1 Peter 1:17-19

17So if you call God your Father, live your time as temporary residents on earth in fear. He is the God who judges all people by what they have done, and he doesn’t play favorites.

18Realize that you weren’t set free from the worthless life handed down to you from your ancestors by a payment of silver or gold which can be destroyed.

19Rather, the payment that freed you was the precious blood of Christ, the lamb with no defects or imperfections.
