And comingg4334 to Him as to a livingg2198 stoneg3037 which has been  arejectedg593 by meng444, but is  1choiceg1588 and preciousg1784 in the sightg3844 of Godg2316,

For this is containedg4023 in  1Scriptureg1124: " aBEHOLDg2400, I LAYg5087 IN ZIONg4622 A CHOICEg1588 STONEg3037, A  bPRECIOUSg1784 CORNERg204 stone, AND HE WHO BELIEVESg4100 IN  2HIM WILL NOT BE  3DISAPPOINTEDg2617b."

But you are  aA CHOSENg1588 RACEg1085, A royalg934  bPRIESTHOODg2406, A  cHOLYg40 NATIONg1484,  dA PEOPLEg2992 FOR God's OWN POSSESSIONg4047, sog3704 that you may proclaimg1804 the excellenciesg703 of Him who has calledg2564 you  eout of darknessg4655 into His marvelousg2298 lightg5457;

10

 afor you onceg4218 were NOT A PEOPLEg2992, but nowg3568 you are THE PEOPLEg2992 OF GODg2316; you had NOT RECEIVEDg1653 MERCYg1653, but nowg3568 you have RECEIVEDg1653 MERCYg1653.

11

 aBelovedg27,  bI urgeg3870 you as  caliensg3941 and strangersg3927 to abstaing568 from  dfleshlyg4559 lustsg1939 whichg3748 wageg4754  ewarg4754 againstg2596 the soulg5590.

Honor Authority

13

 aSubmitg5293 yourselves for the Lord'sg2962 sakeg1223 to everyg3956 humang442 institutiong2937, whetherg1535a to a kingg935 as the one in authorityg5242,

14

org1535a to governorsg2232 as sentg3992  1by him  afor the punishmentg1557 of evildoersg2555 and the  bpraiseg1868 of those who dog15 rightg15.

15

For  1 asuchg3779 is the willg2307 of Godg2316 that by doingg15 rightg15 you may  bsilenceg5392 the ignoranceg56 of foolishg878 meng444.

16

Act as  afreeg1658 meng1658, and  1do not useg2192 your freedomg1657 as a coveringg1942 for evilg2549, but use it as  bbondslavesg1401 of Godg2316.

17

 aHonorg5091 allg3956 peopleg3956,  bloveg25 the brotherhoodg81,  cfearg5399 Godg2316,  dhonorg5091 the  1kingg935.

 aServantsg3610b, be submissiveg5293 to your mastersg1203 with allg3956 respectg5401, not onlyg3440 to thoseg3588 who are goodg18 and  bgentleg1933, but alsog2532 to thoseg3588 who are  1unreasonableg4646.

19

For thisg3778 finds  1favorg5485, ifg1487 for the sakeg1223 of  aconscienceg4893 toward Godg2316 a persong5100 bearsg5297 up underg5297 sorrowsg3077 when sufferingg3958 unjustlyg95.

20

For whatg4169 creditg2811 is there ifg1487, when you sing264 and are harshlyg2852 treatedg2852, you endureg5278 it with patienceg5278? But ifg1487  awhen you dog15 what is rightg15 and sufferg3958 for it you patientlyg5278 endureg5278 it, thisg3778 finds  1favorg5485 with Godg2316.

 1and while being  areviledg3058, He did not revileg486 in returng486; while sufferingg3958, He utteredg546 nog3756 threatsg546, but kept entrustingg3860 Himself to Him who judgesg2919 righteouslyg1346;
