1. Pet 2:1 Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, all evil speakings,

1. Pet 2:2 As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:

1. Pet 2:3 If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious.

1. Pet 2:4 To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious,

1. Pet 2:5 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.

1. Pet 2:6 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.

1. Pet 2:7 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,

1. Pet 2:8 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.

1. Pet 2:9 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;

1. Pet 2:10 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.

1. Pet 2:11 Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;

1. Pet 2:12 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.

1. Pet 2:13 Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme;

1. Pet 2:14 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.

1. Pet 2:15 For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:

1. Pet 2:16 As free, and not using your liberty for a cloke of maliciousness, but as the servants of God.

1. Pet 2:17 Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king.

1. Pet 2:18 Servants, be subject to your masters with all fear; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the froward.

1. Pet 2:19 For this is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully.

1. Pet 2:20 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.

1. Pet 2:21 For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:

1. Pet 2:22 Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:

1. Pet 2:23 Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously:

1. Pet 2:24 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.

1. Pet 2:25 For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.
Lk 3:7 Then said he to the multitude that came forth to be baptized of him, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?

Lk 3:8 Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, That God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.

Lk 3:9 And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: every tree therefore which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

Lk 3:10 And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then?

Lk 3:11 He answereth and saith unto them, He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath meat, let him do likewise.

Lk 3:12 Then came also publicans to be baptized, and said unto him, Master, what shall we do?

Lk 3:13 And he said unto them, Exact no more than that which is appointed you.

Lk 3:14 And the soldiers likewise demanded of him, saying, And what shall we do? And he said unto them, Do violence to no man, neither accuse any falsely; and be content with your wages.

Lk 3:15 And as the people were in expectation, and all men mused in their hearts of John, whether he were the Christ, or not;

Lk 3:16 John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire:

Lk 3:17 Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and will gather the wheat into his garner; but the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable.

Lk 3:18 And many other things in his exhortation preached he unto the people.

Lc 3:7 Il disait donc à la foule qui venait se faire baptiser par lui : « Engeance de vipères, qui vous a appris à fuir la colère à venir ?

Lc 3:8 Produisez donc des fruits dignes de la repentance, et ne vous mettez pas à dire en vous-mêmes : Nous avons Abraham pour père ! Car je vous déclare que Dieu peut de ces pierres-ci susciter des enfants à Abraham.

Lc 3:9 Mais déjà la hache même est mise à la racine des arbres ; tout arbre donc qui ne produit pas de bon fruit doit être coupé et jeté au feu. »

Lc 3:10 Et la foule lui demandait : « Qu'avons-nous donc à faire ? »

Lc 3:11 Mais il leur répliquait : « Que celui qui a deux tuniques partage avec celui qui n'en a point, et que celui qui a des vivres fasse de même. »

Lc 3:12 Or il vint aussi des publicains pour se faire baptiser, et ils lui dirent : « Maître, qu'avons-nous à faire ? »

Lc 3:13 Mais il leur dit : « N'exigez rien au delà de ce qui vous est prescrit. »

Lc 3:14 Des soldats aussi lui demandaient : « Et nous de notre côté que ferons-nous ? » Et il leur dit : « N'opprimez ni ne vexez personne, et contentez-vous de votre paie. »

Lc 3:15 Mais comme le peuple était dans l'attente, et que tous se demandaient en leurs cœurs relativement à Jean, s'il ne serait point lui-même le Christ,

Lc 3:16 Jean s'adressant à tous leur dit : « Pour moi, je vous baptise d'eau ; mais il vient, celui qui est plus puissant que moi, et je ne suis pas digne de délier la courroie de ses sandales ; c'est lui qui vous baptisera d'Esprit saint et de feu.

