King James Bible
So get rid of all evil behavior. Be done with all deceit, hypocrisy, jealousy, and all unkind speech.
The Lord is Good
Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings,
Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings,
Like newborn babies, you must crave pure spiritual milk so that you will grow into a full experience of salvation. Cry out for this nourishment,
As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:
now that you have had a taste of the Lord’s kindness.
If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious.
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.
The Living Stone
To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious,
To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious,
Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.
Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded.
Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner,
And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.
But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:
Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.
Dear friends, I warn you as “temporary residents and foreigners” to keep away from worldly desires that wage war against your very souls.
Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;
Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation.
Respecting People in Authority
For the Lord’s sake, submit to all human authority — whether the king as head of state,
Submission to Authorities
Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme;
Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme;
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.
Or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well.
It is God’s will that your honorable lives should silence those ignorant people who make foolish accusations against you.
For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:
For you are free, yet you are God’s slaves, so don’t use your freedom as an excuse to do evil.
As free, and not using your liberty for a cloke of maliciousness, but as the servants of God.
Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king.
Servants, be subject to your masters with all fear; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the froward.
For God is pleased when, conscious of his will, you patiently endure unjust treatment.
For this is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully.
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.
For what glory is it, if, when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye take it patiently, this is acceptable with God.
Christ's Example of Suffering
For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:
For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:
Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:
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, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously:
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
so that we can be dead to sin
and live for what is right.
By his wounds
you are healed.
Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.
