16. for it is written, “You will be holy, because I am holy.”
17. And if you call on him as Father who judges impartially according to each one’s work, conduct yourselves with fear during the time of your temporary residence,
18. because you know that you were redeemed from your futile way of life inherited from your ancestors not with perishable things like silver or gold,
19. but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of an unblemished and spotless lamb
20. who was foreknown before the foundation of the world, but has been revealed in these last times for you
21. who through him are believing in God, who raised him from the dead and gave him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God.
