1
Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, all evil speakings,
2
As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:
3
If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious.
4
To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious,
5
Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.
6
Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded. Isa 28:16 Rom 9:33
7
Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner, Ps 118:22 Matt 21:42 Mark 12:10 Luke 20:17 Acts 4:11 Eph 2:20
8
And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed. Isa 8:14 Rom 9:33
9
But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light;
10
Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.
11
Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;
12
Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation.
13
Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme;
14
Or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well.
15
For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:
16
As free, and not using your liberty for a cloke of maliciousness, but as the servants of God.
17
Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king.
18
Servants, be subject to your masters with all fear; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the froward.
19
For this is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully.
20
For what glory is it, if, when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye take it patiently, this is acceptable with God.
21
For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:
22
Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth: Isa 53:9
23
Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously:
24
Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed. Isa 53:5
25
For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls. Isa 53:6
Summary chapter 2;1 Peter Chapter 2 embraces a couple of key points including a note on what is required for one to grow spiritually. It gives the reader a reminder of their duties and privileges as God’s special creation as pilgrims and sojourners because the world is not our home. This chapter also provides a review of a believer’s duty to submit to governmental authorities.
closing prayer; Heavenly Father, thank You for Your Word, which has all we need for life and godliness. Thank You for the lessons it teaches and for its cleansing power, purify effect and spiritual nourishment .. which is so necessary in this time when the foundation of our faith is being attacked in all quarters. May we sincerely desire the pure milk of the Word so that we may grow in grace, mature in the faith and become increasingly conformed into the image and likeness of the Lord Jesus, in Whose name we pray, AMEN.
For those who wish to become a child of our heavenly Lord, or strengthen thier faith, please pray the following prayer below.
Dear Heavenly Father, I want to be a part of your family. You said in Your Word that if I acknowledge that You raised Jesus from the dead, and that I accept Him as my Lord and Savior, I would be saved. Thank you, Heavenly Father, for forgiving me, saving me, and giving me eternal life with You. Amen!”
By saying this prayer, we believe you are born again.
