1 Peter 1:10-16

WNT(i) 10 There were Prophets who earnestly inquired about that salvation, and closely searched into it--even those who spoke beforehand of the grace which was to come to you. 11 They were eager to know the time which the Spirit of Christ within them kept indicating, or the characteristics of that time, when they solemnly made known beforehand the sufferings that were to come upon Christ and the glories which would follow. 12 To them it was revealed that they were serving not themselves but you, when they foretold the very things which have now been openly declared to you by those who, having been taught by the Holy Spirit which had been sent from Heaven, brought you the Good News. Angels long to stoop and look into these things. 13 Therefore gird up your minds and fix your hopes calmly and unfalteringly upon the boon that is soon to be yours, at the re-appearing of Jesus Christ. 14 And, since you delight in obedience, do not shape your lives by the cravings which used to dominate you in the time of your ignorance, 15 but--in imitation of the holy One who has called you--you also must be holy in all your habits of life. 16 Because it stands written, "YOU ARE TO BE HOLY, BECAUSE I AM HOLY."
