Be Holy In All Your Conduct

¹⁷ And if ye invoke as Father him who, without regard of persons, judges according to the work of each, pass your time of sojourn in fear, ¹⁸ knowing that ye have been redeemed, not by corruptible things, as silver or gold, from your vain conversation handed down from your fathers, ¹⁹ but by precious blood, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot, the blood of Christ,

From the Father

Way of Life
