I Peter 1

By the ministry and life of Jesus Christ and by God’s grace, I believe in God. I believe God is my heavenly father and that he has adopted me as his child. To justify and deliver me, he placed the punishment of my sin on Jesus, and he imputed Jesus’s righteousness to my account. He raised Jesus up from the dead and gave him glory that, through faith in Jesus, I would see God. Through diligent faith in Christ my soul is purified. I am born again of incorruptible seed by the word of God who lives and abides in me forever.

Therefore, I gird up the loins of my mind; I am sober and I hope always for the grace of God to be brought to me dailyly by the revelation of Jesus Christ. I no longer fashion my thoughts according to my former lusts when I was ignorant, but now I try to make every part of my life and lifestyle holy. My God, whom I fear properly, has called me to be holy as he is holy.
