1 Peter 1:15-17

Expanded Bible

¹⁵ But be holy in all ·you do [your behavior/conduct], just as ·God, the One [^Lthe One] who called you, is holy. ¹⁶ [^LFor; Because] It is written in the Scriptures: “You must be holy, because I am holy [Lev. 11:45; 19:2; 20:7].”

¹⁷ ·You pray to God and call him Father, and he [^LSince you address as Father the one who] judges each person’s ·work [deeds] ·equally [impartially; without prejudice]. So while you are ·here on earth [living as exiles/strangers/sojourners], you should live with ·respect [fear] for God [Prov. 1:7].
