1 Peter 1:22-25
Summary for 1Pet 1:22-2:3: 1:22–2:3 a Following his call for holiness (1:13-21 b), Peter specifies how believers must live in a loving way with fellow Christians. 1:22 c must show sincere love to each other as brothers and sisters: Literally must have brotherly love.

2:2 d Believers, who have been “born again” (1:23 e), are to be like newborn babies in naturally and regularly craving pure spiritual milk.

Peter quotes this psalm again in 1 Pet 3:10-12 j.
