1 Peter 1:11-25

111seeking to know what person or time 2the Spirit of Christ within them was indicating as He 3predicted the sufferings of Christ and the glories 4to follow. 12It was revealed to them that they were not serving themselves, but you, in these things which now have been announced to you through those who 5preached the gospel to you by 6the Holy Spirit sent from heaven--things into which 7angels long to 8look.

13Therefore, 910prepare your minds for action, 1112keep sober in spirit, fix your 13hope completely on the 14grace 15to be brought to you at 16the revelation of Jesus Christ. 14As 1718obedient children, do not 1920be conformed to the former lusts which were yours in your 21ignorance, 15but 2223like the Holy One who called you, 2425be holy yourselves also 26in all your behavior; 16because it is written, “27You shall be holy, for I am holy.”

17If you 28address as Father the One who 29impartially 30judges according to each one’s work, conduct yourselves 31in fear during the time of your 32stay on earth; 18knowing that you were not 3334redeemed with perishable things like silver or gold from your 35futile way of life inherited from your forefathers, 19but with precious 36blood, as of a 37lamb unblemished and spotless, the blood of Christ. 20For He was 38foreknown before 39the foundation of the world, but has 40appeared 41in these last times 42for the sake of you 21who through Him are 43believers in God, who raised Him from the dead and 44gave Him glory, so that your faith and 45hope are in God.

22Since you have 46in obedience to the truth 47purified your souls for a 4849sincere love of the brethren, fervently love one another from 50the heart, 23for you have been 51born again 52not of seed which is perishable but imperishable, that is, through the living and enduring 53word of God. 24For, “54All flesh is like grass, And all its glory like the flower of grass. The grass withers, And the flower falls off,2555But the word of the Lord endures forever.” And this is 56the word which was 57preached to you.
