1 Peter 2
New King James Version
Our Inheritance Through Christ’s Blood
2 Therefore, (A)laying aside all malice, all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and all evil speaking, 2 (B)as newborn babes, desire the pure (C)milk of the word, that you may grow [a]thereby, 3 if indeed you have (D)tasted that the Lord is gracious.
The Chosen Stone and His Chosen People(E)
4 Coming to Him as to a living stone, (F)rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God and precious, 5 you also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. 6 Therefore it is also contained in the Scripture,
(G)“Behold, I lay in Zion
A chief cornerstone, elect, precious,
And he who believes on Him will by no means be put to shame.”
7 Therefore, to you who believe, He is precious; but to those who [b]are disobedient,
(H)“The stone which the builders rejected
Has become the chief cornerstone,”
8 and
(I)“A stone of stumbling
And a rock of offense.”
(J)They stumble, being disobedient to the word, (K)to which they also were appointed.
9 But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of (L)darkness into His marvelous light; 10 (M)who once were not a people but are now the people of God, who had not obtained mercy but now have obtained mercy.
Living Before the World
11 Beloved, I beg you as sojourners and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts (N)which war against the soul, 12 (O)having your conduct honorable among the Gentiles, that when they speak against you as evildoers, (P)they may, by your good works which they observe, glorify God in the day of visitation.
Submission to Government(Q)
13 (R)Therefore submit yourselves to every [c]ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake, whether to the king as supreme, 14 or to governors, as to those who are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers and for the praise of those who do good. 15 For this is the will of God, that by doing good you may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men— 16 (S)as free, yet not (T)using liberty as a cloak for [d]vice, but as bondservants of God. 17 Honor all people. Love the brotherhood. Fear (U)God. Honor the king.
Submission to Masters(V)
18 (W)Servants, be submissive to your masters with all fear, not only to the good and gentle, but also to the harsh. 19 For this is (X)commendable, if because of conscience toward God one endures grief, suffering wrongfully. 20 For (Y)what credit is it if, when you are beaten for your faults, you take it patiently? But when you do good and suffer, if you take it patiently, this is commendable before God. 21 For (Z)to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for [e]us, (AA)leaving [f]us an example, that you should follow His steps:
22 “Who(AB) committed no sin,
Nor was deceit found in His mouth”;
23 (AC)who, when He was reviled, did not revile in return; when He suffered, He did not threaten, but (AD)committed Himself to Him who judges righteously; 24 (AE)who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, (AF)that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness—(AG)by whose [g]stripes you were healed. 25 For (AH)you were like sheep going astray, but have now returned (AI)to the Shepherd and [h]Overseer of your souls.

Ang Bagong Tipan: Filipino Standard Version
Ang Batong Buháy at ang Bansang Banal
2 Kaya't talikuran na ninyo ang lahat ng kasamaan, ang lahat ng pandaraya, pagkukunwari, pagkainggit, at paninirang-puri. 2 Gaya ng mga sanggol, manabik kayo sa dalisay na gatas espirituwal, upang sa pamamagitan nito ay lumago kayo sa inyong karanasan ng kaligtasan, 3 yamang naranasan (A) na ninyo ang kabutihan ng Panginoon. 4 Sa paglapit ninyo sa kanya, ang batong buháy na itinakwil ng mga tao ngunit pinili ng Diyos at mahalaga sa kanyang paningin, 5 kayo mismo, tulad ng mga batong buháy, ay itinatayo bilang bahagi ng isang templong espirituwal upang maging mga paring itinalaga para sa Diyos. Kaya't mag-alay kayo ng mga espirituwal na handog na kalugud-lugod sa Diyos sa pamamagitan ni Jesu-Cristo. 6 Sapagkat (B) ito ang isinasaad ng kasulatan:
“Masdan ninyo, naglalagay ako sa Zion ng isang batong panulok, pinili at mahalaga;
hindi mapapahiya ang sinumang sumasampalataya sa kanya.”
7 Ngayon, (C) sa inyong mga sumasampalataya, siya'y mahalaga; subalit sa mga hindi sumasampalataya,
“Ang batong itinakwil ng mga tagapagtayo
ang siyang naging batong panulok,”
8 at, (D)
“Isang batong katitisuran ng mga tao
at dahilan ng kanilang pagkadapa.”
Sila'y natisod dahil sa pagsuway nila sa salita, at iyon din naman ang kanilang kahihinatnan.
9 Ngunit (E) kayo'y isang lahing pinili, mga paring naglilingkod sa hari, isang bansang banal, sambayanang pag-aari ng Diyos. Hinirang kayo upang inyong ipahayag ang mga kahanga-hangang gawa ng Diyos na tumawag sa inyo mula sa kadiliman at nagdala sa inyo sa kanyang kahanga-hangang liwanag. 10 Noon ay (F) hindi kayo sambayanan, ngunit ngayo'y sambayanan kayo ng Diyos. Noon ay pinagkaitan kayo ng habag, ngunit ngayo'y kinahahabagan kayo.
