1 Peter 1:16-18

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

¹⁶ for it is written, “You shall be holy, for I am holy.”^(A)

¹⁷ If you invoke as Father the one who judges impartially according to each person’s work, live in fear during the time of your exile.^{(B) 18} You know that you were ransomed from the futile conduct inherited from your ancestors, not with perishable things like silver or gold
