Bible. Peter, 1st
60:002:010 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.
60:002:011 Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims,
abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;
60:002:012 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.
60:002:013 Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's
sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme;
60:002:014 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.
60:002:015 For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to
silence the ignorance of foolish men:
60:002:016 As free, and not using your liberty for a cloke of
maliciousness, but as the servants of God.
60:002:017 Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the
king.
60:002:018 Servants, be subject to your masters with all fear; not only
to the good and gentle, but also to the froward.
60:002:019 For this is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God
endure grief, suffering wrongfully.
60:002:020 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.
60:002:021 For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered
for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his
steps:
60:002:022 Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:
60:002:023 Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered,
he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth
righteously:
60:002:024 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.
60:002:025 For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto
the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.
60:003:001 Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands;
that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word
be won by the conversation of the wives;
60:003:002 While they behold your chaste conversation coupled with fear.
60:003:003 Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting
the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel;
60:003:004 But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is
not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit,
which is in the sight of God of great price.
