- Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation.
- But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.
- Live as free people, but do not use your freedom as a cover-up for evil; live as God’s slaves.
- To this you were called, because Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in his steps.
- “He himself bore our sins” in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; “by his wounds you have been healed.”
God is not unjust; he will not forget your work and the love you have shown him as you have helped his people and continue to help them. If you fully obey the Lord your God and carefully follow all his commands I give you today, the Lord your God will set you high above all the nations on earth.Next verse!With image
