Is it Live or is it Memorex?

For it is God’s will that by doing good you should silence the ignorant talk of foolish people. Live as free people, but do not use your freedom as a cover-up for evil; live as God’s slaves. — 1 Peter 2:15-16

(1Pet 2:15 [NET])
For God wants you to silence the ignorance of foolish people by doing good.

(1Pet 2:16 [NET])
Live as free people, not using your freedom as a pretext for evil, but as God’s slaves.

For G3754 so G3779 is G2076 the will G2307 of God G2316, that with well doing G15 ye may put to silence G5392 the ignorance G56 of foolish G878 men G444:

(1Pet 2:16 [KJV])
As G5613 free G1658, and G2532 not G3361 using G2192 [your] liberty G1657 for G5613 a cloke G1942 of maliciousness G2549, but G235 as G5613 the servants G1401 of God G2316.

Many different ways to read these verses and I included the Greek numbers so those of you who can use the numbers to look in your concordances to get a deeper understanding(more Meat). 

Lets take the word will it breaks down to Purpose,Determination. so we do God's Purpose, knowing God's determination His desrie to have us be followers of His will. then we see That you may put to Silence- That one is easy To Muzzle someone easy word picture for us. 

Ignorance - Not having knowledge,not the knowledge of God's will

Foolish - Mindless,stupid,egotistic,unbelieving People whom don't know God and don't have the knowledge of Jesus and in their Hearts their ego's run their lives. 

And lastly we end up with Freedom - simply stated Liberty, the freedom to make Moral choices based on God's knowledge that He gives us in His Word and that by doing God's purpose we become Free ,not slaves to this world's ways or problems. 

Take care and be blessed In Jesus Name Amen Pax CH
