1 Peter 1:19-21

AUV(i) 19 but with [the] precious blood of Christ, who represents an unblemished lamb, without defect. 20 For Christ was previously known [by God, even] before the world was created, yet was not fully revealed for your benefit until [these] final times. 21 [It is] through Christ, whom God raised from the dead and honored, that you people have become believers in God, so that your faith and hope could rest in God.
