1 Peter 1:13-21

Anderson(i) 13 Wherefore, gird up the loins of your mind; be watchful, and hope constantly for the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ: 14 as obedient children, not conforming yourselves to the desires which you formerly had in your ignorance; 15 but as he who has called you is holy, so be you holy in all your behavior: 16 because it is written, Be you holy, for I am holy. 17 And since you call on the Father, who, without respect of persons, judges according to every man's work, pass the time of your sojourning in fear: 18 because you know that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver or gold, from your vain mode of life received by tradition from your fathers, 19 but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without spot and blemish, 20 who was indeed foreordained before the foundation of the world, but manifested in these last times for you, 21 who through him do believe in God who raised him from the dead, and gave him glory, that your faith and hope might be in God.
