1 Peter 1:17-22

17And if ye call on him as Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to each man’s work, pass the time of your sojourning in fear:

18knowing that ye were redeemed, not with corruptible things, with silver or gold, from your vain manner of life handed down from your fathers;

19but with precious blood, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot, even the blood of Christ:

20who was foreknown indeed before the foundation of the world, but was manifested at the end of the times for your sake,

21who through him are believers in God, which raised him from the dead, and gave him glory; so that your faith and hope might be in God.

22Seeing ye have purified your souls in your obedience to the truth unto unfeigned love of the brethren, love one another from the heart fervently:
