English Bible Presentation Sharing - 1-Peter Book, chapter 2, verse 18 in Mkjv Version

1 Peter 2 : 1 (MKJV)

Therefore laying aside all malice and all guile and hypocrisies and envyings, and all evil speakings,

1 Peter 2 : 2 (MKJV)

desire the sincere milk of the Word, as newborn babes, so that you may grow by it;

1 Peter 2 : 3 (MKJV)

if truly you have tasted that the Lord is gracious.

1 Peter 2 : 4 (MKJV)

For having been drawn to Him, a living Stone, indeed rejected by men, but elect, precious with God;

1 Peter 2 : 5 (MKJV)

you also as living stones are built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

1 Peter 2 : 6 (MKJV)

Therefore also it is contained in the Scripture: "Behold, I lay in Zion a chief corner Stone, elect, precious, and he who believes on Him shall never be ashamed."

1 Peter 2 : 7 (MKJV)

Therefore to you who believe is the honor. But to those who are disobedient, He is the Stone which the builders rejected; this One came to be the Head of the corner,

1 Peter 2 : 8 (MKJV)

and a Stone-of-stumbling and a Rock-of-offense to those disobeying, who stumble at the Word, to which they also were appointed.

1 Peter 2 : 9 (MKJV)

But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for possession, so that you might speak of the praises of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;

1 Peter 2 : 10 (MKJV)

you who then were not a people, but now the people of God, those not pitied then, but now pitied.

1 Peter 2 : 11 (MKJV)

Dearly beloved, I exhort you as temporary residents and pilgrims to abstain from fleshly lusts which war against the soul,

1 Peter 2 : 12 (MKJV)

having your conduct honest among the nations, in that which they speak against you as evildoers, they may glorify God in a day of His visitation, seeing your good works.

1 Peter 2 : 13 (MKJV)

Then be in obedience to every ordinance of men, because of the Lord, whether to a king as supreme,

1 Peter 2 : 14 (MKJV)

or to governors as sent by Him for vengeance on evildoers, but for praise on well-doers.

1 Peter 2 : 15 (MKJV)

For such is the will of God, doing good to silence the ignorance of foolish men;

1 Peter 2 : 16 (MKJV)

as free, and not having freedom as a cover of evil, but as servants of God.

1 Peter 2 : 17 (MKJV)

Honor all. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the king.

1 Peter 2 : 18 (MKJV)

Servants, be subject to your masters with all fear, not only to those good and forbearing, but also to the perverse ones.

1 Peter 2 : 19 (MKJV)

For this is a grace, if for conscience toward God anyone endures grief, suffering wrongfully.

1 Peter 2 : 20 (MKJV)

For what glory is it if you patiently endure while sinning and being buffeted? But if you suffer while doing good, and patiently endure, this is a grace from God.

1 Peter 2 : 21 (MKJV)

For you were not called to this? For Christ also suffered on our behalf, leaving us an example, that you should follow His steps,

1 Peter 2 : 22 (MKJV)

He who did no sin, nor was guile found in His mouth,

1 Peter 2 : 23 (MKJV)

who when He was reviled did not revile in return. When He suffered, He did not threaten, but gave Himself up to Him who judges righteously.

1 Peter 2 : 24 (MKJV)

He Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that dying to sins, we might live to righteousness; by whose stripes you were healed.

1 Peter 2 : 25 (MKJV)

For you were as sheep going astray, but now you are turned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.
