As Living Stones, God’s Chosen Family

Therefore^G3767, laying^G659 aside^G659 all^G3956 [fn]malice^G2549 and all^G3956 deceit^G1388 and [fn]hypocrisy^G5272 and [fn]envy^G5355 and all^G3956 [fn]slander^G2636,

1Pe 2:2

1Pe 2:2like newborn babies, long for the [fn]pure [fn]milk of the word, so that by it you may grow [fn]in respect to salvation,

1Pe 2:3

1Pe 2:3if you have TASTED [fn]THE KINDNESS OF THE [fn]LORD.

(Psa 118:22; Isa 28:16 )

1Pe 2:4

And coming^G4334 to Him as to a living^G2198 stone^G3037 which has been rejected^G593 by men^G444, but is [fn]choice^G1588 and precious^G1784 in^G3844 the^G3844 sight^G3844 of^G3844 God^G2316,

1Pe 2:5

1Pe 2:5you also, as living stones, [fn]are being built up as a spiritual house for a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

1Pe 2:6

1Pe 2:6For this is contained in [fn]Scripture:

“BEHOLD^G2400, I LAY^G5087 IN ZION^G4622 A CHOICE^G1588 STONE^G3037, A PRECIOUS^G1784 CORNER^G204 stone,

AND HE WHO BELIEVES^G4100 UPON [fn]HIM WILL NOT BE PUT^G2617 TO^G2617 SHAME^G2617.”

1Pe 2:7

This^G3588 precious^G5092 value^G5092, then^G3767, is for you who believe^G4100; but for those^G3588 who disbelieve^G569,

“THE STONE^G3037 WHICH^G3739 THE BUILDERS^G3618 REJECTED^G593,

THIS^G3778 BECAME^G1096 THE CHIEF^G2776 CORNER^G1137 stone,”

1Pe 2:8

and,

“A STONE^G3037 OF STUMBLING^G4348 AND A ROCK^G4073 OF OFFENSE^G4625.”

They stumble^G4350 because they are disobedient^G544 to the word^G3056, and to this^G3739 stumbling they were also^G2532 appointed^G5087.

1Pe 2:9

But you are A CHOSEN^G1588 FAMILY^G1085, A royal^G934 PRIESTHOOD^G2406, A HOLY^G40 NATION^G1484, A PEOPLE^G2992 FOR God’s OWN POSSESSION^G4047, so^G3704 that you may proclaim^G1804 the excellencies^G703 of Him who has called^G2564 you out of darkness^G4655 into His marvelous^G2298 light^G5457;

1Pe 2:10

1Pe 2:10for you once were NOT A PEOPLE, but now you are THE PEOPLE OF GOD; you had NOT RECEIVED MERCY, but now you have RECEIVED MERCY.

1Pe 2:11

Beloved^G27, I urge^G3870 you as sojourners^G3941 and exiles^G3927 to abstain^G568 from fleshly^G4559 lusts^G1939 which^G3748 wage^G4754 war^G4754 against^G2596 the soul^G5590,

1Pe 2:12

1Pe 2:12by keeping your conduct excellent among the Gentiles, so that in the thing which they slander you as evildoers, they may [fn]because of your good works, as they observe them, glorify God in the DAY OF [fn]VISITATION.

Be Subject to Authority

(cf. Rom 13:1–5 )

1Pe 2:13

Be subject^G5293 for the sake^G1223 of the Lord^G2962 to every^G3956 human^G442 institution^G2937, whether^G1535 to a king^G935 as the one in authority^G5242,

1Pe 2:14

1Pe 2:14or to governors as sent [fn]by him for the punishment of evildoers and the praise of those who do good.

1Pe 2:15

1Pe 2:15For [fn]such is the will of God that by doing good you may silence the ignorance of foolish men.

1Pe 2:16

1Pe 2:16Act as free people, and [fn]do not use your freedom as a covering for evil, but use it as slaves of God.

1Pe 2:17

1Pe 2:17Honor all people, love the [fn]brethren, fear God, honor the [fn]king.

(Isa 53:7–9 )

1Pe 2:18

Servants^G3610, be subject^G5293 to your masters^G1203 with all^G3956 fear^G5401, not only^G3440 to those^G3588 who are good^G18 and considerate^G1933, but also^G2532 to those^G3588 who are [fn]crooked^G4646.

1Pe 2:19

1Pe 2:19For this finds [fn]favor, if for the sake of conscience toward God a person bears up under sorrows when suffering unrighteously.

1Pe 2:20

1Pe 2:20For what credit is there if, when you sin and are harshly treated, you endure? But if when you do good and suffer for it, you endure, this finds favor with God.

Christ, Our Example

1Pe 2:21

1Pe 2:21For to this you have been called, since Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example that you should follow in His steps,

1Pe 2:22

1Pe 2:22WHO DID NO SIN, NOR WAS ANY DECEIT FOUND IN HIS MOUTH;

1Pe 2:23

1Pe 2:23who being reviled, was not reviling in return; while suffering, He was uttering no threats, but kept entrusting Himself to Him who judges righteously.

1Pe 2:24

1Pe 2:24Who Himself [fn]bore our sins in His body on the tree, so that having died to [fn]sin, we might live to righteousness; by His [fn]WOUNDS YOU WERE HEALED.

1Pe 2:25
