- 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.”
When he comes, he will prove the world to be in the wrong about sin and righteousness and judgment. If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.Next verse!With image