Lc 3:17 Il tient son van dans sa main pour nettoyer son aire et serrer le blé dans son grenier ; mais il brûlera la paille dans un feu inextinguible. »

Lc 3:18 Tandis donc qu'il évangélisait le peuple, en lui adressant encore plusieurs autres exhortations,

1Pt 2:1 A tak složiac každú zlosť a každú lesť a pokrytstvá a závisti a všetky pomluvy

1Pt 2:2 jako priam teraz zrodené nemluvniatka žiadostiví buďte mlieka bezo ľsti, Božieho slova, aby ste ním rástli na spasenie,

1Pt 2:3 akže ste okúsili, že je Pán dobrotivý,

1Pt 2:4 ku ktorému prichádzajúc k živému kameňu, síce od ľudí, jako čo by bol nesúci, zavrhnutému, ale u Boha vyvolenému, drahocennému,

1Pt 2:5 i sami sa jako živé kamene buduj(e)te, duchovný dom, sväté kňazstvo, obetovať duchovné obeti, príjemné Bohu skrze Ježiša Krista.

1Pt 2:6 Preto je aj napísané v Písme: Hľa, kladiem na Sione uholný kameň vyvolený, drahocenný, a ten, kto verí naň, nebude zahanbený.

1Pt 2:7 Tedy vám veriacim česť, ale neposlušným kameň, ktorý zavrhli stavitelia, práve ten sa stal uholnou hlavou a kameňom úrazu a skalou pohoršenia,

1Pt 2:8 im, ktorí sa urážajú na slove súc neposlušní, na čo sú aj určení.

1Pt 2:9 Ale vy ste vyvolený rod, kráľovské kňazstvo, svätý národ, ľud, určený byť Božím vlastníctvom, aby ste zvestovali cnosti toho, ktorý vás povolal zo tmy do svojho predivného svetla,

1Pt 2:10 ktorí ste kedysi neboli ani ľudom, ale teraz ste ľud Boží; ktorí ste neboli dostali milosrdenstva, ale teraz ste dostali milosrdenstvo.

1Pt 2:11 Milovaní, napomínam ako pohostínov a pútnikov, aby ste sa zdŕžali telesných žiadostí, ktoré vojujú proti duši.

1Pt 2:12 Svoje obcovanie medzi pohanmi majúci dobré, aby vo veci, v ktorej vás ohovárajú ako takých, ktorí robia zle, vidiac vaše dobré skutky oslavovali Boha v deň navštívenia.

1Pt 2:13 A tak buďte poddaní každému ľudskému stvoreniu pre Pána, buďto kráľovi, jako najvyššiemu,

1Pt 2:14 buďto vladárom, ako ním posielaným na pomstu zle činiacich a na chválu dobre činiacich.

1Pt 2:15 Lebo tak je vôľa Božia, aby ste dobre činiac zapchali ústa nevedomosti nerozumných ľudí.

1Pt 2:16 Jako slobodní, a nie ako takí, ktorí majú slobodu na zásteru zlosti, ale jako sluhovia Boží.

1Pt 2:17 Všetkých uctite, bratstvo milujte, Boha sa bojte, kráľa ctite.

1Pt 2:18 Čeľadíni takí, ktorí sa podriaďujú v celej bázni pánom, a to nie len dobrým a prívetivým, ale aj prevráteným;

1Pt 2:19 lebo to je milosť, ak niekto pre dobré svedomie Božie znáša zármutky trpiac nespravedlivo.

1Pt 2:20 Lebo veď aká je to sláva, čo hoci i pohlavky trpíte, ak hrešíte?! Ale ak dobre robíte a tak bez viny trpiac znášate, to je milosť u Boha.

1Pt 2:21 Lebo nato ste povolaní, pretože aj Kristus trpel za nás zanechajúc nám príklad, aby ste nasledovali jeho šľapaje,

1Pt 2:22 ktorý neučinil hriechu, ani sa nenašla v jeho ústach lesť;

1Pt 2:23 ktorý, keď mu zlorečili, on nezlorečil; keď trpel, nehrozil, ale porúčal tomu, ktorý spravedlivo súdi,

1Pt 2:24 ktorý sám vyniesol naše hriechy na svojom tele na drevo, aby sme odumreli hriechom a žili spravedlivosti, ktorého sinavicami ste uzdravení.

