8 and, "A stone of stumbling, and a rock of offense." For they stumble at the word, being disobedient, whereunto also they were appointed.
8
and a stone of stumbling and a rock of offence -- who are stumbling at the word, being unbelieving, -- to which also they were set;

11 Beloved, I beg you as sojourners and pilgrims, to abstain from fleshly lust, which war against the soul;
11
Beloved, I call upon [you], as strangers and sojourners, to keep from the fleshly desires, that war against the soul,
12 having good behavior among the nations, so in that which they speak against you as evil-doers, they may by your good works, which they see, glorify God in the day of visitation.

13 Therefore subject yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake: whether to the king, as supreme;
13
Be subject, then, to every human creation, because of the Lord, whether to a king, as the highest,
14 or to governors, as sent by him for vengeance on evil-doers and for praise to those who do well.
14
whether to governors, as to those sent through him, for punishment, indeed, of evil-doers, and a praise of those doing good;
15 For so is the will of God, that by well-doing you should put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:

20
for what renown [is it], if sinning and being buffeted, ye do endure [it]? but if, doing good and suffering [for it], ye do endure, this [is] gracious with God,
21 For to this were you called, because Messiah also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that you should follow his steps,
21
