14 Like obedient children, do not be conformed to the desires that you formerly had in ignorance. 15 Instead, as he who called you is holy, be holy yourselves in all your conduct,(A) 16 for it is written, “You shall be holy, for I am holy.”(B)
17 If you invoke as Father the one who judges impartially according to each person’s work, live in fear during the time of your exile.(C) 18 You know that you were ransomed from the futile conduct inherited from your ancestors, not with perishable things like silver or gold 19 but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without defect or blemish.(D) 20 He was destined before the foundation of the world but was revealed at the end of the ages for your sake.(E) 21 Through him you have come to trust in God, who raised him from the dead and gave him glory, so that your trust and hope are in God.

14 As obedient(A) children, do not conform(B) to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance.(C) 15 But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do;(D) 16 for it is written: “Be holy, because I am holy.”[a](E)
17 Since you call on a Father(F) who judges each person’s work(G) impartially,(H) live out your time as foreigners(I) here in reverent fear.(J) 18 For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed(K) from the empty way of life(L) handed down to you from your ancestors, 19 but with the precious blood(M) of Christ, a lamb(N) without blemish or defect.(O) 20 He was chosen before the creation of the world,(P) but was revealed in these last times(Q) for your sake. 21 Through him you believe in God,(R) who raised him from the dead(S) and glorified him,(T) and so your faith and hope(U) are in God.
