1 Peter 1:13-25 - Be Holy In All Your Conduct
13 Brace up your minds. Remain sober, and set your hope perfectly on the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ. 14 Live as children of obedience. Do not fashion yourself according to your former lusts, for you were ignorant at that time. 15 Be holy in all your conduct, just as the one who called you is holy. 16 Because it is written: You shall be holy for I am holy.
17 If you call on him as Father, who without respect of persons judges according to each man's work, pass the time you spend here in reverence. 18 Know that you were redeemed from your futile way of life inherited from your fathers. [The redemption] was not with corruptible things like silver or gold, 19 but with precious blood, as of a lamb without spot, even the blood of Christ. 20 Jesus was known before the foundation of the world. He was made known at the end times for your sake. 21 Through him you believe in God. God raised him from the dead, and gave him glory so that your faith and hope are in God.
22 You have purified your hearts by obeying the truth. You have genuine affection for the brothers and sisters. So always love one another intensely (extremely) (deeply) from the heart. 23 You have been given a new birth, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, through the word of God, which lives and endures. 24 All people are like grass. All their glory is like the blossom of a flower. The grass withers and the flower drops off. 25 But the word of our God abides forever. This is the word of good tidings that was preached to you.
