MODERN LITERAL VERSION 2019 VERSION

2:1 Therefore having placed away from yourselves all malice and all treachery, and hypocrisies and envies, and all slanders,

2:2 as newborn babies, long-for* the logical milk which has no treachery, in order that you* may grow in it;

2:3 if indeed*, you* tasted it, that the Lord is kind;

2:4 coming to whom is a living stone, having indeed been rejected* by men, but chosen and precious with God.

2:5 You*, yourselves, like living stones, are also built up as a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

2:6 Because it is contained in the Scripture, 'Behold, I place in Zion, a cornerstone, chosen and precious, and the one who believes on him may never* be ashamed. ' {Isa 28:16}

2:7 Therefore, to those who believe is the honor, but to the disobedient, ' The stone which the builders rejected*, this became to them the head of the corner'; {Psa 118:22}

2:8 and, 'A stone of stumbling and a rock of offense'; {Isa 8:14} to those who are stumbling in the word, being disobedient, toward which they were also appointed*.

2:9 But you* are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people *for God's ownership, *that you* may proclaim the virtues of the one who called you* out of darkness into his marvelous light;

2:10 who previously were not a people, but now are the people of God; who had not been shown-mercy, but now were shown-mercy. {Hos 1:10, 2:23}


2:11 Beloved, I am encouraging you*, as foreigners and travelers, to abstain from fleshly lusts, which are warring against the soul;

2:12 having your* good conduct seen among the Gentiles; in order that, in what they are speaking against you*, as evildoers, they may glorify God in the day of visitation, having eye-witnessed things from your * good works.

2:13 Therefore be* subject to every human creation because of the Lord: whether to the king, as being superior to you*;

2:14 or to governors, as they are sent through him *for vengeance on evildoers and praise to the doers of good.

2:15 Because so is the will of God, doing good things to hush the ignorance of foolish men;

2:16 as free and yet not having your * freedom as a cover-up of malice, but as bondservants of God.

2:17 Honor* all men. Love** the brotherhood. Fear* God. Honor* the king.


2:18 Domestic servants, be subject to your * masters in all fear; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the crooked.

2:19 For* this is grace, if anyone undergoes sorrows, suffering wrongfully because of his consciousness of God.

2:20 For* what credit is it, if, when you* are sinning and are battered for it, you* will be enduring it? But if, when you* are doing good and are suffering for it, you* will be enduring it; this is grace with God.

2:21 For* you* were called into this, because Christ also suffered on our behalf, leaving a model for you*, in order that you* should follow after his footprints.

2:22 He who did no sin, nor was treachery found in his mouth;

2:23 who, being reviled, was not reviling again in return; when suffering, was not threatening, (but was giving himself to the one who judges righteously),

2:24 who, himself, carried our sins in his body upon the tree, in order that we might live to righteousness, having died to our sins; by whose wound s you* were healed.

2:25 For* you* were being misled like sheep, but now were returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your* souls. {Isa 53}
