“having known that, not with corruptible things—silver or gold—were you redeemed from your foolish behavior inherited from our forefathers,”— 1 Peter 1:18 (LSV)
15but according as He who called you [is] holy, you also, become holy in all behavior,
16because it has been written: “Become holy, because I am holy”;
17and if you call on the Father, who is judging without favoritism according to the work of each, pass the time of your sojourn in fear,
18having known that, not with corruptible things—silver or gold—were you redeemed from your foolish behavior inherited from our forefathers,
19but with precious blood, as of a lamb unblemished and unspotted—Christ’s—
20foreknown, indeed, before the foundation of the world, and revealed in the last times because of you,
21who through Him believe in God who raised [Him] out of the dead, and gave glory to Him, so that your faith and hope may be in God.
