riversident - 1Peter:1:13-2:3

riversident@1Peter:1:13 @ Therefore brace up your minds, be calm and set your hope perfectly on the grace that is to be brought to you when Jesus Christ is revealed.

riversident@1Peter:1:14 @ As obedient children, do not shape your lives by the passions that ruled you in the former days of ignorance,

riversident@1Peter:1:15 @ but, like the Holy One who has called you, become yourselves holy in all your way of life,

riversident@1Peter:1:16 @ for it is written, "You shall be holy because I am holy."

riversident@1Peter:1:17 @ And if you call upon him as Father who impartially judges by each one's work, live out the time of your sojourn here in reverence,

riversident@1Peter:1:18 @ for you know that you were not ransomed with perishable things, silver or gold, from your purposeless life handed down from your forefathers,

riversident@1Peter:1:19 @ but by precious blood, as of a faultless, spotless lamb, the blood of Christ,

riversident@1Peter:1:20 @ who was foreknown before the foundation of the world, but was manifested at the end of time for your sake

riversident@1Peter:1:21 @ who through him are faithful to God, who raised him from the dead and gave him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God.

riversident@1Peter:1:22 @ Now that you have made your souls holy by obedience to the truth for sincere brotherly love, you must love one another steadily from your hearts,

riversident@1Peter:1:23 @ for you have been reborn, not from mortal seed but from immortal by the living and enduring word of God.

riversident@1Peter:1:24 @ For "All flesh is like grass and all its glory is like the flower of the grass; the grass withers and the flower falls,

riversident@1Peter:1:25 @ but the word of the Lord endures forever." And this is the word of good news that has been brought to you.

riversident@1Peter:2:1 @ THEN lay aside all malice and all deceit and hypocrisy and envy and every kind of slander,

riversident@1Peter:2:2 @ and, like new-born babes, long for the reasonable pure milk, that by it you may grow up into salvation,

riversident@1Peter:2:3 @ if you have tasted that the Lord is kind.
