1Pet. 1:18 For you
know that it was not with perishable things
such as silver or gold that you were
redeemed from the empty way of life handed
down to you from your forefathers,
1Pet. 1:19 but with
the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without
blemish or defect.
1Pet. 1:20 He
was chosen before the creation of the world,
but was revealed in these last times for
your sake.
1Pet. 1:21 Through
him you believe in God, who raised him from
the dead and glorified him, and so your
faith and hope are in God.
