1 Peter 1:17-21

Modern English Version

¹⁷ And if you address as Father the One who impartially judges according to each one’s work, conduct yourselves in fear during the time of your sojourning. ¹⁸ For you know that you were not redeemed from your vain way of life inherited from your fathers with perishable things, like silver or gold, ¹⁹ but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot. ²⁰ He was foreordained before the creation of the world, but was revealed in these last times for you. ²¹ Through Him you believe in God who raised Him up from the dead and gave Him glory, so that your faith and hope might be in God.