1Pt 2:25 Lebo ste boli jako blúdiace ovce, ale teraz ste obrátení k pastierovi a biskupovi svojich duší.
Lk 3:7 A hovoril zástupom, ktoré vychádzaly, aby sa mu daly pokrstiť: Plemä vreteníc, ktože vám ukázal, aby ste utiekli budúcemu hnevu?

Lk 3:8 Tedy neste ovocie, hodné pokánia! A nezačnite hovoriť sami v sebe: Veď otca máme Abraháma! Lebo vám hovorím, že Bôh môže i z týchto kameňov vzbudiť Abrahámovi deti.

Lk 3:9 A už je aj sekera priložená na koreň stromov. Každý teda strom, ktorý nerodí dobrého ovocia, vytínajú a hádžu na oheň.

Lk 3:10 A zástupy sa ho pýtaly a vravely: Čože teda budeme robiť?

Lk 3:11 A on odpovedal a vravel im: Kto má dvoje sukieň, nech udelí tomu, kto nemá, a ten, kto má jedlá, nech činí podobne!

Lk 3:12 A prišli aj colní dať sa pokrstiť a povedali mu: Učiteľu, čo budeme robiť?

Lk 3:13 A on im povedal: Nič viacej nevyberajte nad to, čo vám je nariadené!

Lk 3:14 A pýtali sa ho aj vojaci a hovorili: A my čo budeme robiť? A povedal im: Nikoho nezastrašujte a tak nezdierajte ani nerobte ničoho podvodne a majte dosť na svojom plate.

Lk 3:15 A keď očakával ľud, a všetci rozmýšľali vo svojom srdci o Jánovi, či nie je asi on Kristus,

Lk 3:16 odpovedal Ján všetkým a riekol: Ja vás krstím vodou, ale ide mocnejší odo mňa, ktorému nie som hoden rozviazať remienok na jeho obuvi; ten vás bude krstiť Svätým Duchom a ohňom;

Lk 3:17 ktorého vejačka je v jeho ruke, a prečistí svoje humno a shromaždí pšenicu do svojej obilnice, ale plevy bude páliť neuhasiteľným ohňom.

Lk 3:18 A tak aj vzhľadom na mnohé iné veci napomínal a tak zvestoval ľudu evanjelium.

1Jo 2:2 und seid gierig nach der vernünftigen lautern Milch als die jetzt gebornen Kindlein, auf daß ihr durch dieselbige zunehmet,

1Jo 2:3 so ihr anders geschmecket habt, daß der HErr freundlich ist,

1Jo 2:4 zu welchem ihr kommen seid als zu dem lebendigen Stein, der von den Menschen verworfen, aber bei GOtt ist er auserwählet und köstlich.

1Jo 2:5 Und auch ihr, als die lebendigen Steine, bauet euch zum geistlichen Hause und zum heiligen Priestertum, zu opfern geistliche Opfer, die GOtt angenehm sind durch JEsum Christum.

1Jo 2:6 Darum stehet in der Schrift: Siehe da, ich lege einen auserwählten, köstlichen Eckstein in Zion; und wer an ihn glaubet, der soll nicht zuschanden werden.

1Jo 2:7 Euch nun, die ihr glaubet, ist er köstlich; den Ungläubigen aber ist der Stein, den die Bauleute verworfen haben, und zum Eckstein worden ist,

1Jo 2:8 ein Stein des Anstoßens und ein Fels des Ärgernisses, die sich stoßen an dem Wort und glauben nicht daran, darauf sie gesetzt sind.

1Jo 2:9 Ihr aber seid das auserwählte Geschlecht, das königliche Priestertum, das heilige Volk, das Volk des Eigentums, daß ihr verkündigen sollt die Tugenden des, der euch berufen hat von der Finsternis zu seinem wunderbaren Licht,

1Jo 2:10 die ihr weiland nicht ein Volk waret, nun aber Gottes Volk seid, und weiland nicht in Gnaden waret, nun aber in Gnaden seid.

