1 Peter 1:16
Compare all
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, 
25 aBut the1 word of the Lord endures forever.” bNow this is the word which by the gospel was preached to you.
