1Peter:1:18-21
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.
mnt@1Peter:1:21 @ Through him you believe in God who raised him from the dead and gave him glory; so that your faith and hope are now in God.
