1 Peter 2:1-5

1So get rid of all malice and all deceit and hypocrisy and envy and all lashon ha-ra .

2As newborn babes, long for pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow toward salvation—

3now that you have tasted that the Lord is good.

4As you come to Him, a living stone rejected by men but chosen by God and precious,

5you also, as living stones, are being built up as a spiritual house—a holy priesthood to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Messiah Yeshua.
