Therefore,\xa0preparing your minds for action,\xa0and\xa0being sober-minded, set your hope fully on the grace that will be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ.\xa0
14\xa0As obedient children,\xa0do not be conformed to the passions\xa0of your former ignorance,\xa015\xa0but\xa0as he who called you is holy, you also be holy\xa0in all your conduct,\xa016\xa0since it is written,\xa0\u201cYou shall be holy, for I am holy.\u201d\xa0
17\xa0And if you\xa0call on him as Father who\xa0judges\xa0impartially according to each one's deeds, conduct yourselves\xa0with fear throughout the time of your exile,\xa018\xa0knowing that you\xa0were ransomed from\xa0the futile ways inherited from your forefathers, not with perishable things such as silver or gold,\xa019\xa0but\xa0with the precious blood of Christ, like that of\xa0a lamb\xa0without blemish or spot.\xa0
20\xa0He was foreknown before the foundation of the world but\xa0was made manifest\xa0in the last times for the sake of you\xa021\xa0who through him are believers in God,\xa0who raised him from the dead and\xa0gave him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God.
22\xa0Having purified your souls by your obedience to the truth for\xa0a sincere brotherly love,\xa0love one another earnestly from a pure heart,\xa023\xa0since you have been born again,\xa0not of perishable seed but of imperishable, through\xa0the living and abiding word of God;\xa0
24\xa0for \u201cAll flesh is like grass and all its glory like the flower of grass. The grass withers, and the flower falls, 25\xa0but the word of the Lord remains forever.\u201d
And this word\xa0is the good news that was preached to you. 1 Peter 1:13-25 (ESV)
