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

13 Wherefore girding up the loins of your mind, vigilant, wait with assured hope for the grace, which shall be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; 14 as obedient children, not conformed to the former passions of the days of your ignorance: 15 but as he who hath called you is holy, be ye holy also in all your conduct: 16 because it is written, "Be ye holy; for I am holy."

17 And if ye invoke him as Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man's work, conduct yourselves during the time of your sojourning with [jealous] fear: 18 knowing that ye have not been redeemed out of your vain manner of life, derived traditionally from your fathers, by the corruptible things, silver and gold, 19 but by the precious blood of Christ, as the unblemished and spotless lamb: 20 who was indeed predestined before the foundation of the world, but manifested in these last times for us, 21 who by him believe in God, that raised him from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God.

22 Having purified your souls by obedience to the truth through the Spirit unto fraternal affection undissembled, love each other intensely out of a pure heart: 23 born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the quickening word of God, and which abideth for ever. 24 "For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man, as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower of it falleth off:" 25 but the word of the Lord abideth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.
