"He himself bore our sins in his body on the cross."

"By his wounds you have been healed."

"You were going astray like sheep, but have now returned to the Shepherd."

"Rid yourselves of all malice and all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and slander of every kind."

"Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation."

"Come to him, the living Stone—rejected by humans but chosen by God."

"You also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house."

"But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God's special possession."

"Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ."

"In all this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer."

"These have come so that the proven genuineness of your faith may result in praise, glory and honor."

"Though you have not seen him, you love him."

"Salvation is found in no one else."

"It is written: Be holy, because I am holy."

"Since Christ suffered in his body, arm yourselves also with the same attitude."

"Therefore, prepare your minds for action; be self-controlled."

"So that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ."

"The God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you."

"To him be the power for ever and ever. Amen."

"Therefore each of you must put off falsehood and speak truthfully."

"Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths."

"Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, and every form of malice."

"Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you."

"Follow the way of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us."

"Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord."

"Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church."

"Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right."

"Fathers, do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord."

"Slaves, obey your earthly masters with respect and fear, and with sincerity of heart."

"Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters."
