\subsection{I Peter 2}
|
|
\VS{1} Therefore having put aside every evil, and every deceit, and
|
|
hypocrisies and envies and all evil-speakings,
|
|
\VS{2} as newborn babes, long
|
|
for the rational undeceitful milk, in order that you increase in it towards
|
|
salvation,
|
|
\VS{3} if you have tasted that the Lord [is] kind;
|
|
\VS{4} towards whom coming, [towards the] zoe-living\fnZoe{} stone, by men rejected,
|
|
but chosen by God [and] precious [to him],
|
|
\VS{5} you yourselves as zoe-living\fnZoe{} stones are also built as [a] spiritual house
|
|
for [a] holy priesthood, to bring spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God
|
|
through Jesus Christ;
|
|
\VS{6} because it is contained in the Scripture:
|
|
|
|
\begin{verse}
|
|
Behold I place in Zion [a] chief cornerstone, chosen, \\
|
|
And the [one] believing upon it will \negd{not} be shamed.
|
|
\end{verse}
|
|
|
|
\VS{7} To you therefore [is] the honor [which is] to [those] believing, but to [those] disbelieving:
|
|
|
|
\begin{verse}
|
|
[the] stone which the builders rejected, \\
|
|
This became [the] head of the corner,
|
|
\end{verse}
|
|
|
|
\VS{8} and [a] stone of offense and [a] rock of stumbling, who stumble by the
|
|
word, being disobedient, to which they were also appointed.
|
|
\VS{9} But you
|
|
[are a] chosen generation, [a] king's priesthood, [an] holy nation, [a] people for [his]
|
|
possession, so that you proclaim the excellencies of the [one] having called you
|
|
from the darkness into his marvelous light,
|
|
\VS{10} who [were] once not [a] people,
|
|
but [are] now [the] people of God, who [were] not shown mercy, but now [are] shown mercy.
|
|
|
|
\VS{11} Agape-beloved, I call upon you as strangers and sojourners to be
|
|
abstaining from fleshly lusts, which war against the psyche-life\fnPsyche{},
|
|
\VS{12} having
|
|
your way of life good among the nations, in order that in what they speak
|
|
against you as evil-doers, [that] observing by your good-works they may glorify
|
|
God in [the] day of visitation.
|
|
\VS{13} Submit [yourselves] to every human creation because
|
|
of the Lord, whether [the] king as being above,
|
|
\VS{14} whether governors as to
|
|
those sent by him for vengeance of evil-doers, and praise of well-doers;
|
|
\VS{15} because thus is the will of God, by well-doing silencing the
|
|
ignorance of foolish men,
|
|
\VS{16} as free, and not as having [your] freedom [for a] cover
|
|
of evil, but as slaves of God.
|
|
\VS{17} Honor all men, be agape-loving the
|
|
brotherhood, be fearing God, be honoring the king.
|
|
\VS{18} O house-domestics\footnote{OIKETHS: the root in this word is ``house'; neither the root for ``servant' nor ``slave' is present in this word. The intent is a 'house-domestic', as in ``house-servant' or ``house-slave'}, [be] submitting [yourselves] in all fear to your master\fnDespotes(), not only to the good and fair but also to the perverse.
|
|
\VS{19} For this [is] grace, if because
|
|
of conscience [toward] God he endures some pain, suffering unjustly.
|
|
\VS{20} For
|
|
what sort of credit [Is it] if sinning and being beaten [for it] you endure? But if doing
|
|
good and suffering [for it] you endure, this [is] grace with God.
|
|
\VS{21} For to this
|
|
were you called, for Christ also suffered in your behalf, leaving us [an]
|
|
example in order that you follow in his path\footnote{or ``foot steps''},
|
|
\VS{22} who did no sin nor was deceit found in his mouth,
|
|
\VS{23} who being
|
|
reviled did not revile in return, suffering he did not threaten, but was
|
|
delivering [himself] up to the [one] judging justly;
|
|
\VS{24} who himself bore our sins in
|
|
his body upon the tree, in order that dying to sins we zoe-live\fnZoe{} to justice, by
|
|
whose wounds we are healed.
|
|
\VS{25} For you were s sheep being led astray,
|
|
but now you have been turned back to the shepherd and overseer [of your] psyche-lives\fnPsyche{}.
