1 Peter 1:13-21

Sawyer(i) 13 (1:3) Wherefore, girding up the loins of your minds, be sober, and hope to the end for the gift to be brought to you by the revelation of Jesus Christ. 14 As obedient children, not conforming yourselves to the desires of your former ignorance, 15 but as he that called you is holy be you also holy in all [your] conduct, 16 because it is written, Be you holy, for I am holy. 17 And if you call on the Father, who without respect of persons judges according to each one's work, spend the time of your life with fear, 18 knowing that you were not redeemed from your vain mode of life received by tradition from your fathers, with destructible things, silver or gold, 19 but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish, and without a spot; 20 who was foreknown before the foundation of the world, but made manifest in these last times for you, 21 who through him believed in God, who raised him from the dead and gave him glory, so that your faith and hope may be in God.
