King James 2000

1 Peter 2:1-5 King James 2000 (KJ2000)

1. Therefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speaking,

2. As newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the word, that you may grow thereby:

3. If so be you have tasted that the Lord is gracious.

4. To whom coming, as unto a living stone, rejected indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious,

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