If you address as Father the One who impartially judges according to each one's work, conduct yourselves in fear during the time of your stay on earth;

And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man's work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear:

knowing that you were not redeemed with perishable things like silver or gold from your futile way of life inherited from your forefathers,

Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers;

but with precious blood, as of a lamb unblemished and spotless, the blood of Christ.

But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:

For He was foreknown before the foundation of the world, but has appeared in these last times for the sake of you

Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,

who through Him are believers in God, who raised Him from the dead and gave Him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God.

Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God.
