1 Rid yourselves therefore of all ill-will and all deceitfulness, of insincerity and envy, and of all evil speaking. 2 Thirst, like newly-born infants, for pure milk for the soul, that by it you may grow up to salvation; 3 if you have had any experience of the goodness of the Lord. 4 Come to Him, the ever-living Stone, rejected indeed by men as worthless, but in God's esteem chosen and held in honour. 5 And be yourselves also like living stones that are being built up into a spiritual house, to become a holy priesthood to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. 1 Peter 2:1-5, Weymouth New Testament.