1Jo 2:11 Liebe Brüder, ich ermahne euch, als die Fremdlinge und Pilgrime, enthaltet euch von fleischlichen Lüsten, welche wider die See LE streiten,

1Jo 2:12 und führet einen guten Wandel unter den Heiden, auf daß die, so von euch afterreden als von Übeltätern, eure guten Werke sehen und GOtt preisen, wenn es nun an den Tag kommen wird.

1Jo 2:13 Seid untertan aller menschlichen Ordnung um des HErrn willen, es sei dem Könige, als dem Obersten,

1Jo 2:14 oder den Hauptleuten, als den Gesandten von ihm zur Rache über die Übeltäter und zu Lobe den Frommen.

1Jo 2:15 Denn das ist der Wille Gottes, daß ihr mit Wohltun verstopfet die Unwissenheit der törichten Menschen,

1Jo 2:16 als die Freien, und nicht als hättet ihr die Freiheit zum Deckel der Bosheit, sondern als die Knechte Gottes.

1Jo 2:17 Tut Ehre jedermann! Habt die Brüder lieb! Fürchtet GOtt! Ehret den König!

1Jo 2:18 Ihr Knechte, seid untertan mit aller Furcht den Herren, nicht allein den gütigen und gelinden, sondern auch den wunderlichen.

1Jo 2:22 welcher keine Sünde getan hat, ist auch kein Betrug in seinem Munde erfunden;

1Jo 2:24 welcher unsere Sünden selbst geopfert hat an seinem Leibe auf dem Holz, auf daß wir, der Sünde abgestorben, der Gerechtigkeit leben; durch welches Wunden ihr seid heil worden.

1. Pet 2:1 Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, all evil speakings,

1. Pet 2:2 As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:

1. Pet 2:3 If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious.

1. Pet 2:4 To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious,

1. Pet 2:5 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.

1. Pet 2:6 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.

1. Pet 2:7 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,

1. Pet 2:8 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.

1. Pet 2:9 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;

1. Pet 2:10 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.

1. Pet 2:11 Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;

1. Pet 2:12 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.

1. Pet 2:13 Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme;

1. Pet 2:14 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.

1. Pet 2:15 For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:

1. Pet 2:16 As free, and not using your liberty for a cloke of maliciousness, but as the servants of God.

1. Pet 2:17 Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king.

1. Pet 2:18 Servants, be subject to your masters with all fear; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the froward.

1. Pet 2:19 For this is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully.

1. Pet 2:20 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.

1. Pet 2:21 For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:

1. Pet 2:22 Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:

1. Pet 2:23 Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously:

1. Pet 2:24 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.

1. Pet 2:25 For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.

1Pt 2:1 A tak složiac každú zlosť a každú lesť a pokrytstvá a závisti a všetky pomluvy

1Pt 2:2 jako priam teraz zrodené nemluvniatka žiadostiví buďte mlieka bezo ľsti, Božieho slova, aby ste ním rástli na spasenie,

1Pt 2:3 akže ste okúsili, že je Pán dobrotivý,

1Pt 2:4 ku ktorému prichádzajúc k živému kameňu, síce od ľudí, jako čo by bol nesúci, zavrhnutému, ale u Boha vyvolenému, drahocennému,

1Pt 2:5 i sami sa jako živé kamene buduj(e)te, duchovný dom, sväté kňazstvo, obetovať duchovné obeti, príjemné Bohu skrze Ježiša Krista.

1Pt 2:6 Preto je aj napísané v Písme: Hľa, kladiem na Sione uholný kameň vyvolený, drahocenný, a ten, kto verí naň, nebude zahanbený.

1Pt 2:7 Tedy vám veriacim česť, ale neposlušným kameň, ktorý zavrhli stavitelia, práve ten sa stal uholnou hlavou a kameňom úrazu a skalou pohoršenia,

1Pt 2:8 im, ktorí sa urážajú na slove súc neposlušní, na čo sú aj určení.

