American Standard Version
"as newborn babes, long for the spiritual milk which is without guile, that ye may grow thereby unto salvation; "
— 1 Peter 2:2, American Standard Version
“As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:”
“as newborn babies, long for the pure milk of the Word, that you may grow thereby,”
“And yearn like newborn infants for pure, spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up to salvation,”
“As newborn babes, desire the rational milk without guile, that thereby you may grow unto salvation:”
“Be full of desire for the true milk of the word, as babies at their mothers' breasts, so that you may go on to salvation;”
“As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:”
Putting away therefore all wickedness, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings,
as newborn babes, long for the spiritual milk which is without guile, that ye may grow thereby unto salvation;
if ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious:
unto whom coming, a living stone, rejected indeed of men, but with God elect, precious,
ye also, as living stones, are built up a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
