1 Peter 2:2-4

Expanded Bible

² As newborn babies want milk, you should want the ·pure [sincere; unadulterated] and ·simple [or spiritual] ·teaching [^Lmilk; ^Cprobably referring to the word of God; see 1:23–25]. By it you can ·mature [grow; reach maturity] in your salvation, ³ because you have already ·examined and seen [^Ltasted] how good the Lord is [Ps. 34:8].

⁴ Come to the Lord Jesus, the ·“stone” that lives [^La living stone; ^CJesus is the most important stone in the spiritual temple described in v. 5]. ·The people of the world did not want this stone, but he was the stone God chose, and he was precious [^L…rejected by people, but chosen and precious/valuable to God].
