A Call to Holiness and Obedience

13

Wherefore having girded up the loins of your mind, being sober, hope perfectly upon the grace that is being brought to you in the revelation of Jesus Christ,

14

as obedient children, not fashioning yourselves to the former desires in your ignorance,

15

but according as He who did call you is holy, ye also, become holy in all behaviour,

16

because it hath been written, `Become ye holy, because I am holy;'

17

and if on the Father ye do call, who without acceptance of persons is judging according to the work of each, in fear the time of your sojourn pass ye,

18

having known that, not with corruptible things--silver or gold--were ye redeemed from your foolish behaviour delivered by fathers,

19

but with precious blood, as of a lamb unblemished and unspotted--Christ's--

20

foreknown, indeed, before the foundation of the world, and manifested in the last times because of you,

21

who through him do believe in God, who did raise out of the dead, and glory to him did give, so that your faith and hope may be in God.
