1 Peter 1:9-16
New American Standard Bible
9 obtaining as (A)the outcome of your faith, the salvation of [a]your souls.
10 (B)As to this salvation, the prophets who (C)prophesied of the (D)grace that would come to you made careful searches and inquiries, 11 [b]seeking to know what person or time (E)the Spirit of Christ within them was indicating as He (F)predicted the sufferings of Christ and the glories [c]to follow. 12 It was revealed to them that they were not serving themselves, but you, in these things which now have been announced to you through those who (G)preached the gospel to you by (H)the Holy Spirit sent from heaven—things into which (I)angels long to [d]look.
13 Therefore, [e](J)prepare your minds for action, [f](K)keep sober in spirit, set your (L)hope completely on the (M)grace to be brought to you at (N)the revelation of Jesus Christ. 14 As [g](O)obedient children, do not [h](P)be conformed to the former lusts which were yours in your (Q)ignorance, 15 but [i](R)like the Holy One who called you, [j](S)be holy yourselves also (T)in all your behavior; 16 because it is written: “(U)You shall be holy, for I am holy.”
