1 Peter 2
- 1 Putting away therefore all wickedness, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings,
- 2 as newborn babes, long for the spiritual milk which is without guile, that ye may grow thereby unto salvation;
- 3 if ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious:
- 4 unto whom coming, a living stone, rejected indeed of men, but with God elect, precious,
- 5 ye also, as living stones, are built up a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
- 6 Because it is contained in scripture, Behold, I lay in Zion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: And he that believeth on him shall not be put to shame.
- 7 For you therefore that believe is the preciousness: but for such as disbelieve, The stone which the builders rejected, The same was made the head of the corner;
- 8 and, A stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence; for they stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.
- 9 But ye are an elect race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, that ye may show forth the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:
- 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.
- 11 Beloved, I beseech you as sojourners and pilgrims, to abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;
- 12 having your behavior seemly among the Gentiles; that, wherein they speak against you as evil-doers, they may by your good works, which they behold, glorify God in the day of visitation.
- 13 Be subject to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake: whether to the king, as supreme;
- 14 or unto governors, as sent by him for vengeance on evil-doers and for praise to them that do well.
- 15 For so is the will of God, that by well-doing ye should put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:
- 16 as free, and not using your freedom for a cloak of wickedness, but as bondservants of God.
- 17 Honor all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the king.
- 18 Servants, bein subjection to your masters with all fear; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the froward.
- 19 For this is acceptable, if for conscience toward God a man endureth griefs, suffering wrongfully.
- 20 For what glory is it, if, when ye sin, and are buffeted for it, ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye shall take it patiently, this is acceptable with God.
- 21 For hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, that ye should follow his steps:
- 22 who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:
- 23 who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously:
- 24 who his own self bare our sins in his body upon the tree, that we, having died unto sins, might live unto righteousness; by whose stripes ye were healed.
- 25 For ye were going astray like sheep; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.

American Standard Version (asv - 2)
2021-02-18English (en)
The American Standard Version (ASV) of the Holy Bible is in the Public Domain. Please feel free to copy it, give it away, memorize it, publish it, sell it, or whatever God leads you to do with it.
The American Standard Version of 1901 is an Americanization of the English Revised Bible, which is an update of the KJV to less archaic spelling and greater accuracy of translation. It has been called "The Rock of Biblical Honesty." It is the product of the work of over 50 Evangelical Christian scholars.
While the ASV retains many archaic word forms, it is still more understandable to the modern reader than the KJV in many passages. The ASV also forms the basis for several modern English translations, including the World English Bible (http://www.eBible.org/bible/WEB), which is also in the Public Domain. The ASV uses "Jehovah" for Godߴs proper name. While the current consensus is that this Holy Name was more likely pronounced "Yahweh," it is refreshing to see this rendition instead of the overloading of the word "Lord" that the KJV, NASB, and many others do.
Pronouns referring to God are not capitalized in the ASV, as they are not in the NIV and some others, breaking the tradition of the KJV. Since Hebrew has no such thing as tense, and the oldest Greek manuscripts are all upper case, anyway, this tradition was based only on English usage around 1600, anyway. Not capitalizing these pronouns solves some translational problems, such as the coronation psalms, which refer equally well to an earthly king and to God.- Encoding: UTF-8
