1 Peter 1:10-25

Christian Standard Bible

¹⁰Concerning this salvation, the prophets,^(A) who prophesied about the grace that would come to you, searched and carefully investigated. ¹¹They inquired into what time or what circumstances the Spirit of Christ^(B) within them was indicating when he testified in advance^(C) to the sufferings of Christ^(D) and the glories^(E) that would follow.^[a] ¹²It was revealed to them that they were not serving themselves but you. These things have now been announced to you through those who preached the gospel to you^(F) by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven^(G)—angels long to catch a glimpse of these things.

A Call to Holy Living

¹³Therefore, with your minds ready for action,^(H) be sober-minded^(I) and set your hope^(J) completely on the grace to be brought to you at the revelation^(K) of Jesus Christ. ¹⁴As obedient children,^(L) do not be conformed to the desires of your former ignorance. ¹⁵But as the one who called you^(M) is holy,^(N) you also are to be holy in all your conduct; ¹⁶for it is written, Be holy, because I am holy.^[b]^(O) ¹⁷If you appeal to the Father who judges impartially^(P) according to each one’s work,^(Q) you are to conduct yourselves in reverence^(R) during your time living as strangers. ¹⁸For you know that you were redeemed from your empty way of life^(S) inherited from your ancestors, not with perishable things like silver or gold,^(T) ¹⁹but with the precious blood of Christ,^(U) like that of an unblemished and spotless lamb.^(V) ²⁰He was foreknown^(W) before the foundation of the world but was revealed in these last times^(X) for you. ²¹Through him you believe in God,^(Y) who raised him from the dead^(Z) and gave him glory,^(AA) so that your faith and hope are in God.

²²Since you have purified yourselves by your obedience to the truth,^[c] so that you show sincere brotherly love for each other,^(AB) from a pure^[d] heart love one another constantly,^[e]^(AC) ²³because you have been born again^(AD)—not of perishable seed^(AE) but of imperishable—through the living and enduring word of God.^(AF) ²⁴For

All flesh is like grass,
and all its glory^(AG) like a flower of the grass.
The grass withers, and the flower falls,
²⁵but the word of the Lord endures forever.^[f]^(AH)

And this word is the gospel that was proclaimed to you.
