1 Peter 1:13-16
New English Translation

13 Therefore, get your minds ready for action[a] by being fully sober, and set your hope[b] completely on the grace that will be brought to you when Jesus Christ is revealed.[c] 14 Like obedient children, do not comply with[d] the evil urges you used to follow in your ignorance,[e] 15 but, like the Holy One who called you, become holy yourselves in all of your conduct, 16 for it is written, “You shall be holy, because I am holy.”[f]
