1 Peter 2:1-6 ▼

1 Therefore, having put off all malice and all deceit and hypocrisies and envies and all evil-speakings,

2 like newborn babies, long for the reasonable, unspoiled milk, so that in it you? may grow up into salvation,

3 if you? tasted that the Lord is good.

4 Coming to Him, a living stone, indeed rejected by men but chosen and precious with God,

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

6 Therefore it is contained in Scripture: “Behold, I lay in Zion a stone, a chosen and precious cornerstone; and the one believing on Him shall never be put to shame.”
