ye; the king honour ye.
| |
| | 1Pe 2:18 | The domestics! be subjecting yourselves in all fear to the masters, not only to the good and gentle, but also to the cross;
| |
| | 1Pe 2:19 | for this `is' gracious, if because of conscience toward God any one doth endure sorrows, suffering unrighteously;
| |
| | 1Pe 2:20 | 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,
| |
| | 1Pe 2:21 | for to this ye were called, because Christ also did suffer for you, leaving to you an example, that ye may follow his steps,
| |
| | 1Pe 2:22 | who did not commit sin, nor was guile found in his mouth,
| |
| | 1Pe 2:23 | who being reviled -- was not reviling again, suffering -- was not threatening, and was committing himself to Him who is judging righteously,
| |
| | 1Pe 2:24 | 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,
| |
| | 1Pe 2:25 | for ye were as sheep going astray, but ye turned back now to the shepherd and overseer of your souls.
