1 Peter 1

I gird up the loins of my mind. I am sober and hope to the end for the grace that is brought to me by the revelation of Jesus Christ.

As an obedient child, I do not fashion myself any longer according to my former lust when I was ignorant. But now, as you, father, have called me to be holy, by your grace I am holy.

I am redeemed by your grace and Jesus’s atonement. I am redeemed with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish or spot, who was ordained before the foundation of the world.

Through Jesus, I believe in you, my Heavenly Father, who raised up Jesus from the dead, and who gave him glory, so that my faith and hope would be in you, the true God.

My soul is purified because I have believed your truth. I am born again by the incorruptible seed, the word of God, which liveth and abideth forever.
