1 Peter 2:1-6

Lexham English Bible LEB

1 Therefore, ridding yourselves of all malice and all deceit and hypocrisy and envy and all slander,

2 like newborn infants long for the unadulterated spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up to salvation,

3 if you have tasted that the Lord [is] kind,

4 to whom you are drawing near, a living stone rejected by men but chosen [and] precious in the sight of God.

5 And [you] yourselves, as living stones, are being built up [as] a spiritual house for a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

6 For it stands in scripture, "Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone, a chosen [and] precious cornerstone, and the one who believes in him will never be put to shame."<note: A quotation from Isa 28:16>
