1 Peter 1:15-18 Common English Bible (CEB)

15. you must be holy in every aspect of your lives, just as the one who called you is holy.

16. It is written, You will be holy, because I am holy.

17. Since you call upon a Father who judges all people according to their actions without favoritism, you should conduct yourselves with reverence during the time of your dwelling in a strange land.

18. Live in this way, knowing that you were not liberated by perishable things like silver or gold from the empty lifestyle you inherited from your ancestors.
