In Context

1 Having put aside, then, all evil, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envyings, and all evil speakings,

2 as new-born babes the word's pure milk desire ye, that in it ye may grow,

3 if so be ye did taste that the Lord is gracious,

4 to whom coming — a living stone — by men, indeed, having been disapproved of, but with God choice, precious,

5 and ye yourselves, as living stones, are built up, a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
