Seeker Overlay ON
*
Therefore ,
having the loins of your understanding girded with temperance ,
wait perfectly in the grace that is presented unto you when Jesus ,
the Christ ,
is manifested unto you ,
*
as obedient sons ,
not conforming yourselves with the former desires that you had before in your ignorance ,
*
but as he who has called you is holy ,
so be ye holy in all manner of conversation ;
*
for it is written ,
Be ye holy ;
for I am holy .
*
And if ye invoke as Father ,
he who without respect of persons judges according to the work of each one ,
converse in fear the entire time of your sojourning [
here ],
*
knowing that ye have been ransomed from your vain conversation (
which you received from your fathers ),
not with corruptible things [
like ]
silver and gold ,
*
but with the precious blood of the Christ ,
as of a lamb without blemish and without contamination ,
*
already ordained from before the foundation of the world ,
but was manifest in these last times for love of you ,
*
who by him do believe God ,
who raised him up from the dead and has given him glory :
that your faith and hope might be in God .
*
Having purified your souls in the obedience of the truth ,
by the Spirit ,
in unfeigned brotherly love ,
love one another with a pure heart fervently ,
*
being born again ,
not of corruptible seed ,
but of incorruptible ,
by the word of God ,
which lives and abides for ever .
*
For all flesh [
is ]
as grass ,
and all the glory of man as the flower of grass .
The grass withers ,
and its flower falls away ,
*
but the word of the Lord endures for ever .
And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you .:
