1|Pet.|2:1|-||1|Therefore putting away all |2a|malice and all guile and |b|hypocrisies and envyings and all evil speakings,
1|Pet.|2:2|-|As |1|newborn |a|babes, long for the |2|guileless |b|milk |3|of the word in order that by it you may |4c|grow |5|unto |d|salvation,
1|Pet.|2:3|-|If you have |1a|tasted that the Lord is |2|good.
1|Pet.|2:4|-|Coming to Him, a |1|living |a|stone, |b|rejected by men but with God |c|chosen and |2|precious,
1|Pet.|2:5|-|You yourselves also, as |1|living |a|stones, are being |2b|built up as a |3|spiritual |4c|house |5|into a |6|holy |7|priesthood to offer up |8|spiritual sacrifices |d|acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
1|Pet.|2:6|-|For it is contained in Scripture: |a|“Behold, I lay in Zion a |1|cornerstone, |2b|chosen and |3|precious; and he who |c|believes on Him shall by no means be put to shame.”
1|Pet.|2:7|-|To you therefore who believe is the |1|preciousness; but to the unbelieving, |a|“The stone which the |2|builders |b|rejected, this has |3|become the head of the corner,”
1|Pet.|2:8|-|And, |a|“A stone of |1b|stumbling and a rock of |c|offense”; who |d|stumble at |2|the word, being disobedient, to |3|which also they were |e|appointed.
1|Pet.|2:9|-|But you are a |a|chosen |1|race, a |2|royal |b|priesthood, a |3|holy nation, a people acquired for a possession, so that you may |4|tell out the |5c|virtues of Him who has |d|called you out of |6e|darkness into His marvelous |6f|light;
1|Pet.|2:10|-||1|Who once were |a|not a people but now are the people of God; who had not previously been shown mercy but have now been shown mercy.
1|Pet.|2:11|-|Beloved, I entreat you as |a|strangers and |b|sojourners to |c|abstain from |1d|fleshly lusts, which |e|war against the |1f|soul,
1|Pet.|2:12|-|Having your |1a|manner of life |2b|excellent among the Gentiles, so that in the matter concerning which they |c|speak against you as evildoers they may, by your |d|good works, as they see them with their own eyes, |e|glorify God in the day of His |3f|visitation.
1|Pet.|2:13|-||1|Be |a|subject to every human |2|institution |3|for the Lord’s sake, whether to a |b|king as being supreme,
1|Pet.|2:14|-|Or to governors as being sent by him for |a|vengeance on evildoers and praise of those who do |b|good.
1|Pet.|2:15|-|For so is the |a|will of God, that by doing good you would muzzle the |b|ignorance of |1|foolish men;
1|Pet.|2:16|-|As |a|free, and yet |b|not having freedom as a covering for evil, but as |c|slaves of God.
1|Pet.|2:17|-||a|Honor all men. |b|Love the |1|brotherhood. |c|Fear God. Honor the |d|king.
1|Pet.|2:18|-|Household |a|servants, be subject in all |1b|fear to your masters, not only to the good and forbearing but also to the crooked.
1|Pet.|2:19|-|For this is |1|grace, if anyone, |2|because of a |a|consciousness of God, bears sorrows by suffering |3|unjustly.
1|Pet.|2:20|-|For what |1|glory is it if, while sinning and being buffeted, you endure? But if, while doing good and |a|suffering, you endure, this is grace with God.
1|Pet.|2:21|-|For to |1|this you were |a|called, because Christ also |b|suffered on your behalf, leaving you a |2c|model so that you may follow in His steps;
1|Pet.|2:22|-|Who committed no |a|sin, nor was guile found in His |b|mouth;
1|Pet.|2:23|-|Who being reviled did |a|not revile in return; suffering, He did not threaten but kept committing |1|all to Him who |2b|judges righteously;
1|Pet.|2:24|-|Who Himself |1a|bore up our sins in His |b|body on the |2c|tree, in order that we, |3|having |d|died to sins, might |4e|live |5|to righteousness; by whose |6f|bruise you were |7|healed.
1|Pet.|2:25|-|For you were like |a|sheep being led astray, but you have now |1|returned to the |2b|Shepherd and |c|Overseer of your |3d|souls.
