1 Peter 2:3
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,
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.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
