1 Peter 1:8–16

⁸Whom having not seen, you love: in whom also now though you see him not, you believe and, believing, shall rejoice with joy unspeakable and glorified;

⁹Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.

¹⁰Of which salvation the prophets have inquired and diligently searched, who prophesied of the grace to come in you.

¹¹Searching what or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ in them did signify, when it foretold those sufferings that are in Christ and the glories that should follow.

¹²To whom it was revealed that, not to themselves but to you, they ministered those things which are now declared to you by them that have preached the gospel to you: the Holy Ghost being sent down from heaven, on whom the angels desire to look.

¹³Wherefore, having the loins of your mind girt up, being sober, trust perfectly in the grace which is offered you in the revelation of Jesus Christ.

¹⁴As children of obedience, not fashioned according to the former desires of your ignorance,

¹⁵But according to him that hath called you, who is holy, be you also in all manner of conversation holy:

¹⁶Because it is written: You shall be holy, for I am holy.
