1 Therefore put away all wickedness, deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and all evil speaking.
2 As newborn babies, desire the pure milk of the word, that by it you may grow,
3 if it is true that you have experienced that the Lord is good.
4 Coming to Him as to a living stone who is rejected by men, but chosen by God and precious,
5 you also, as living stones, are being built up into a spiritual house as a holy priesthood to offer up spiritual sacrifices that are acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
