1 Peter 2:1-5

1So get rid of all evil and all deceit and hypocrisy and envy and all slander.

2And yearn like newborn infants for pure, spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up to salvation,

3if you have experienced the Lord’s kindness.

4So as you come to him, a living stone rejected by men but chosen and priceless in God’s sight,

5you yourselves, as living stones, are built up as a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood and to offer spiritual sacrifices that are acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
