2
As new-born babes, desire the pure milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:
3
If indeed ye have tasted that the Lord [is] gracious.
4
To whom coming [as to] a living stone, disallowed indeed by men, but chosen by God, [and] precious,
5
Ye also, as living stones, are built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.
6
Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner-stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded.
