1 Peter 1:13-21 Brace up your minds. Remain sober, and set your hope perfectly on the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ.

NSB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹³ Brace up your minds. Remain sober, and set your hope perfectly on the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ. ¹⁴ Live as children of obedience. Do not fashion yourself according to your former lusts, for you were ignorant at that time. ¹⁵ Be holy in all your conduct, just as the one who called you is holy. ¹⁶ Because it is written: »You shall be holy for I am holy.« ¹⁷ If you call on him as Father, who without respect of persons judges according to each man’s work, pass the time you spend here in reverence. ¹⁸ Know that you were redeemed from your futile way of life inherited from your fathers. [The redemption] was not with corruptible things like silver or gold, ¹⁹ but with precious blood, as of a lamb without spot, even the blood of Christ. ²⁰ Jesus was known before the foundation of the world. He was made known at the end times for your sake. ²¹ Through him you believe in God. God raised him from the dead, and gave him glory so that your faith and hope are in God.
