1 Peter 1:10-16
New American Standard Bible
10 (A)As to this salvation, the prophets who (B)prophesied of the (C)grace that would come to you made careful searches and inquiries, 11 [a]seeking to know what person or time (D)the Spirit of Christ within them was indicating as He (E)predicted the sufferings of Christ and the glories [b]to follow. 12 It was revealed to them that they were not serving themselves, but you, in these things which now have been announced to you through those who (F)preached the gospel to you by (G)the Holy Spirit sent from heaven—things into which (H)angels long to [c]look.
13 Therefore, [d](I)prepare your minds for action, [e](J)keep sober in spirit, set your (K)hope completely on the (L)grace to be brought to you at (M)the revelation of Jesus Christ. 14 As [f](N)obedient children, do not [g](O)be conformed to the former lusts which were yours in your (P)ignorance, 15 but [h](Q)like the Holy One who called you, [i](R)be holy yourselves also (S)in all your behavior; 16 because it is written: “(T)You shall be holy, for I am holy.”

New International Version
1 Peter 1:10-16
New International Version
10 Concerning this salvation, the prophets, who spoke(A) of the grace that was to come to you,(B) searched intently and with the greatest care,(C) 11 trying to find out the time and circumstances to which the Spirit of Christ(D) in them was pointing when he predicted(E) the sufferings of the Messiah and the glories that would follow. 12 It was revealed to them that they were not serving themselves but you,(F) when they spoke of the things that have now been told you by those who have preached the gospel to you(G) by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven.(H) Even angels long to look into these things.
Be Holy
13 Therefore, with minds that are alert and fully sober,(I) set your hope(J) on the grace to be brought to you(K) when Jesus Christ is revealed at his coming.(L) 14 As obedient(M) children, do not conform(N) to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance.(O) 15 But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do;(P) 16 for it is written: “Be holy, because I am holy.”[a](Q)
