|  | 2:2 | As5613 newborn738 babes1025, desire1971 the sincere97 milk1051 of the word3050, that2443 ye may grow837 thereby1722: | 
|  | 2:3 | If so be1512 ye have tasted1089 that3754 Yahweh2962 is gracious5543. | 
|  | 2:4 | To4314 whom3739 coming4334, as unto a living2198 stone3037, disallowed593 indeed3303 of5259 men444, but1161 chosen1588 of3844 Elohim2316, and precious1784, | 
|  | 2:5 | Ye846 also2532, as5613 lively2198 stones3037, are built up3618 a spiritual4152 house3624, an holy40 priesthood2406, to offer up399 spiritual4152 sacrifices2378, acceptable2144 to Elohim2316 by1223 Yahshua2424 Messiah5547. | 
|  | 2:6 | Wherefore1352 also2532 it is contained4023 in1722 the scripture1124, Behold2400 I lay5087 in1722 Sion4622 a chief corner204 stone3037, elect1588, precious1784: and2532 he that believeth4100 on1909 him846 shall2617 not be3364 confounded2617. | 
|  | 2:7 | Unto you5213 therefore3767 which3588 believe4100 he is precious5092: but1161 unto them which be disobedient544, the stone3037 which3739 the builders3618 disallowed593 the same3778 is made1096 the head2776 of the corner1137, | 
|  | 2:8 | And2532 a stone3037 of stumbling4348, and2532 a rock4073 of offence4625, even to them which3739 stumble4350 at the word3056, being disobedient544: where unto1519 also2532 they were appointed5087. | 
|  | 2:9 | But1161 ye5210 are a chosen1588 generation1085, a royal934 priesthood2406, an holy40 nation1484, a peculiar4047 people2992; that3704 ye should shew forth1804 the praises703 of him who hath called2564 you5209 out of1537 darkness4655 into1519 his846 marvellous2298 light5457: | 
|  | 2:10 | Which3588 in time past4218 were not3756 a people2992, but1161 are now3568 the people2992 of Elohim2316: which3588 had1653 not3756 obtained mercy1653, but1161 now3568 have obtained mercy1653 | 
|  | 2:11 | Dearly beloved27, I beseech3870 you as5613 strangers3941 and2532 pilgrims3927, abstain from567 fleshly4559 lusts1939, which3748 war4754 against2596 the soul5590; | 
|  | 2:12 | Having2192 your5216 conversation391 honest2570 among1722 the Gentiles1484: that2443, whereas1722 they speak against2635 you5216 as5613 evildoers2555, they may1392 by1537 your good2570 works2041, which they shall behold2029, glorify1392 Elohim2316 in1722 the day2250 of visitation1984. | 
|  | 2:13 | Submit yourselves5293 to every3956 ordinance2937 of man442 for1223 Yahweh's sake2962: whether it be1535 to the king935, as5613 supreme5242; | 
|  | 2:14 | Or1535 unto governors2232, as5613 unto them that are sent3992 by1223 him846 for1519 the punishment1557 of evildoers2555, and1161 for the praise1868 of them that do well17. | 
|  | 2:15 | For3754 so3779 is2076 the will2307 of Elohim2316, that with well doing15 ye may put to silence5392 the ignorance56 of foolish878 men444: | 
|  | 2:16 | As5613 free1658, and2532 not3361 using2192 your liberty1657 for5613 a cloke1942 of maliciousness2549, but235 as5613 the servants1401 of Elohim2316. | 
|  | 2:17 | Honour5091 all3956 men. Love25 the brotherhood81. Fear5399 Elohim2316. Honour5091 the king935. | 
|  | 2:18 | Servants3610, be subject5293 to your masters1203 with1722 all3956 fear5401; not3756 only3440 to the good18 and2532 gentle1933, but235 also2532 to the froward4646. | 
|  | 2:19 | For1063 this5124 is thankworthy5485, if1487 a man5100 for1223 conscience4893 toward Elohim2316 endure5297 grief3077, suffering3958 wrongfully95. | 
|  | 2:20 | For1063 what4169 glory2811 is it, if1487, when2532 ye be buffeted2852 for your faults264 ye shall take it patiently5278? But235 if1487, when ye do well15, and2532 suffer3958 for it, ye take it patiently5278, this5124 is acceptable5485 with3844 Elohim2316. | 
|  | 2:21 | For1063 even1519 here unto5124 were ye called2564: because3754 Messiah5547 also2532 suffered3958 for5228 us2257, leaving5277 us2254 an example5261, that2443 ye should follow1872 his846 steps2487: | 
|  | 2:22 | Who3739 did4160 no3756 sin266, neither3761 was guile1388 found2147 in1722 his846 mouth4750: | 
|  | 2:23 | Who3739, when he was reviled3058, reviled486 not3756 again486; when he suffered3958, he threatened546 not3756; but1161 committed3860 himself to him that judgeth2919 righteously1346: | 
|  | 2:24 | Who3739 his own self846 bare399 our2257 sins266 in1722 his own846 body4983 on1909 the tree3586, that2443 we2198, being dead581 to sins266, should live2198 unto righteousness1343: by3739 whose846 stripes3468 ye were healed2390. | 
|  | 2:25 | For1063 ye were2258 as5613 sheep4263 going astray4105; but235 are1994 now3568 returned1994 unto1909 the Shepherd4166 and2532 Bishop1985 of your5216 souls5590. |
