First Letter of Peter

because it is written, "You shall be holy; for I am holy."

If you call on him as Father, who without respect of persons judges according to each man's work, pass the time of your living as strangers here in reverent fear:

knowing that you were redeemed, not with corruptible things, with silver or gold, from the useless way of life handed down from your fathers,

but with precious blood, as of a lamb without spot, the blood of Christ;

who was foreknown indeed before the foundation of the world, but was revealed at the end of times for your sake,
