13 Therefore, prepare your minds for action; be self-controlled; set your hope
fully on the grace to be given you when Jesus Christ is revealed.
14 As obedient children, do not conform to the evil desires you had when you
lived in ignorance.
15 But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; 16 for it is
written: “Be holy, because I, the Lord your God, am holy.”
17 Since you call on a Father who judges each man’s work impartially, live your
lives as strangers here in reverent fear.
18 For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that
you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your
forefathers, 19 but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or
defect.
