Chapter 2 Wherefore, laying aside all
malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies,

00:06.420 --> 00:11.400
and envies, and all evil speakings,
as newborn babes desire the sincere milk

00:11.400 --> 00:17.360
of the word, that ye may grow thereby,
if so be ye have tasted that the Lord is

00:17.360 --> 00:22.340
gracious, to whom coming as unto a living
stone disallowed indeed of men,

00:22.600 --> 00:29.180
but chosen of God and precious,
ye also, as lively stones, are built up a

00:29.180 --> 00:35.560
spiritual house and holy priesthood to
offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable

00:35.560 --> 00:37.400
to God by Jesus Christ.

00:38.360 --> 00:44.280
Wherefore also it is contained in the
scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief

00:44.280 --> 00:50.660
cornerstone, elect, precious, and he that
believeth on him shall not be confounded.

00:51.720 --> 00:56.180
Unto you, therefore, which believe he is
precious, but unto them which be

00:56.180 --> 01:02.100
disobedient, the stone which the builders
disallowed, the same is made the head of

01:02.100 --> 01:08.400
the corner, and a stone of stumbling,
and a rock of offense, even to them which

01:08.400 --> 01:13.800
stumble at the word being disobedient,
whereunto also they were appointed.

01:14.700 --> 01:20.120
But ye are a chosen generation,
a royal priesthood and holy nation,

01:20.120 --> 01:26.620
a peculiar people, that ye should show
forth the praises of him who hath called

01:26.620 --> 01:32.080
you out of darkness into his marvelous
light, which in time past were not a

01:32.080 --> 01:38.840
people, but are now the people of God,
which had not obtained mercy, but now have

01:38.840 --> 01:39.800
obtained mercy.

01:40.860 --> 01:46.760
Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers
and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts,

01:46.760 --> 01:48.640
which war against the soul.

01:48.640 --> 01:54.240
Having your conversation honest among the
Gentiles, that whereas they speak against

01:54.240 --> 01:58.320
you as evildoers, they may by your good
works, which they shall behold,

01:59.120 --> 02:01.460
glorify God in the day of visitation.

02:02.740 --> 02:07.020
Submit yourselves to every ordinance of
man for the Lord's sake, whether it be to

02:07.020 --> 02:12.120
the king as supreme, or unto governors as
unto them that are sent by him for the

02:12.120 --> 02:15.360
punishment of evildoers, and for the
praise of them that do well.

02:15.960 --> 02:20.740
For so is the will of God, that with
well-doing ye may put to silence the

02:20.740 --> 02:22.460
ignorance of foolish men.

02:23.640 --> 02:28.160
As free, and not using your liberty for a
cloak of maliciousness, but as the

02:28.160 --> 02:34.560
servants of God, honor all men,
love the brotherhood, fear God,

02:35.420 --> 02:36.360
honor the king.

02:37.120 --> 02:41.960
Servants, be subject to your masters with
all fear, not only to the good and gentle,

02:42.060 --> 02:45.140
but also to the froward, for this is
thankworthy.

02:45.140 --> 02:49.780
If a man for conscience toward God endure
grief, suffering wrongfully.

02:50.880 --> 02:55.520
For what glory is it if, when ye be
buffeted for your faults, ye shall take it

02:55.520 --> 02:55.900
patiently?

02:56.640 --> 03:02.560
But if, when ye do well, and suffer for
it, ye take it patiently, this is

03:02.560 --> 03:03.560
acceptable with God.

03:04.180 --> 03:09.080
For even hereunto were ye called,
because Christ also suffered for us,

03:09.900 --> 03:13.740
leaving us an example, that ye should
follow his steps.

03:13.740 --> 03:18.320
Who did no sin, neither was guile found in
his mouth.

03:19.040 --> 03:21.860
Who, when he was reviled, reviled not
again.

03:22.460 --> 03:28.220
When he suffered, he threatened not,
but committed himself to him that judgeth

03:28.220 --> 03:28.800
righteously.

03:29.720 --> 03:34.700
Who his own self bare our sins,
in his own body on the tree, that we,

03:35.240 --> 03:41.680
being dead to sins, should live unto
righteousness, by whose stripes ye were

03:41.680 --> 03:42.140
healed.

03:42.840 --> 03:48.460
For ye were a sheep going astray,
but are now returned unto the shepherd and

03:48.460 --> 03:50.060
bishop of your souls.
