Read in context

1 Peter 1:15–19 · Berean Standard Bible

15 But just as He who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do,

16 for it is written: “Be holy, because I am holy.”

17 Since you call on a Father who judges each one’s work impartially, conduct yourselves in reverent fear during your stay as foreigners.

18 For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life you inherited from your forefathers,

19 but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or spot.
