| 1st-Peter 2:6 | Wherefore it is said in the scripture: Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious. And he that shall believe in him, shall not be confounded. | For it is contained in Scripture, "See, I am placing on Mount Zion a Cornerstone, chosen, and held in honour, and he whose faith rests on Him shall never have reason to feel ashamed." | Because it is said in the Writings, See, I am placing a keystone in Zion, of great and special value; and the man who has faith in him will not be put to shame. |
| 1st-Peter 2:7 | To you therefore that believe, he is honour: but to them that believe not, the stone which the builders rejected, the same is made the head of the corner: | To you believers, therefore, that honour belongs; but for unbelievers "A Stone which the builders rejected has been made the Cornerstone," | And the value is for you who have faith; but it is said for those without faith, The very stone which the builders put on one side, was made the chief stone of the building; |
| 1st-Peter 2:8 | And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of scandal, to them who stumble at the word, neither do believe, whereunto also they are set. | and "a Stone for the foot to strike against, and a Rock to stumble over."

| 1st-Peter 2:14 | Or to governors as sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of the good: | or to provincial Governors as sent by him for the punishment of evil-doers and the encouragement of those who do what is right. | And those of the rulers who are sent by him for the punishment of evil-doers and for the praise of those who do well. |

| 1st-Peter 2:19 | For this is thankworthy, if for conscience towards God, a man endure sorrows, suffering wrongfully. | For it is an acceptable thing with God, if, from a sense of duty to Him, a man patiently submits to wrong, when treated unjustly. | For it is a sign of grace if a man, desiring to do right in the eyes of God, undergoes pain as punishment for something which he has not done. |
| 1st-Peter 2:20 | For what glory is it, if committing sin, and being buffeted for it, you endure? But if doing well you suffer patiently; this is thankworthy before God. | If you do wrong and receive a blow for it, what credit is there in your bearing it patiently? But if when you do right and suffer for it you bear it patiently, this is an acceptable thing with God. | What credit is it if, when you have done evil, you take your punishment quietly? but if you are given punishment for doing right, and take it quietly, this is pleasing to God. |
| 1st-Peter 2:21 | For unto this are you called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving you an example that you should follow his steps. | And it is to this you were called; because Christ also suffered on your behalf, leaving you an example so that you should follow in His steps. | This is God's purpose for you: because Jesus himself underwent punishment for you, giving you an example, so that you might go in his footsteps: |

| 1st-Peter 2:23 | Who, when he was reviled, did not revile: when he suffered, he threatened not: but delivered himself to him that judged him unjustly. | When He was reviled, He did not answer with reviling; when He suffered He uttered no threats, but left His wrongs in the hands of the righteous Judge. | To sharp words he gave no sharp answer; when he was undergoing pain, no angry word came from his lips; but he put himself into the hands of the judge of righteousness: |
| 1st-Peter 2:24 | Who his own self bore our sins in his body upon the tree: that we, being dead to sins, should live to justice: by whose stripes you were healed. | The burden of our sins He Himself carried in His own body to the Cross and bore it there, so that we, having died so far as our sins are concerned, may live righteous lives. By His wounds yours have been healed. | He took our sins on himself, giving his body to be nailed on the tree, so that we, being dead to sin, might have a new life in righteousness, and by his wounds we have been made well. |
| 1st-Peter 2:25 | For you were as sheep going astray; but you are now converted to the shepherd and bishop of your souls. | For you were straying like lost sheep, but now you have come back to the Shepherd and Protector of your souls. | Because, like sheep, you had gone out of the way; but now you have come back to him who keeps watch over your souls. |
