^{14 Ref} as children of obedience, not conforming yourselves according to your former lusts as in your ignorance,

^{15 Ref} but just as he who called you is holy, you yourselves also be holy in all of your behavior;

^{16 Ref} because it is written, "You shall be holy; for I am holy."

^{17 Ref} If you call on him as Father, who without respect of persons judges according to each man's work, pass the time of your living as strangers here in reverent fear:

^{18 Ref} knowing that you were redeemed, not with corruptible things, with silver or gold, from the useless way of life handed down from your fathers,

^{19 Ref} but with precious blood, as of a lamb without spot, the blood of Christ;

^{20 Ref} who was foreknown indeed before the foundation of the world, but was revealed at the end of times for your sake,

^{21 Ref} who through him are believers in God, who raised him from the dead, and gave him glory; so that your faith and hope might be in God.
