New Testament in Greek (UBS.Ed.26) |
|
|
| 11 | DEAR FRIENDS, I beg you, as aliens in a foreign land, to abstain from the lusts of the flesh which are at war with the soul. | Live as Servants of God 1Pe.2.11-17 | Ἀγαπητοί, παρακαλῶ ὡς παροίκους καὶ παρεπιδήμους ἀπέχεσθαι τῶν σαρκικῶν ἐπιθυμιῶν, αἱτινες στρατεύονται κατὰ τῆς ψυχῆς· |
|
| 12 | Let all your behaviour be such as even pagans can recognize as good, and then, whereas they malign you as criminals now, they will come to see for themselves that you live good lives, and will give glory to God on the day when he comes to hold assize.
| | τὴν ἀναστροφὴν ὑμῶν ἐν τοῖς ἐθνεσιν ἐχοντες καλήν, ἵνα, ἐν ᾧ καταλαλοῦσιν ὑμῶν ὡς κακοποιῶν, ἐκ τῶν καλῶν ἐργων ἐποπτεύοντες δοξάσωσιν τὸν θεὸν ἐν ἡμέρᾳ ἐπισκοπῆς. |
|
| 13 | Submit yourselves to every human institution for the sake of the Lord, whether to the sovereign as supreme, | | Ὑποτάγητε πάσῃ ἄνθρωπίνῃ κτίσει διὰ τὸν κύριον· εἰτε βασιλεῖ ὡς ὑπερέχοντι, |
|
| 14 | or to the governor as his deputy for the punishment of criminals and the commendation of those who do right. | | εἰτε ἡγεμόσιν ὡς δῖ αὐτοῦ πεμπομένοις εἰς ἐκδίκησιν κακοποιῶν ἐπαινον δὲ ἀγαθοποιῶν· |
|
| 15 | For it is the will of God that by your good conduct you should put ignorance and stupidity to silence.
| | ὅτι οὑτως ἐστὶν τὸ θέλημα τοῦ θεοῦ, ἀγαθοποιοῦντας φιμοῦν τὴν τῶν ἀφρόνων ἀνθρώπων ἀγνωσίαν· |
|
| 16 | Live as free men; not however as though your freedom were there to provide a screen for wrongdoing, but as slaves in God's service. | | ὡς ἐλεύθεροι, καὶ μὴ ὡς ἐπικάλυμμα ἐχοντες τῆς κακίας τὴν ἐλευθερίαν, ἀλλ' ὡς θεοῦ δοῦλοι. |
|
| 17 | Give due honour to everyone: love to the brotherhood, reverence to God, honour to the sovereign.
| | πάντας τιμήσατε, τὴν ἀδελφότητα ἀγαπᾶτε, τὸν θεὸν φοβεῖσθε, τὸν βασιλέα τιμᾶτε. |
