1 Peter 1:18

Be Holy In All Your Conduct

¹⁷ And if you give the name of Father to him who, judging every man by his acts, has no respect for a man's position, then go in fear while you are on this earth: ¹⁸ Being conscious that you have been made free from that foolish way of life which was your heritage from your fathers, not through a payment of things like silver or gold which come to destruction, ¹⁹ But through holy blood, like that of a clean and unmarked lamb, even the blood of Christ:

From the Father

Way of Life

Satan
