13 Therefore, having [a](A)girded your minds for action, [b](B)being sober in spirit, fix your (C)hope completely on the (D)grace [c]to be brought to you at (E)the revelation of Jesus Christ. 14 As [d](F)obedient children, not [e](G)being conformed to the former lusts which were yours in your (H)ignorance, 15 but [f](I)like the Holy One who called you, [g](J)be holy yourselves also (K)in all your conduct; 16 because it is written, “(L)You shall be holy, for I am holy.”

New Living Translation
A Call to Holy Living
13 So prepare your minds for action and exercise self-control. Put all your hope in the gracious salvation that will come to you when Jesus Christ is revealed to the world. 14 So you must live as God’s obedient children. Don’t slip back into your old ways of living to satisfy your own desires. You didn’t know any better then. 15 But now you must be holy in everything you do, just as God who chose you is holy. 16 For the Scriptures say, “You must be holy because I am holy.”[a]
