1 Peter 1:15-21
New International Version
1 Peter 1:15-21
New International Version
15 But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do;(A) 16 for it is written: “Be holy, because I am holy.”[a](B)
17 Since you call on a Father(C) who judges each person’s work(D) impartially,(E) live out your time as foreigners(F) here in reverent fear.(G) 18 For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed(H) from the empty way of life(I) handed down to you from your ancestors, 19 but with the precious blood(J) of Christ, a lamb(K) without blemish or defect.(L) 20 He was chosen before the creation of the world,(M) but was revealed in these last times(N) for your sake. 21 Through him you believe in God,(O) who raised him from the dead(P) and glorified him,(Q) and so your faith and hope(R) are in God.

1 Peter 1:15-21
King James Version
15 But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;
16 Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.
17 And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man's work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear:
18 Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers;
19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:
20 Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,
21 Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God.
