Therefore oun, having put away apotithēmi all pas malice kakia and kai all pas deceit dolos and kai hypocrisy hypokrisis and kai envy phthonos and kai slander katalalia of every kind pas, like hōs newborn artigennētos babes brephos, crave epipotheō the ho milk gala that is pure adolos and spiritual logikos, so that hina by en it autos you may grow up auxanō to eis salvation sōtēria, since ei you have tasted geuomai that hoti the ho Lord kyrios is good chrēstos.

For dioti it says periechō in en scripture graphē, “ Behold idou, I lay tithēmi in en Zion Siōn a stone lithos, a cornerstone akrogōniaios chosen eklektos and precious entimos, and kai the ho one who believes pisteuō in epi him autos will never ou mē be put to shame kataischunō.” Therefore oun the ho great value timē is to you hymeis who ho believe pisteuō; but de for those who do not believe apisteō, “The stone lithos that hos the ho builders oikodomeō rejected apodokimazō, this very one houtos has become ginomai the cornerstone kephalē gōnia,” and kai, “A stone lithos that makes people stumble proskomma and kai a rock petra that makes them fall skandalon.” They hos stumble proskoptō, as they were destined tithēmi to eis do hos, since they do not obey apeitheō the ho word logos. · kai

11 Dear friends agapētos, I urge parakaleō you as hōs foreigners paroikos and kai exiles parepidēmos to abstain apechō from desires epithumia of the ho flesh sarkikos, which hostis wage war against kata your ho soul psychē, 12 and maintain echō an honorable kalos · ho lifestyle anastrophē among en the ho Gentiles ethnos so that hina, with respect to en the very things about which hos they slander katalaleō you hymeis as hōs evildoers kakopoios, they may , by ek observing epopteuō your ho good kalos works ergon, glorify doxazō · ho God theos on en the day hēmera of visitation episkopē. 13 Submit hypotassō to every pas human anthrōpinos authority ktisis on account of dia the ho Lord kyrios, whether eite to the king basileus as hōs supreme hyperechō, 14 or eite to governors hēgemōn as hōs those sent pempō by dia him autos for eis the punishment ekdikēsis of those who do evil kakopoios and de the praise epainos of those who do good agathopoios. 15 For hoti this houtōs is eimi the ho will thelēma of ho God theos: by doing good agathopoieō to silence phimoō the ho ignorance agnōsia of ho foolish aphrōn men anthrōpos. 16 Live as hōs free people eleutheros, · kai not as hōs those using echō freedom eleutheria as a cover-up epikalymma for ho evil kakia, · ho but alla as hōs servants of God theos. 17 Honor timaō everyone pas; love agapaō the ho brotherhood adelphotēs; reverence phobeomai · ho God theos; honor timaō the ho king basileus.

18 · ho Household servants oiketēs should be subject hypotassō to their ho masters despotēs with en all pas respect phobos, not ou only monon to the ho good agathos and kai kind epieikēs but alla also kai to the ho unjust skolios. 19 For gar this houtos is commendable charis, if ei because dia of conscience syneidēsis toward God theos someone tis endures hypopherō pain lypē while suffering paschō unjustly adikōs. 20 For gar what poios praise kleos is there if ei, when you do wrong hamartanō and kai are beaten kolaphizō for it, you endure hypomenō it? But alla if ei when you do good agathopoieō and kai suffer paschō for it you endure hypomenō it, this houtos is commendable charis in para God’ s theos sight. 21 For gar to eis this houtos you have been called kaleō, because hoti Christ Christos also kai suffered paschō for hyper you hymeis, leaving behind hypolimpanō for you hymeis an example hypogrammos so that hina you might follow epakoloutheō in ho his autos footsteps ichnos. 22 He hos did poieō not ou commit poieō sin hamartia, nor oude was deceit dolos found heuriskō in en · ho his autos mouth stoma. 23 When he hos was insulted loidoreō, he did not ou respond with an insult antiloidoreō; when he suffered paschō, he did not ou threaten apeileō, but de entrusted himself paradidōmi to the ho one who judges krinō justly dikaiōs. 24 He hos himself autos bore anapherō · ho our hēmeis sins hamartia in en · ho his autos body sōma on epi the ho tree xylon so that hina we zaō, having died apoginomai to ho sins hamartia, might live zaō to ho righteousness dikaiosynē. By ho his hos wounds mōlōps you were healed iaomai. 25 For gar you were eimi like hōs sheep probaton, going astray planaō, but alla now nyn you have turned back epistrephō to epi the ho shepherd poimēn and kai guardian episkopos of ho your hymeis souls psychē.
