1 Peter 2:1-6

GOD'S WORD Translation GW

1 So get rid of every kind of evil, every kind of deception, hypocrisy, jealousy, and every kind of slander.

2 Desire God's pure word as newborn babies desire milk. Then you will grow in your salvation.

3 Certainly you have tasted that the Lord is good!

4 You are coming to Christ, the living stone who was rejected by humans but was chosen as precious by God.

5 You come to him as living stones, a spiritual house that is being built into a holy priesthood. So offer spiritual sacrifices that God accepts through Jesus Christ.

6 That is why Scripture says, "I am laying a chosen and precious cornerstone in Zion, and the person who believes in him will never be ashamed."

5 you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
