14 [a]As obedient children, not fashioned yourselves unto the former lusts of your ignorance:

15 But as he which hath called you, is holy, so be ye holy in (A)all manner of conversation,

16 [b]Because it is written, (B)Be ye holy, for I am holy.

Footnotes

  1. 1 Peter 1:14 He passeth from faith and hope, to the fruits of them both, which are understood in the name of obedience: And it consisteth in two things, in renouncing our lusts, and living godly: which lusts have their beginning of that blindness wherein all men are born: but holiness proceedeth from the grace and favor of GOD, which adopteth us, and therefore regenerateth us, that the father and the children may be of one disposition.
  2. 1 Peter 1:16 He showeth that sanctification doth necessarily follow adoption.
