1 Peter 1:13-25 - Be Holy In All Your Conduct

13 Therefore having girded up the loins of your minds, being perfectly sober, hope unto the grace which is conferred on you in the revelation of Jesus Christ. 14 As children of obedience, not being fashioned after your former lusts in ignorance: 15 but according to the Holy One who has called you. Be ye also holy in all your deportment; 16 because it has been written, Ye shall be holy; because I am holy.

17 And if you call upon the Father, the One judging without respect of persons according to the work of each, pass the time of your sojourn with fear, 18 knowing that you have been redeemed from your depraved character transmitted from your ancestors, not by corruptible things, silver or gold, 19 but by the precious blood of Christ, as a lamb without blemish and spotless: 20 foreknown indeed before the foundation of the world, but having been made manifest at the last of the times for the sake of you, 21 who through him are faithful toward God, who raised him from the dead, and gave him glory; so that your faith and hope are toward God.

22 Having purified your souls through obedience of the truth unto unhypocritical, brotherly love, fervently from the heart love one another with divine love: 23 having been begotten again, not of corruptible seed, but incorruptible, through the word of God, who lives and abides. 24 Therefore all flesh is as grass, and all its glory as the flower of grass: the grass is withered, and the flower fell off; 25 but the word of the Lord abides forever. And this is the word which has been preached unto you.
