1So put away all malice and all guile and insincerity and envy and all slander.
2Like newborn babes, long for the pure spiritual milk, that by it you may grow up to salvation;
3 that you may declare the wonderful deeds of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.
10 whether it be to the emperor as supreme,
14or to governors as sent by him to punish those who do wrong and to praise those who do right.
15For it is God's will that by doing right you should put to silence the ignorance of foolish men.
16Live as free men, yet without using your freedom as a pretext for evil; but live as servants of God.
17Honor all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the emperor.
18Servants, be submissive to your masters with all respect, not only to the kind and gentle but also to the overbearing.
19For one is approved if, mindful of God, he endures pain while suffering unjustly.
20For what credit is it, if when you do wrong and are beaten for it you take it patiently? But if when you do right and suffer for it you take it patiently, you have God's approval.
21For to this you have been called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in his steps.
22 that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed.
25For you were straying like sheep, but have now returned to the Shepherd and Guardian of your souls.
