In context
AI-assisted, sourced1 Peter 2:11-17Honest conduct among the Gentiles
About 1 Peter 2The readers are to lay aside malice and "desire the sincere milk of the word," coming to Christ, "a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God," and being built up "a spiritual house, an holy priesthood." They are "a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people," called "out of darkness into his marvellous light," so they are to live honestly among the Gentiles and submit "to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake." Servants who suffer wrongfully follow Christ, who left "an example, that ye should follow his steps" and "his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree." 1 Peter 2:11 Peter 2:21 Peter 2:41 Peter 2:51 Peter 2:91 Peter 2:121 Peter 2:131 Peter 2:181 Peter 2:191 Peter 2:211 Peter 2:24
