13 Wherefore gird vp the loynes of your minde, bee sober, and hope to the end, for the grace that is to bee brought vnto you at the reuelation of Iesus Christ:
14 As obedient children, not fashioning your selues according to the former lusts, in your ignorance:
15 But as hee which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all maner of conuersation;
16 Because it is written, Be ye holy, for I am holy.
17 And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons iudgeth according to euery mans worke, passe the time of your soiourning here in feare:
18 For as much as ye know that yee were not redeemed with corruptible things, as siluer and golde, from your vaine conuersation receiued by tradition from your fathers;
19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a Lambe without blemish and without spot,
20 Who verily was foreordeined before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you.
21 Who by him do beleeue in God that raised him vp from the dead, and gaue him glorie, that your faith and hope might be in God.
22 Seeing yee haue purified your soules in obeying the truth through the Spirit, vnto vnfained loue of the brethren: see that ye loue one another with a pure heart feruently,
23 Being borne againe, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God which liueth and abideth for euer.
24 For all flesh is as grasse, and all the glory of man as the flowre of grasse: the grasse withereth, and the flowre thereof falleth away.
25 But the word of the Lord endureth for euer: & this is the word which by the Gospel is preached vnto you.
