1 Peter 1:17-21
Christian Standard Bible
17 If you appeal to the Father who judges impartially(A) according to each one’s work,(B) you are to conduct yourselves in reverence(C) during your time living as strangers. 18 For you know that you were redeemed from your empty way of life(D) inherited from your ancestors, not with perishable things like silver or gold,(E) 19 but with the precious blood of Christ,(F) like that of an unblemished and spotless lamb.(G) 20 He was foreknown(H) before the foundation of the world but was revealed in these last times(I) for you. 21 Through him you believe in God,(J) who raised him from the dead(K) and gave him glory,(L) so that your faith and hope are in God.

1 Peter 1:17-21
New Living Translation
17 And remember that the heavenly Father to whom you pray has no favorites. He will judge or reward you according to what you do. So you must live in reverent fear of him during your time here as “temporary residents.” 18 For you know that God paid a ransom to save you from the empty life you inherited from your ancestors. And it was not paid with mere gold or silver, which lose their value. 19 It was the precious blood of Christ, the sinless, spotless Lamb of God. 20 God chose him as your ransom long before the world began, but now in these last days he has been revealed for your sake.
21 Through Christ you have come to trust in God. And you have placed your faith and hope in God because he raised Christ from the dead and gave him great glory.
