1 Peter 1:10-17

New American Standard Bible 1995

¹³ Therefore, ^[d](I)prepare your minds for action, ^[e](J)keep sober in spirit, fix your ^(K)hope completely on the ^(L)grace ^[f]to be brought to you at ^(M)the revelation of Jesus Christ. ¹⁴ As ^[g](N)obedient children, do not ^[h](O)be conformed to the former lusts which were yours in your ^(P)ignorance, ¹⁵ but ^[i](Q)like the Holy One who called you, ^[j](R)be holy yourselves also ^(S)in all your behavior; ¹⁶ because it is written, “^(T)You shall be holy, for I am holy.”

¹⁷ If you ^(U)address as Father the One who ^(V)impartially ^(W)judges according to each one’s work, conduct yourselves ^(X)in fear during the time of your ^(Y)stay on earth;
