1 Peter 1:8–16

⁸whom, having not seen, ye love; on whom though not now looking, but believing, ye exult with joy unspeakable and filled with the glory, ⁹receiving the end of your faith, the salvation of your souls.

¹⁰Concerning which salvation prophets, who have prophesied of the grace towards you, sought out and searched out; ¹¹searching what, or what manner of time, the Spirit of Christ which was in them pointed out, testifying before of the sufferings which belonged to Christ, and the glories after these. ¹²To whom it was revealed, that not to themselves but to you they ministered those things, which have now been announced to you by those who have declared to you the glad tidings by the Holy Spirit, sent from heaven, which angels desire to look into.

¹³Wherefore, having girded up the loins of your mind, be sober and hope with perfect stedfastness in the grace which will be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; ¹⁴as children of obedience, not conformed to your former lusts in your ignorance; ¹⁵but as he who has called you is holy, be ye also holy in all your conversation; ¹⁶because it is written, Be ye holy, for I am holy.
