1 | Putting away therefore all wickedness, all deceit, hypocrisies, envies, and all evil speaking, | 1Pe 1:18-25 |
2 | as newborn babes, long for the pure milk of the Word, that you may grow thereby, | 1Pe 1:23 Mt 18:3 Mk 10:15 Ro 6:4 1Co 3:1 1Co 14:20 |
3 | if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is gracious: | Ps 9:10 Ps 24:8 Ps 63:5 So 2:3 Zc 9:17 Heb 6:5 Heb 6:6 |
4 | coming to him, a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God, precious. | Isa 55:3 Jer 3:22 Mt 11:28 Jn 5:40 Jn 6:37 |
5 | You also, as living stones, are built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. | 1Co 3:16 1Co 6:19 2Co 6:16 Eph 2:20-22 Heb 3:6 Rev 3:12 |
6 | Because it is contained in scripture, "Behold, I lay in Zion a chief cornerstone, elect, precious: He who believes in him will not be put to shame." | Dn 10:21 Mk 12:10 Jn 7:38 Ac 1:16 2Ti 3:16 2Pe 1:20 2Pe 3:16 |
7 | For you therefore who believe is the honor, but for such as are disobedient, "The stone which the builders rejected, Has become the chief cornerstone," | 1Pe 1:8 So 5:9-16 Hg 2:7 Mt 13:44-46 Jn 4:42 Jn 6:68 Jn 6:69 Php 3:7-10 |
8 | and, "A stone of stumbling, and a rock of offense." For they stumble at the word, being disobedient, whereunto also they were appointed. | Isa 8:14 Isa 57:14 Lk 2:34 Ro 9:32 Ro 9:33 1Co 1:23 2Co 2:16 |
9 | But you are an elect race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God`s own possession, that you may show forth the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light: | 1Pe 1:2 Dt 10:15 Ps 22:30 Ps 33:12 Ps 73:15 Isa 41:8 Isa 44:1 |
10 | who in time past were no people, but now are the people of God, who had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy. | Hos 1:9 Hos 1:10 Ro 9:25 Ro 9:26 |
11 | Beloved, I beg you as sojourners and pilgrims, to abstain from fleshly lust, which war against the soul; | Ro 12:1 2Co 5:20 2Co 6:1 Eph 4:1 Phm 1:9 Phm 1:10 |
12 | having good behavior among the nations, so in that which they speak against you as evil-doers, they may by your good works, which they see, glorify God in the day of visitation. | 1Pe 3:2 Ps 37:14 Ps 50:23 2Co 1:12 Eph 2:3 Eph 4:22 Php 1:27 1Ti 4:12 Heb 13:5 Jm 3:13 2Pe 3:11 |
13 | Therefore subject yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord`s sake: whether to the king, as supreme; | Pr 17:11 Pr 24:21 Jer 29:7 Mt 22:21 Mk 12:17 Lk 20:25 Ro 13:1-7 Eph 5:21 1Ti 2:1 1Ti 2:2 Tit 3:1 2Pe 2:10 Jud 1:8-10 |
14 | or to governors, as sent by him for vengeance on evil-doers and for praise to those who do well. | Ro 13:3 Ro 13:4 |
15 | For so is the will of God, that by well-doing you should put to silence the ignorance of foolish men: | 1Pe 4:2 Eph 6:6 Eph 6:7 1Th 4:3 1Th 5:18 |
16 | as free, and not using your freedom for a cloak of wickedness, but as bondservants of God. | Jn 8:32-36 Ro 6:18 Ro 6:22 1Co 7:22 Ga 5:1 Ga 5:13 Jm 1:25 Jm 2:12 2Pe 2:19 |
17 | Honor all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the king. | 1Pe 5:5 Ex 20:12 Lv 19:32 1Sa 15:30 Ro 12:10 Ro 13:7 Php 2:3 1Ti 6:1 |
18 | Servants, be in subjection to your masters with all fear; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the wicked. | Eph 6:5-7 Col 3:22-25 1Ti 6:1-3 Tit 2:9 Tit 2:10 |
19 | For it is commendable if someone endures pain, suffering unjustly, because of conscience toward God. | 1Pe 2:20 Lk 6:32 |
20 | For what glory is it, if, when you sin, you patiently endure beating? But if, when you do well, you patiently endure suffering, this is commendable with God. | 1Pe 3:14 1Pe 4:14-16 Mt 5:47 |
21 | For to this were you called, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that you should follow his steps, | Mt 10:38 Mt 16:24 Mk 8:34 Mk 8:35 Lk 9:23-25 Lk 14:26 Lk 14:27 Jn 16:33 Ac 9:16 Ac 14:22 1Th 3:3 1Th 4:2 2Ti 3:12 |
22 | who did not sin, "neither was deceit found in his mouth." | Isa 53:9 Mt 27:4 Mt 27:19 Mt 27:23 Mt 27:24 Lk 23:41 Lk 23:47 Jn 8:46 2Co 5:21 Heb 4:15 Heb 7:26 Heb 7:27 Heb 9:28 1Jn 2:1 1Jn 3:5 |
23 | Who, when he was reviled, didn`t revile back. When he suffered, didn`t threaten, but committed himself to him who judges righteously; | Ps 38:12-14 Isa 53:7 Mt 27:39-44 Mk 14:60 Mk 14:61 Mk 15:29-32 Lk 22:64 Lk 22:65 Lk 23:9 Lk 23:34-39 Jn 8:48 Jn 8:49 Jn 19:9-11 Ac 8:32-35 Heb 12:3 |
24 | who his own self bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live to righteousness; by whose stripes you were healed. | Ex 28:38 Lv 16:22 Lv 22:9 Nm 18:22 Ps 38:4 Isa 53:4-6 Isa 53:11-6 Mt 8:17 Jn 1:29 Heb 9:28 |
25 | For you were going astray like sheep; but are now returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls. | Ps 119:176 Isa 53:6 Jer 23:2 Ezk 34:6 Mt 9:36 Mt 18:12 Lk 15:4-6 |
