places of darkness.

and envy and all slander.
- 1 Peter 2:1 (ESV)

Deceit

6. Like newborn infants, long for the pure spiritual
milk, that by it you may grow up into salvation— if
indeed you have tasted that the Lord is good.
- vv. 2-3 (ESV)

7. “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for
righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.”
- vv. 2-3 (ESV)

8. As you come to him, a living stone rejected by
men but in the sight of God chosen and precious,
you yourselves like living stones are being built up
as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to
offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through
Jesus Christ.
- vv. 4-5 (ESV)

13. Shine the light of God into
places of darkness.

14. But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a
holy nation, a people for his own possession, that
you may proclaim the excellencies of him who
called you out of darkness into his marvelous
light. Once you were not a people, but now you are
God’s people; once you had not received mercy,
but now you have received mercy.
- vv. 9-10 (ESV)

15. Look for darkness and dare to go
back into it.

16. Beloved, I urge you as sojourners and exiles to abstain
from the passions of the flesh, which wage war against
your soul. Keep your conduct among the Gentiles
honorable, so that when they speak against you as
evildoers, they may see your good deeds and glorify
God on the day of visitation.
- vv. 11-12 (ESV)
