1 Peter 2:3

Read in context

1 Peter 2:1–5 · Berean Standard Bible

1 Rid yourselves, therefore, of all malice, deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and slander.

2 Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation,

3 now that you have tasted that the Lord is good.

4 As you come to Him, the living stone, rejected by men but chosen and precious in God’s sight,

5 you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
