From Textus Receptus
1Pe 2:1 Wherefore lay asyde all maliciousnesse, and all guile, and faynednesse, and enuie, and all backbityng, 1Pe 2:2 And as newe borne babes, desire ye ye milke of the worde, which is without deceipt: that ye may growe therby [vnto saluatio] 1Pe 2:3 If so be that ye haue tasted howe gratious the Lorde is: 1Pe 2:4 To whom ye come, as vnto a lyuyng stone, disalowed of men, but chosen of God and precious: 1Pe 2:5 And ye as lyuely stones, be you made a spirituall house, an holy priesthood, for to offer vp spirituall sacrifices, acceptable to God by Iesus Christe. 1Pe 2:6 Wherefore it is conteyned also in the scripture: beholde, I put in Sion a stone to be laide in the chiefe corner, elect and precious, and he that beleueth on hym, shall not be confounded. 1Pe 2:7 Unto you therfore which beleue, he is precious: but vnto them whiche beleue not, the stone which the buylders refused, the same is made the head of the corner: 1Pe 2:8 And a stone that men stumble at, and a rocke wherat they be offended, whiche stumble at the worde, and beyng disobedient, vnto the whiche thing they were euen ordeyned. 1Pe 2:9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royall priesthood, an holy nation, a peculier people: that ye should shewe foorth the vertues of hym that called you out of darknesse into his marueylous lyght. 1Pe 2:10 Which in time past were not a people, but are nowe the people of God: which sometime had not obteyned mercy, but nowe haue obteyned mercy. 1Pe 2:11 Dearely beloued, I beseche you as straugers and pilgrimes, abstaine from fleshly lustes, whiche fight agaynst the soule: 1Pe 2:12 And see that ye haue honest conuersation among the gentiles: that where as they backbite you as euyll doers, they may by your good workes whiche they shall see, prayse God in the day of visitation. 1Pe 2:13 Submit your selues therfore vnto al maner ordinaunce of ma for the Lordes sake: whether it be vnto the king, as hauyng the preeminence: 1Pe 2:14 Other vnto rulers, as vnto them that are sent of hym for the punyshment of euyll doers, but for the laude of them that do well. 1Pe 2:15 For so is the wyll of God, that with well doyng, ye may stoppe the mouthes of foolishe and ignoraunt men: 1Pe 2:16 As free, and not as hauyng the libertie for a cloke of maliciousnes, but euen as the seruauntes of God. 1Pe 2:17 Honour all men. Loue brotherly felowship. Feare God. Honour the kyng. 1Pe 2:18 Seruauntes, obey your maisters with all feare, not only yf they be good & curteous, but also though they be frowarde. 1Pe 2:19 For it is thanke worthy, yf a man for coscience toward god, endure griefe, and suffer wrong vndeserued. 1Pe 2:20 For what prayse is it, yf when ye be buffeted for your faultes, ye take it paciently? But yf when ye do well ye suffer wrong, & take it paciently, then is there thanke with God. 1Pe 2:21 For herevnto veryly were ye called, for Christe also suffered for vs, leauyng vs an ensample, that ye should folowe his steppes. 1Pe 2:22 Which did no sinne, neyther was there guyle founde in his mouth. 1Pe 2:23 Whiche when he was reuiled, reuiled not agayne: when he suffred, he threatned not, but committed the vengeaunce to him that iudgeth righteously. 1Pe 2:24 Which his owne selfe bare our sinnes in his body on the tree, that we beyng deliuered from sinne, shoulde liue vnto ryghteousnes: By whose strypes ye were healed. 1Pe 2:25 For ye were as sheepe goyng astray: but are nowe turned vnto the sheephearde and Byshop of your soules.
