Matthew 24:48: "But if that bad (kakos 2556 in Greek) slave says in his heart, ‘My lord is-delaying’,"

Matthew 24:49: "and begins to-strike his fellow-slaves, and is-eating and drinking with the (ones) being-drunk —"

Matthew 24:50: "the lord (of) that slave will-come on (a) day which he-does not expect, and at (an) hour which he-does not know."

Matthew 24:51: "And he-will-cut him in-two, and assign (him) his part with the hypocrites (hüpokritōn 5273 in Greek). In-that-place, there-will-be the weeping and the grinding (of) teeth."

1 Peter 2:1: "Having then laid-aside all badness (kakian 2549 in Greek), and all deceit and hypocrisies (hüpokriseis 5272 in Greek) and jealousies, and all slanders —"

(The Greek word for "badness" (kakia 2549 in Greek, noun) used in 1 Peter 2:1 comes from the Greek word for "bad" (kakos 2556 in Greek, adjective) which is used in Matthew 24:48).

(The Greek word for "hypocrites" (hupokrités 5273 in Greek, noun) used in Matthew 24:51 and the Greek word for "hypocrisies" (hupokrisis 5272 in Greek, noun) used in 1 Peter 2:1 both come from the Greek word for "to-pretend" (hupokrinomai 5271 in Greek, verb)).

Matthew 24:1: "And having-departed from the temple, Jesus was-proceeding. And His disciples came-to (Him) to-show Him the buildings (of) the temple."

Matthew 24:2: "But the (One), having-responded, said (to) them, “Do-you-see all these (things)? Truly I-say (to) you — (a) STONE upon (a) STONE by-no-means will-be-left here which will not be-torn-down”."

1 Peter 2:5: "you-yourselves also as living STONES are-being-built (as a) spiritual house for (a) holy priesthood, to-offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable (to) God through Jesus Christ."

Matthew 24:12: "And the love (agapē 26 in Greek) (of) the majority will-grow-cold because-of lawlessness being-multiplied."

1 Peter 2:17: "honor everyone: be-loving (agapate 25 in Greek) the brotherhood, be-fearing God, be-honoring the king;"

(The Greek word for "love" (agapé 26 in Greek, noun) used in Matthew 24:12 comes from the Greek word for "loving" (agapaó 25 in Greek, verb) which is used in 1 Peter 2:17).

Matthew 24:13: "But the (one) HAVING-ENDURED to (the) end — this (one) will-be-saved."

1 Peter 2:20: "For what-kind-of credit (is it) if (while) sinning and being-beaten, YOU-WILL-ENDURE? But if (while) doing-good and suffering YOU-WILL-ENDURE, this (finds) favor with God."