1Pt 2:9 Ale vy ste vyvolený rod, kráľovské kňazstvo, svätý národ, ľud, určený byť Božím vlastníctvom, aby ste zvestovali cnosti toho, ktorý vás povolal zo tmy do svojho predivného svetla,

1Pt 2:10 ktorí ste kedysi neboli ani ľudom, ale teraz ste ľud Boží; ktorí ste neboli dostali milosrdenstva, ale teraz ste dostali milosrdenstvo.

1Pt 2:11 Milovaní, napomínam ako pohostínov a pútnikov, aby ste sa zdŕžali telesných žiadostí, ktoré vojujú proti duši.

1Pt 2:12 Svoje obcovanie medzi pohanmi majúci dobré, aby vo veci, v ktorej vás ohovárajú ako takých, ktorí robia zle, vidiac vaše dobré skutky oslavovali Boha v deň navštívenia.

1Pt 2:13 A tak buďte poddaní každému ľudskému stvoreniu pre Pána, buďto kráľovi, jako najvyššiemu,

1Pt 2:14 buďto vladárom, ako ním posielaným na pomstu zle činiacich a na chválu dobre činiacich.

1Pt 2:15 Lebo tak je vôľa Božia, aby ste dobre činiac zapchali ústa nevedomosti nerozumných ľudí.

1Pt 2:16 Jako slobodní, a nie ako takí, ktorí majú slobodu na zásteru zlosti, ale jako sluhovia Boží.

1Pt 2:17 Všetkých uctite, bratstvo milujte, Boha sa bojte, kráľa ctite.

1Pt 2:18 Čeľadíni takí, ktorí sa podriaďujú v celej bázni pánom, a to nie len dobrým a prívetivým, ale aj prevráteným;

1Pt 2:19 lebo to je milosť, ak niekto pre dobré svedomie Božie znáša zármutky trpiac nespravedlivo.

1Pt 2:20 Lebo veď aká je to sláva, čo hoci i pohlavky trpíte, ak hrešíte?! Ale ak dobre robíte a tak bez viny trpiac znášate, to je milosť u Boha.

1Pt 2:21 Lebo nato ste povolaní, pretože aj Kristus trpel za nás zanechajúc nám príklad, aby ste nasledovali jeho šľapaje,

1Pt 2:22 ktorý neučinil hriechu, ani sa nenašla v jeho ústach lesť;

1Pt 2:23 ktorý, keď mu zlorečili, on nezlorečil; keď trpel, nehrozil, ale porúčal tomu, ktorý spravedlivo súdi,

1Pt 2:24 ktorý sám vyniesol naše hriechy na svojom tele na drevo, aby sme odumreli hriechom a žili spravedlivosti, ktorého sinavicami ste uzdravení.

1Pt 2:25 Lebo ste boli jako blúdiace ovce, ale teraz ste obrátení k pastierovi a biskupovi svojich duší.

1. Pet 2:1 Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, all evil speakings,
1. Pet 2:2 As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:
1. Pet 2:3 If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious.
1. Pet 2:4 To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious,
1. Pet 2:5 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.
1. Pet 2:6 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.
1. Pet 2:7 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,
1. Pet 2:8 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.
1. Pet 2:9 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;
1. Pet 2:10 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.
1. Pet 2:11 Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;
1. Pet 2:12 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.
1. Pet 2:13 Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme;
1. Pet 2:14 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.
1. Pet 2:15 For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:
1. Pet 2:16 As free, and not using your liberty for a cloke of maliciousness, but as the servants of God.
1. Pet 2:17 Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king.
1. Pet 2:18 Servants, be subject to your masters with all fear; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the froward.
1. Pet 2:19 For this is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully.
1. Pet 2:20 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.
1. Pet 2:21 For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:
1. Pet 2:22 Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:

