1Peter:1:17-20
mnt@1Peter:1:17 @ And since you call upon him as Father, who impartially judges each one according to his deeds, pass the time of your sojourning here in reverence.
mnt@1Peter:1:18 @ For you well know that not with perishable things, with silver or gold, were you redeemed from the emptiness of your manner of life, received by tradition from your ancestors;
mnt@1Peter:1:19 @ but with precious blood, like that of a lamb without spot or blemish, even the blood of Christ.
mnt@1Peter:1:20 @ He was indeed foreknown before the foundation of the world, but was manifested at the end of the times for your sake.
