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

13 Wherefore, girding up the loins of your minds, be sober, and hope to the end for the gift to be brought to you by the revelation of Jesus Christ. 14 As obedient children, not conforming yourselves to the desires of your former ignorance, 15 but as he that called you is holy be you also holy in all [your] conduct, 16 because it is written, Be you holy, for I am holy.

17 And if you call on the Father, who without respect of persons judges according to each one's work, spend the time of your life with fear, 18 knowing that you were not redeemed from your vain mode of life received by tradition from your fathers, with destructible things, silver or gold, 19 but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish, and without a spot; 20 who was foreknown before the foundation of the world, but made manifest in these last times for you, 21 who through him believed in God, who raised him from the dead and gave him glory, so that your faith and hope may be in God.

22 Having purified your souls by obeying the truth to unfeigned brotherly love, love one another fervently, from the heart, 23 having been born again, not from destructible seed but from indestructible, through the word of God which lives and endures. 24 For all flesh is like grass, and all its glory like the flower of the grass; the grass has withered, and its flower fell off; 25 but the word of the Lord continues forever. And this is the word preached to you.