Mamuhay Bilang mga Lingkod ng Diyos
11 Mga minamahal, ipinapakiusap ko sa inyo bilang mga dayuhan at pansamantalang naninirahan sa daigdig na ito, iwasan ninyo ang makamundong pagnanasa na nakikipaglaban sa inyong kaluluwa. 12 Mamuhay kayo nang kagalang-galang sa gitna ng mga di-sumasampalataya upang kahit na pinaparatangan nila kayo ng masama, makikita nila ang inyong mabubuting gawa at luluwalhatiin nila ang Diyos sa araw ng kanyang paghuhukom. 13 Alang-alang sa Panginoon, pasakop kayo sa bawat pamahalaan ng tao, maging sa haring pinakamataas, 14 o sa mga gobernador na inatasan niya upang parusahan ang mga gumagawa ng masama at parangalan ang mga gumagawa ng mabuti. 15 Sapagkat kalooban ng Diyos na sa paggawa ninyo ng mabuti ay inyong mapatahimik ang mga hangal dahil sa kanilang kamangmangan. 16 Mamuhay kayong tulad ng mga taong malaya, ngunit huwag ninyong gamitin ang kalayaang ito upang bigyang-katwiran ang pantakip sa paggawa ng masama, sa halip, mamuhay kayo bilang mga alipin ng Diyos. 17 Igalang ninyo ang lahat ng tao at mahalin ninyo ang mga kapatid kay Cristo. Matakot kayo sa Diyos. Igalang ninyo ang hari.
Ang Halimbawa ng Pagdurusa ni Cristo
18 Mga alipin, buong galang kayong magpasakop sa inyong mga panginoon; hindi lamang sa mabubuti at mahihinahon, kundi maging sa malulupit. 19 Sapagkat kapuri-puri, na dahil sa pagkakilala ninyo sa Diyos, ay magtiis kayo ng parusa kahit walang kasalanan. 20 Ano'ng pakinabang kung kayo'y parusahan dahil sa paggawa ng masama? Ngunit kalulugdan kayo ng Diyos kung kayo'y magtiis ng dusa dahil sa paggawa ng mabuti. 21 Ito ang dahilan kung bakit kayo tinawag, sapagkat si Cristo ay nagdusa para sa inyo, at nag-iwan siya ng halimbawa upang inyong sundan.
22 “Wala (G) siyang ginawang anumang kasalanan,
at sa bibig niya'y walang kasinungalingang natagpuan.”
23 Nang (H) siya'y alipustain, hindi siya gumanti; nang siya'y nagdusa, hindi siya nagbanta, sa halip, nagtiwala siya sa Diyos na Makatarungang humatol. 24 Sa (I) kanyang pagkamatay sa krus,[a] pinasan niya ang bigat ng ating mga kasalanan upang tayo'y mamatay sa kasalanan at mamuhay sa katuwiran. Sa pamamagitan ng kanyang mga sugat, kayo ay gumaling. 25 Sapagkat kayo'y tulad ng mga tupang naligaw ng landas, ngunit ngayon ay nagbalik na kayo sa kanya, siya na Pastol at Tagapag-alaga ng inyong mga kaluluwa.

Disciples’ Literal New Testament
Yearn For His Word So That You May Grow
2 Having then laid-aside all badness[a], and all deceit and hypocrisies and jealousies, and all slanders— 2 yearn like newborn babies for the deceitless[b] milk of-the-Word[c] in order that by it you may grow in[d] [your] salvation, 3 if [e] you tasted that the Lord is good—
For You Are Being Built Upon The Living Cornerstone As a Holy Priesthood
4 ... coming to Whom as the living Stone having been rejected by people, but chosen, precious with God, 5 you yourselves also as living stones are being built[f] as a spiritual house for a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. 6 Because it is contained in Scripture: “Behold, I am laying a Stone in Zion— a chosen, precious Cornerstone. And the one putting-faith upon Him will never be put-to-shame” [Isa 28:16]. 7 The precious-value then is for you, the ones believing. But for ones not-believing: “The Stone which the ones building rejected, this became the head[g] of the corner” [Ps 118:22] 8 and “a Stone of stumbling and a Rock of [h] falling” [Isa 8:14]— who stumble while[i] disobeying the word, to which indeed they were appointed[j].
And You Are Chosen By God To Report His Virtues To The World
9 And you are a chosen family[k], a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for His possession, so that you may report the virtues[l] of the One having called you out of darkness into His marvelous light— 10 who once were not a people, but now are the people of God; the ones not having received-mercy, but now having received-mercy.
Beloved, Keep Your Conduct Praiseworthy In The World So That God May Be Glorified
11 Beloved, I exhort you as foreigners[m] and pilgrims to be abstaining from fleshly desires which wage-war against the soul, 12 holding your conduct good[n] among the Gentiles in order that in what they are speaking-against you as evil-doers[o], they may by observing your good works glorify God on the day of visitation[p].
Be Subject To Human Institutions For The Lord’s Sake
13 Be subject to every human institution for the Lord’s sake— whether to a king as being superior, 14 or to governors as being sent by him[q] for the punishment of evil-doers and praise of good-doers. 15 Because thus is the will of God, that while doing-good you may be silencing the ignorance of foolish people.
Honor Everyone
16 As[r] free ones, and not having the freedom as a covering of evilness, but as slaves of God, 17 honor everyone: be loving the brotherhood[s], be fearing God, be honoring the king;
Be Subject To Your Masters, Whether Good Or Bad, Following Christ’s Example
18 ... servants, being subject to your masters with all fear[t], not only to the good and kind ones, but also to the crooked[u] ones. 19 For this finds favor— if for the sake of a consciousness[v] of God one bears-up[w] while suffering sorrows unjustly. 20 For what-kind-of credit[x] is it if while sinning and being beaten, you will endure? But if while doing-good and suffering you will endure, this finds favor with God. 21 For you were called to this[y]. Because Christ also suffered for you, leaving-behind a pattern for you in order that you might follow-after His footsteps—
Christ Suffered Unjustly, Entrusting Himself To God
22 ... Who “did not commit sin, nor was deceit found in His mouth” [Isa 53:9]; 23 Who while being reviled, was not reviling-in-return; while suffering, was not threatening, but was committing Himself [z] to the One judging righteously; 24 Who Himself bore our sins in His body on the cross in order that we, having died[aa] to sins, might live for righteousness; by Whose bruise you were healed. 25 For you were going-astray like sheep, but now you returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.
