"Like newborn infants, desire the milk of reasonableness without guile, so that by this you may increase unto salvation, "
— 1 Peter 2:2, Catholic Public Domain Version
“As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:”
“as newborn babes, long for the spiritual milk which is without guile, that ye may grow thereby unto salvation; ”
“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:”
Therefore, set aside all malice and all deceitfulness, as well as falseness and envy and every detraction.
Like newborn infants, desire the milk of reasonableness without guile, so that by this you may increase unto salvation,
if it is true that you have tasted that the Lord is sweet.
And approaching him as if he were a living stone, rejected by men, certainly, but elect and honored by God,
be also yourselves like living stones, built upon him, a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, so as to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
