16because it hath been written, `Become ye holy, because I am holy;`
17and if on the Father ye do call, who without acceptance of persons is judging according to the work of each, in fear the time of your sojourn pass ye,
18having known that, not with corruptible things -- silver or gold -- were ye redeemed from your foolish behaviour delivered by fathers,
19but with precious blood, as of a lamb unblemished and unspotted -- Christ`s --
20foreknown, indeed, before the foundation of the world, and manifested in the last times because of you,
21who through him do believe in God, who did raise out of the dead, and glory to him did give, so that your faith and hope may be in God.
22Your souls having purified in the obedience of the truth through the Spirit to brotherly love unfeigned, out of a pure heart one another love ye earnestly,
