9. obtaining the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls.
10. Concerning this salvation, the prophets who prophesied about the grace meant for you sought and made careful inquiry,
11. investigating for what person or which time the Spirit of Christ in them was indicating when he testified beforehand to the sufferings with reference to Christ and the glories after these things,
12. to whom it was revealed that they were serving not themselves but you with reference to the same things which now have been announced to you through those who proclaimed the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven, things into which angels desire to look.
13. Therefore, when you have prepared your minds for action by being self-controlled, put your hope completely in the grace that will be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ.
14. As obedient children, do not be conformed to the former desires you used to conform to in your ignorance,
15. but as the one who called you is holy, you yourselves be holy in all your conduct,
16. for it is written, “You will be holy, because I am holy.”
