Therefore, with your minds ready for action, be sober-minded and set your hope completely on the grace to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ. 14As obedient children, do not be conformed to the desires of your former ignorance. 15But as the one who called you is holy, you also are to be holy in all your conduct;

Commentaries on 1 Peter 1:13
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 13Gird up the loins of your mind - Take courage from this display of God's love now made known to you; and though you must expect trials, yet fortify your minds with the consideration that he who has given you his Son Jesus will withhold from you no manner of thing that is good. The allusion here is to the long robes of the Asiatics, which, when they were about to perform any active service, they tucked in their girdles: this they did also when they waited…Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 13Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind - The allusion here is to the manner in which the Orientals were accustomed to dress.

A strong and perfect trust in the grace of God, is…Read the comment
