1 Peter 1:17-21
Holman Christian Standard Bible
17 And if you address as Father the One who judges impartially(A) based on each one’s work,(B) you are to conduct yourselves in fear(C) during the time of your temporary residence. 18 For you know that you were redeemed from your empty way of life(D) inherited from the fathers, not with perishable things like silver or gold,(E) 19 but with the precious blood of Christ,(F) like that of a lamb(G) without defect or blemish. 20 He was chosen[a](H) before the foundation of the world but was revealed at the end of the times(I) for you 21 who through Him are believers in God,(J) who raised Him from the dead(K) and gave Him glory,(L) so that your faith and hope are in God.

New International Version
17 Since you call on a Father(A) who judges each person’s work(B) impartially,(C) live out your time as foreigners(D) here in reverent fear.(E) 18 For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed(F) from the empty way of life(G) handed down to you from your ancestors, 19 but with the precious blood(H) of Christ, a lamb(I) without blemish or defect.(J) 20 He was chosen before the creation of the world,(K) but was revealed in these last times(L) for your sake. 21 Through him you believe in God,(M) who raised him from the dead(N) and glorified him,(O) and so your faith and hope(P) are in God.
