1 Peter 1:13
Compare all
11 searching what, or what manner of time, athe Spirit of Christ who was in them was indicating when He testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ and the glories that would follow.  
12 To them it was revealed that, not to themselves, but to1 us they were ministering the things which now have been reported to you through those who have preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven—things which aangels desire to look into.  

Living Before God Our Father

13 Therefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and rest your hope fully upon the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;
14 as obedient children, not aconforming yourselves to the former lusts, as in your ignorance;  
15 abut as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct,  
16 because it is written, a“Be holy, for I am holy.”  
17 And if you call on the Father, who awithout partiality judges according to each one’s work, conduct yourselves throughout the time of your1 stay here in fear;  
18 knowing that you were not redeemed with1 corruptible things, like silver or gold, from your aimless conduct received by tradition from your fathers,  
19 but awith the precious blood of Christ, bas of a lamb without blemish and without spot.  
20 aHe indeed was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was1 manifest bin these last times for you  
21 who through Him believe in God, awho raised Him from the dead and bgave Him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God.  

The Enduring Word

22 Since you ahave purified your souls in obeying the truth1 through the Spirit in sincere blove of the brethren, love one another fervently with a pure heart,  
23 ahaving been born again, not of1 corruptible seed but incorruptible, bthrough the word of God which lives and abides3 forever,  
24 because
a“All flesh is as grass,
And all1 the glory of man as the flower of the grass.
The grass withers,
And its flower falls away,

1 Peter 1:13

Wherefore (dio). "Because of which thing," the glorious free grace opened for Gentiles and Jews in Christ (verses I Peter 1:3-12).

Girding up (anazwsamenoi). First aorist middle participle of anazwnnumi, late and rare verb (Judges 18:16; 29:35; Proverbs 31:17), here only in N.T., vivid metaphor for habit of the Orientals, who quickly gathered up their loose robes with a girdle when in a hurry or starting on a journey.

The loins (tav osfuav). Old word for the part of the body where the girdle (zwnh) was worn. Metaphor here as in Luke 12:35; Ephesians 6:14.

Mind (dianoiav). Old word for the faculty of understanding, of seeing through a thing (dia, noew) as in Matthew 22:37.

Be sober (nhfontev). "Being sober" (present active participle of nhfw, old verb, but in N.T. always as metaphor (I Thessalonians 5:6, I Thessalonians 5:8, etc., and so in I Peter 4:7).

Perfectly (teleiwv). Adverb, old word (here alone in N.T.), from adjective teleiov (perfect), connected with elpisate (set your hope, first aorist active imperative of elpizw) in the Revised Version, but Bigg, Hort, and most modern commentators take it according to Peter's usual custom with the preceding verb, nhfontev ("being perfectly sober," not "hope perfectly").

That is to be brought (thn feromenhn). Present passive articular participle of ferw, picturing the process, "that is being brought." For "revelation" (apokaluyei) see end of verse I Peter 1:7.
