1 Pt 1:13-21

Obedience. 13^* Therefore, gird up the loins of your mind,^* live soberly, and set your hopes completely on the grace to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ. 14Like obedient children, do not act in compliance with the desires of your former ignorance^* 15but, as he who called you is holy, be holy yourselves in every aspect of your conduct,ⁱ 16for it is written, “Be holy because I [am] holy.”^j

Reverence. 17Now if you invoke as Father him who judges impartially according to each one’s works, conduct yourselves with reverence during the time of your sojourning,^k 18realizing that you were ransomed from your futile conduct, handed on by your ancestors, not with perishable things like silver or gold^l 19but with the precious blood of Christ^m as of a spotless unblemished lamb.^* 20He was known before the foundation of the world but revealed in the final time for you, 21who through him believe in God who raised him from the dead and gave him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God.
