Greek New Testament: Byzantine Text (Robinson–Pierpont 2018)
1Putting away therefore all wickedness, all deceit, hypocrisies, envies, and all evil speaking,
1αποθεμενοι ουν πασαν κακιαν και παντα δολον και υποκρισεισ και φθονουσ και πασασ καταλαλιασ
2as newborn babies, long for the pure spiritual milk, that with it you may grow,
2ωσ αρτιγεννητα βρεφη το λογικον αδολον γαλα επιποθησατε ινα εν αυτω αυξηθητε
3if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is gracious.
3ειπερ εγευσασθε οτι χρηστοσ ο κυριοσ
4Come to him, a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God, precious.
4προσ ον προσερχομενοι λιθον ζωντα υπο ανθρωπων μεν αποδεδοκιμασμενον παρα δε θεω εκλεκτον εντιμον
5You 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.
5και αυτοι ωσ λιθοι ζωντεσ οικοδομεισθε οικοσ πνευματικοσ ιερατευμα αγιον ανενεγκαι πνευματικασ θυσιασ ευπροσδεκτουσ τω θεω δια ιησου χριστου
6Because it is contained in Scripture, “Behold, I lay in Zion a chief cornerstone, chosen and precious. He who believes in him will not be disappointed.”
6διοτι περιεχει εν τη γραφη ιδου τιθημι εν σιων λιθον ακρογωνιαιον εκλεκτον εντιμον και ο πιστευων επ αυτω ου μη καταισχυνθη
7For you who believe therefore is the honor, but for those who are disobedient, “The stone which the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone,”
7υμιν ουν η τιμη τοισ πιστευουσιν απειθουσιν δε λιθον ον απεδοκιμασαν οι οικοδομουντεσ ουτοσ εγενηθη εισ κεφαλην γωνιασ
8and, “a stumbling stone and a rock of offense.” For they stumble at the word, being disobedient, to which also they were appointed.
8και λιθοσ προσκομματοσ και πετρα σκανδαλου οι προσκοπτουσιν τω λογω απειθουντεσ εισ ο και ετεθησαν
9But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, that you may proclaim the excellence of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.
9υμεισ δε γενοσ εκλεκτον βασιλειον ιερατευμα εθνοσ αγιον λαοσ εισ περιποιησιν οπωσ τασ αρετασ εξαγγειλητε του εκ σκοτουσ υμασ καλεσαντοσ εισ το θαυμαστον αυτου φωσ
10In the past, you were not a people, but now are God’s people, who had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.
10οι ποτε ου λαοσ νυν δε λαοσ θεου οι ουκ ηλεημενοι νυν δε ελεηθεντεσ
11Beloved, I beg you as foreigners and pilgrims to abstain from fleshly lusts which war against the soul,
11αγαπητοι παρακαλω ωσ παροικουσ και παρεπιδημουσ απεχεσθαι των σαρκικων επιθυμιων αιτινεσ στρατευονται κατα τησ ψυχησ
12having good behavior among the nations, so in that of which they speak against you as evildoers, they may see your good works and glorify God in the day of visitation.
12την αναστροφην υμων εχοντεσ καλην εν τοισ εθνεσιν ινα εν ω καταλαλουσιν υμων ωσ κακοποιων εκ των καλων εργων εποπτευσαντεσ δοξασωσιν τον θεον εν ημερα επισκοπησ
13Therefore subject yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake: whether to the king, as supreme,
13υποταγητε ουν παση ανθρωπινη κτισει δια τον κυριον ειτε βασιλει ωσ υπερεχοντι
14or to governors, as sent by him for vengeance on evildoers and for praise to those who do well.
14ειτε ηγεμοσιν ωσ δι αυτου πεμπομενοισ εισ εκδικησιν κακοποιων επαινον δε αγαθοποιων
15For this is the will of God, that by well-doing you should put to silence the ignorance of foolish men.
15οτι ουτωσ εστιν το θελημα του θεου αγαθοποιουντασ φιμουν την των αφρονων ανθρωπων αγνωσιαν
16Live as free people, yet not using your freedom for a cloak of wickedness, but as bondservants of God.
16ωσ ελευθεροι και μη ωσ επικαλυμμα εχοντεσ τησ κακιασ την ελευθεριαν αλλ ωσ δουλοι θεου
17Honor all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the king.
17παντασ τιμησατε την αδελφοτητα αγαπησατε τον θεον φοβεισθε τον βασιλεα τιματε
18Servants, be in subjection to your masters with all respect, not only to the good and gentle, but also to the wicked.
18οι οικεται υποτασσομενοι εν παντι φοβω τοισ δεσποταισ ου μονον τοισ αγαθοισ και επιεικεσιν αλλα και τοισ σκολιοισ
19For it is commendable if someone endures pain, suffering unjustly, because of conscience toward God.
19τουτο γαρ χαρισ ει δια συνειδησιν θεου υποφερει τισ λυπασ πασχων αδικωσ
20For 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.
20ποιον γαρ κλεοσ ει αμαρτανοντεσ και κολαφιζομενοι υπομενειτε αλλ ει αγαθοποιουντεσ και πασχοντεσ υπομενειτε τουτο χαρισ παρα θεω
21For you were called to this, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving you an example, that you should follow his steps,
21εισ τουτο γαρ εκληθητε οτι και χριστοσ επαθεν υπερ ημων υμιν υπολιμπανων υπογραμμον ινα επακολουθησητε τοισ ιχνεσιν αυτου
22who didn’t sin, “neither was deceit found in his mouth.”
22οσ αμαρτιαν ουκ εποιησεν ουδε ευρεθη δολοσ εν τω στοματι αυτου
23When he was cursed, he didn’t curse back. When he suffered, he didn’t threaten, but committed himself to him who judges righteously.
23οσ λοιδορουμενοσ ουκ αντελοιδορει πασχων ουκ ηπειλει παρεδιδου δε τω κρινοντι δικαιωσ
24He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live to righteousness. You were healed by his wounds.
24οσ τασ αμαρτιασ ημων αυτοσ ανηνεγκεν εν τω σωματι αυτου επι το ξυλον ινα ταισ αμαρτιαισ απογενομενοι τη δικαιοσυνη ζησωμεν ου τω μωλωπι αυτου ιαθητε
25For you were going astray like sheep; but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.
25ητε γαρ ωσ προβατα πλανωμενα αλλ επεστραφητε νυν επι τον ποιμενα και επισκοπον των ψυχων υμων
