1 Peter 1:14-18
1:14 Like obedient children, do not comply with 1 the evil urges you used to follow in your ignorance, 2
1:15 but, like the Holy One who called you, become holy yourselves in all of your conduct,
1:16 for it is written, “You shall be holy, because I am holy.” 3
1:17 And if you address as Father the one who impartially judges according to each one’s work, live out the time of your temporary residence here 4 in reverence.
1:18 You know that from your empty way of life inherited from your ancestors you were ransomed – not by perishable things like silver or gold,
1 tn Or “do not be conformed to”; Grk “not being conformed to.”
2 tn Grk “the former lusts in your ignorance.”
3 sn A quotation from Lev 19:2.
4 tn Grk “the time of your sojourn,” picturing the Christian’s life in this world as a temporary stay in a foreign country (cf. 1:1).
