1 Peter 2 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

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

“BEHOLD ^G2400, I AM LAYING ^G5087 IN ZION ^G4622 A CHOICE ^G1588 STONE ^G3037, A PRECIOUS ^G1784 CORNERSTONE ^G204,

AND THE ONE WHO BELIEVES ^G4100 IN [fn]HIM WILL NOT BE [fn]PUT ^G2617 TO ^G2617 SHAME ^G2617.”

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

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

THIS ^G3778 BECAME ^G1096 THE [fn]CHIEF ^G2776 CORNERSTONE ^G1137,”

and,

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

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

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

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

Submit ^G5293 yourselves for the Lord’s ^G2962 sake ^G1223 to every ^G3956 human ^G442 institution ^G2937, whether ^G1535 to a king ^G935 as the one in authority ^G5242,

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