First Letter of Peter

Putting away therefore all wickedness, all deceit, hypocrisies, envies, and all evil speaking,

as newborn babes, long for the pure milk of the Word, that you may grow thereby,

if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is gracious:

coming to him, a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God, precious.

You also, as living stones, are built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
