1 Peter 1:17-21
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 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 before the foundation of the world but was manifested in these last times for your sake.
1:21 Through him you now trust in God, who raised him from the dead and gave him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God.
