1 Peter 1:13-21

JuliaSmith(i) 13 Wherefore having girded up the loins of your mind, living abstemiously, hope perfectly upon the grace brought to you in the revelation of Jesus Christ; 14 As children of obedience, not as formerly conforming yourselves to eager desire in your ignorance: 15 But according to the holy one calling you, also should ye yourselves be holy in all turning back; 16 For it has been written, Be ye holy; for I am holy. 17 And if ye call upon the Father, judging without distinction of persons according to the work of each, in fear be occupied in the time of your sojourning: 18 Knowing that not with corruptible things, silver and gold, were ye redeemed from your vain mode of life transmitted from your fathers 19 But with precious blood, as of a lamb blameless and spotless, of Christ: 20 Known truly before the foundation of the world, and made manifest in the last times for you, 21 Who by him believing in God, having raised him from the dead, and having given him glory; that your faith and hope should be in God.
