| 2:1 | Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings, |
| 2:2 | As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby: |
| 2:3 | If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious. |
| 2:4 | To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious, |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| 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, |
| 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. |
| 2:8 | 又說、『作了絆腳的石頭、跌人的磐石。』他們既不順從、就在道理上絆跌〔或作他們絆跌都因不順從道理〕．他們這樣絆跌也是豫定的。 |
| 2:8 | 又说，作了绊脚的石头，跌人的磐石。他们既不顺从，就在道理上绊跌（或作他们绊跌都因不顺从道理）。他们这样绊跌也是豫定的。 |
| isa:8:14 | And he shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offence to both the houses of Israel, for a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem. |
| rom:9:33 | As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. |
| 1co:1:23 | But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness; |
| luk:2:34 | And Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary his mother, Behold, this child is set for the fall and rising again of many in Israel; and for a sign which shall be spoken against; |
| 1ts:5:9 | For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, |
| jud:1:4 | For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ. |

| 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: |
| 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. |
| 2:11 | Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul; |
| 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. |
| 2:13 | Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme; |
| 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. |
| 2:15 | For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men: |
| 2:16 | As free, and not using your liberty for a cloke of maliciousness, but as the servants of God. |
| 2:17 | Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king. |
| 2:18 | Servants, be subject to your masters with all fear; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the froward. |
| 2:19 | For this is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully. |
| 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. |
| 2:21 | For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps: |
| 2:22 | Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth: |
| 2:23 | Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously: |
| 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. |
| 2:25 | For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls. |
