1 Peter 1:15-17

New Century Version

¹⁵ But be holy in all you do, just as God, the One who called you, is holy. ¹⁶ It is written in the Scriptures: “You must be holy, because I am holy.”^[a]

¹⁷ You pray to God and call him Father, and he judges each person’s work equally. So while you are here on earth, you should live with respect for God.
