1 Peter 1:16-19

English Standard Version

¹⁶ since it is written, ^(A)“You shall be holy, for I am holy.” ¹⁷ And if you ^(B)call on him as Father who ^(C)judges ^(D)impartially according to each one's deeds, conduct yourselves ^(E)with fear throughout the time of your exile, ¹⁸ knowing that you ^(F)were ransomed from ^(G)the futile ways inherited from your forefathers, not with perishable things such as silver or gold, ¹⁹ but ^(H)with the precious blood of Christ, like that of ^(I)a lamb ^(J)without blemish or spot.
