  1:14 As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves acc to the former lusts in ynorance:

  1:15 But as he ion;

  1:16 Because it is en, Be ye holy; for I am holy.

  1:17 And if ye call oher, ime of your s here in fear:

  1:23 Being bain, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the h for ever.

  1:24 For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the floh away:

  1:25 But the o you.

  2:1 Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, all evil speakings,

  2:2 As nehereby:

  2:3 If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious.

  2:4 Tochosen of God, and precious,

  2:5 Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.

  2:13 Submit yourselves to every ordinanan for the Lord"s sake: he king, as supreme;

  2:14 Or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well.

  2:15 For so is the he ignorance of foolish men:

  2:16 As free, and not using your liberty for a cloke of maliciousness, but as the servants of God.

  2:17 Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king.

  2:18 Servants, be subject to your masters he froward.
