1:13 Therefore, get your minds ready for action ¹  by being fully sober, and set your hope ²  completely on the grace that will be brought to you when Jesus Christ is revealed. ³  1:14 Like obedient children, do not comply with ⁴  the evil urges you used to follow in your ignorance, ⁵  1:15 but, like the Holy One who called you, become holy yourselves in all of your conduct, 1:16 for it is written, “You shall be holy, because I am holy.” ⁶  1:17 And if you address as Father the one who impartially judges according to each one’s work, live out the time of your temporary residence here ⁷  in reverence. 1:18 You know that from your empty way of life inherited from your ancestors you were ransomed – not by perishable things like silver or gold, 1:19 but by precious blood like that of an unblemished and spotless lamb, namely Christ. 1:20 He was foreknown ⁸  before the foundation of the world but ⁹  was manifested in these last times ¹⁰  for your sake. 1:21 Through him you now trust ¹¹  in God, who raised him from the dead and gave him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God.
