⁷For you therefore that believe is the preciousness: but for such as disbelieve, The stone which the builders rejected, The same was made the head of the corner;

⁸and, “a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offense.” Isaiah 8:14 For they stumble at the word, being disobedient, to which also they were appointed.

¹¹Beloved, I beseech you as sojourners and pilgrims, to abstain from fleshly lust, which war against the soul;

¹²having good behavior among the nations, so in that of which they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they see, glorify God in the day of visitation.

¹⁷Honor all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the king.

¹⁸Servants, be in subjection to your masters with all fear; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the wicked.

¹⁸Servants, [be] in subjection to your masters with all fear; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the froward.

¹⁹For it is commendable if someone endures pain, suffering unjustly, because of conscience toward God.

¹⁹ Zama woodin yadda hari no, d'araŋ ga maa doori taabi se kaŋ araŋ mana to r'a bine lasaabu hanno kaŋ araŋ gonda Irikoy do haray sabbay se.

¹⁹For this is acceptable, if for conscience toward God a man endureth griefs, suffering wrongfully.

²⁰For what glory is it if, when you sin, you patiently endure beating? But if, when you do well, you patiently endure suffering, this is commendable with God.

²⁰ Zama man gaa saabuyaŋ go d'araŋ suuru nda kutuboyaŋ araŋ taali teeyaŋ se? Amma d'araŋ goono ga maa taabi ihanno teeyaŋ se ka suuru a ra mo, woodin ga ti yadda hari Irikoy do.

²⁰For what glory is it, if, when ye sin, and are buffeted [for it], ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer [for it], ye shall take it patiently, this is acceptable with God.

²¹For to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving you TR reads “us” instead of “you” an example, that you should follow his steps,

²¹ Zama woodin se no Irikoy n'araŋ ce. Zama Almasihu mo maa taabi araŋ se. A na deedandiyaŋ hari naŋ araŋ se, zama araŋ ma nga ce tankey gana.

²¹For hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, that ye should follow his steps:

²² «Nga kaŋ mana zunubi kulu te, i mana maa gulinci sanni kulu ma fun a meyo ra mo.»

²²who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:

²³Who, when he was cursed, didn’t curse back. When he suffered, didn’t threaten, but committed himself to him who judges righteously;

²³ Nga kaŋ i n'a wow, a mana wow ka bana. Nga kaŋ i n'a taabandi, a mana kaseeti, amma a na nga boŋ talfi Irikoy gaa kaŋ ga cimi ciiti te.

²³who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered threatened not; but committed [himself] to him that judgeth righteously:

²⁴who his own self bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live to righteousness; by whose stripes you were healed.

²⁴ Nga bumbo no k'iri zunubey sambu ka kond'ey nga gaahamo ra waato kaŋ i n'a sarku bundo gaa, zama iri ma bu zunubey se ka funa mo adilitaray se. Araŋ du baani mo Almasihu burbundey do.

²⁴who his own self bare our sins in his body upon the tree, that we, having died unto sins, might live unto righteousness; by whose stripes ye were healed.
