tcent - 1Peter:1:13-2:3

tcent@1Peter:1:13 @ Therefore, prepare your minds for action, be sober in spirit, set your hope fully on the grace to be given you at the revelation of Jesus Christ.

tcent@1Peter:1:14 @ As obedient children, do not be conformed to the former lusts which were yours in your ignorance,

tcent@1Peter:1:15 @ but as he who called you is holy, be holy yourselves in all your conduct;

tcent@1Peter:1:16 @ because it is written, »You shall be holy, for I am holy.«

tcent@1Peter:1:17 @ If you address as Father the One who impartially judges according to each one's work, conduct yourselves in fear during the time of your exile on earth.

tcent@1Peter:1:18 @ You know that you were redeemed from the futile way of life inherited from your forefathers, not with perishable things such as silver or gold,

tcent@1Peter:1:19 @ but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without blemish or spot.

tcent@1Peter:1:20 @ He was destined before the foundation of the world, but was revealed in these last times for your sake.

tcent@1Peter:1:21 @ Through him you have confidence in God, who raised him from the dead and gave him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God.

tcent@1Peter:1:22 @ Since you have purified your souls by obedience to the truth for a sincere love of the brethren, love one another earnestly from the heart.

tcent@1Peter:1:23 @ For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God.

tcent@1Peter:1:24 @ For,

tcent@1Peter:1:25 @ And this is the word which was preached to you.

tcent@1Peter:2:1 @ Therefore, put away all malice and all deceit and hypocrisy and envy and all slander.

tcent@1Peter:2:2 @ Like newborn babes, long for the pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation,

tcent@1Peter:2:3 @ for you have tasted the kindness of the Lord.
