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

¹³ Therefore girding up the loins of your mind, being sober, perfectly hope for the grace being brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ, ¹⁴ as obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance, ¹⁵ but according to the Holy One who has called you, you also become holy in all conduct, ¹⁶ because it is written, "Be holy, for I am holy."

¹⁷ And if you call on the Father, who without respect of persons judges according to the work of each one, pass the time of your earthly residence in fear, ¹⁸ knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, silver or gold, from your vain manner of life handed down from your fathers, ¹⁹ but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot; ²⁰ indeed having been foreknown before the foundation of the world, but revealed in the last times for you, ²¹ those believing in God through Him, He who raised Him up from the dead and gave Him glory, so that your faith and hope might be in God.

²² Purifying your souls in the obedience of the truth through the Spirit to unfeigned love of the brothers, love one another fervently out of a pure heart, ²³ having been born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, through the living Word of God, and abiding forever. ²⁴ For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of men as the flower of the grass. The grass withers, and its flower falls out, ²⁵ but the Word of the Lord endures forever. And this is the Word preached as gospel to you.
