1 Peter 1:18-21

NSB(i) 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.
