1 Peter 1:14-19

New American Standard Bible

¹⁴ As ^[a](A)obedient children, do not ^[b](B)be conformed to the former lusts which were yours in your ^(C)ignorance, ¹⁵ but ^[c](D)like the Holy One who called you, ^[d](E)be holy yourselves also ^(F)in all your behavior; ¹⁶ because it is written: “^(G)You shall be holy, for I am holy.”

¹⁷ If you ^(H)address as Father the One who ^(I)impartially ^(J)judges according to each one’s work, conduct yourselves ^(K)in fear during the time of your ^(L)stay on earth; ¹⁸ knowing that you were not ^[e](M)redeemed with perishable things like silver or gold from your ^(N)futile way of life inherited from your forefathers, ¹⁹ but with precious ^(O)blood, as of a ^(P)lamb unblemished and spotless, the blood of Christ.
