1 Peter 1:13-21 So then brace up your minds, be steady in spirit, and fix your hope firmly in the grace that is coming to you, at the revelation of Jesus Christ.

MNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹³ So then brace up your minds, be steady in spirit, and fix your hope firmly in the grace that is coming to you, at the revelation of Jesus Christ. ¹⁴ Like obedient children, do not fashion yourselves according to the former passions of your days of ignorance, ¹⁵ but become yourselves holy in your whole manner of living, as He who has called you is holy, ¹⁶ as the Scripture says, You shall be holy, because I am holy. ¹⁷ And since you call upon him as Father, who impartially judges each one according to his deeds, pass the time of your sojourning here in reverence. ¹⁸ For you well know that not with perishable things, with silver or gold, were you redeemed from the emptiness of your manner of life, received by tradition from your ancestors; ¹⁹ but with precious blood, like that of a lamb without spot or blemish, even the blood of Christ. ²⁰ He was indeed foreknown before the foundation of the world, but was manifested at the end of the times for your sake. ²¹ Through him you believe in God who raised him from the dead and gave him glory; so that your faith and hope are now in God.
