- Like newborn infants, long for the pure, spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow into salvation.
- But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God's own people, in order that you may proclaim the mighty acts of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.
- As servants of God, live as free people, yet do not use your freedom as a pretext for evil.
- For to this you have been called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, so that you should follow in his steps.
- He himself bore our sins in his body on the cross, so that, free from sins, we might live for righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed.
I lift up my eyes to the hills—
from where will my help come?
My help comes from the Lord,
who made heaven and earth. One who forgives an affront fosters friendship,
but one who dwells on disputes will alienate a friend.Next verse!With image