1Pt 2:1 A tak složiac každú zlosť a každú lesť a pokrytstvá a závisti a všetky pomluvy
1Pt 2:2 jako priam teraz zrodené nemluvniatka žiadostiví buďte mlieka bezo ľsti, Božieho slova, aby ste ním rástli na spasenie,
1Pt 2:3 akže ste okúsili, že je Pán dobrotivý,
1Pt 2:4 ku ktorému prichádzajúc k živému kameňu, síce od ľudí, jako čo by bol nesúci, zavrhnutému, ale u Boha vyvolenému, drahocennému,
1Pt 2:5 i sami sa jako živé kamene buduj(e)te, duchovný dom, sväté kňazstvo, obetovať duchovné obeti, príjemné Bohu skrze Ježiša Krista.
1Pt 2:6 Preto je aj napísané v Písme: Hľa, kladiem na Sione uholný kameň vyvolený, drahocenný, a ten, kto verí naň, nebude zahanbený.
1Pt 2:7 Tedy vám veriacim česť, ale neposlušným kameň, ktorý zavrhli stavitelia, práve ten sa stal uholnou hlavou a kameňom úrazu a skalou pohoršenia,
1Pt 2:8 im, ktorí sa urážajú na slove súc neposlušní, na čo sú aj určení.
1Pt 2:9 Ale vy ste vyvolený rod, kráľovské kňazstvo, svätý národ, ľud, určený byť Božím vlastníctvom, aby ste zvestovali cnosti toho, ktorý vás povolal zo tmy do svojho predivného svetla,
1Pt 2:10 ktorí ste kedysi neboli ani ľudom, ale teraz ste ľud Boží; ktorí ste neboli dostali milosrdenstva, ale teraz ste dostali milosrdenstvo.
1Pt 2:11 Milovaní, napomínam ako pohostínov a pútnikov, aby ste sa zdŕžali telesných žiadostí, ktoré vojujú proti duši.
1Pt 2:12 Svoje obcovanie medzi pohanmi majúci dobré, aby vo veci, v ktorej vás ohovárajú ako takých, ktorí robia zle, vidiac vaše dobré skutky oslavovali Boha v deň navštívenia.
1Pt 2:13 A tak buďte poddaní každému ľudskému stvoreniu pre Pána, buďto kráľovi, jako najvyššiemu,
1Pt 2:14 buďto vladárom, ako ním posielaným na pomstu zle činiacich a na chválu dobre činiacich.
1Pt 2:15 Lebo tak je vôľa Božia, aby ste dobre činiac zapchali ústa nevedomosti nerozumných ľudí.
1Pt 2:16 Jako slobodní, a nie ako takí, ktorí majú slobodu na zásteru zlosti, ale jako sluhovia Boží.
1Pt 2:17 Všetkých uctite, bratstvo milujte, Boha sa bojte, kráľa ctite.
1Pt 2:18 Čeľadíni takí, ktorí sa podriaďujú v celej bázni pánom, a to nie len dobrým a prívetivým, ale aj prevráteným;
1Pt 2:19 lebo to je milosť, ak niekto pre dobré svedomie Božie znáša zármutky trpiac nespravedlivo.
1Pt 2:20 Lebo veď aká je to sláva, čo hoci i pohlavky trpíte, ak hrešíte?! Ale ak dobre robíte a tak bez viny trpiac znášate, to je milosť u Boha.
1Pt 2:21 Lebo nato ste povolaní, pretože aj Kristus trpel za nás zanechajúc nám príklad, aby ste nasledovali jeho šľapaje,
1Pt 2:22 ktorý neučinil hriechu, ani sa nenašla v jeho ústach lesť;
1Pt 2:23 ktorý, keď mu zlorečili, on nezlorečil; keď trpel, nehrozil, ale porúčal tomu, ktorý spravedlivo súdi,
1Pt 2:24 ktorý sám vyniesol naše hriechy na svojom tele na drevo, aby sme odumreli hriechom a žili spravedlivosti, ktorého sinavicami ste uzdravení.
1Pt 2:25 Lebo ste boli jako blúdiace ovce, ale teraz ste obrátení k pastierovi a biskupovi svojich duší.
