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

¹³ Wherefore, gird up the loins of your minds, be sober, and trust perfectly on the grace that is brought unto you by the declaring of Jesus Christ; ¹⁴ as obedient children, not fashioning yourselves unto your old lusts of ignorance: ¹⁵ But as he which called you is holy, even so be ye holy in all manner of conversation, ¹⁶ because it is written, "Be ye holy, for I am holy."

¹⁷ And if so be that ye call on the father, which without respect of person judgeth according to every man's works, see that ye pass the time of your pilgrimage in fear: ¹⁸ Forasmuch as ye know how that ye were not redeemed with corruptible gold and silver from your vain conversation, which ye received by the traditions of the fathers, ¹⁹ but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb undefiled, and without spot, ²⁰ which was ordained before the world was made: but was declared in the last times for your sakes. ²¹ Which, by his means, have believed on God that raised him from death, and glorified him, that your faith and hope might be in God.

²² And forasmuch as ye have purified your souls through the spirit, in obeying the truth for to love brotherly without feigning, see that ye love one another with a pure heart, fervently: ²³ for ye are born anew, not of mortal seed, but of immortal seed, by the word of God which liveth, and lasteth forever. ²⁴ For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man is as the flower of grass; the grass is withered, and the flower falleth away, ²⁵ but the word of the Lord endureth ever. And this is the word which by the gospel was preached among you.
