12. God revealed to these prophets that their work was not for their own benefit, but for yours, as they spoke about those things which you have now heard from the messengers who announced the Good News by the power of the Holy Spirit sent from heaven. These are things which even the angels would like to understand.
13. So then, have your minds ready for action. Keep alert and set your hope completely on the blessing which will be given you when Jesus Christ is revealed.
14. Be obedient to God, and do not allow your lives to be shaped by those desires you had when you were still ignorant.
15. Instead, be holy in all that you do, just as God who called you is holy.
16. The scripture says, “Be holy because I am holy.”
