10 Concerning this salvation, (A)the prophets who prophesied about the grace that was to be yours searched and inquired carefully, 11 inquiring (B)what person or time[a] (C)the Spirit of Christ in them was indicating (D)when he predicted (E)the sufferings of Christ and the subsequent glories. 12 (F)It was revealed to them that (G)they were serving not themselves but you, in the things that have now been announced to you through those who preached the good news to you (H)by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven, (I)things into which angels long to look.

Called to Be Holy

13 Therefore, (J)preparing your minds for action,[b] and (K)being sober-minded, set your hope fully on the grace that will be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ. 14 As obedient children, (L)do not be conformed to the passions (M)of your former ignorance, 15 but (N)as he who called you is holy, you also be holy (O)in all your conduct, 16 since it is written, (P)“You shall be holy, for I am holy.”
