but, like the Holy One who called you, become holy yourselves in all of your conduct,

For to this you were called, since Christ also suffered for you, leaving an example for you to follow in his steps.

like Sarah who obeyed Abraham, calling him lord. You become her children when you do what is good and have no fear in doing so.

Do not return evil for evil or insult for insult, but instead bless others because you were called to inherit a blessing.

And, after you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace who called you to his eternal glory in Christ will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you.

But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people of his own, so that you may proclaim the virtues of the one who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.
