"as newborn babies, long for the pure milk of the Word, that you may grow thereby,"
— 1 Peter 2:2, World English Bible
“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; ”
“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, all deceit, hypocrisies, envies, and all evil speaking,
as newborn babies, long for the pure milk of the Word, that you may grow thereby,
if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is gracious:
coming to him, a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God, precious.
You also, as living stones, are built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
