1 Peter 1:17-21

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁷ And if you invoke as Father him who, without respect of persons, judgeth according to every one's work: converse in fear during the time of your sojourning here.

¹⁸ Knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things as gold or silver, from your vain conversation of the tradition of your fathers:

¹⁹ But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb unspotted and undefiled,

²⁰ Foreknown indeed before the foundation of the world, but manifested in the last times for you,

²¹ Who through him are faithful in God, who raised him up from the dead, and hath given him glory, that your faith and hope might be in God.
