   (In the Order Believed Written)

13 - Therefore, discipline your mind to sober thinking, be alert and fix your hope [elpis - hope, expectation, trust] completely upon the grace to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ. 14 As obedient children, don’t be conformed to the passions of your former life when you didn’t know any better, 15 but as he who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, 16 because it’s written, “You shall be holy, for I am holy.” 17 And if you call upon he who is Father, and who judges impartially according to each one's doings, conduct yourselves with reverence, or fear if need be, throughout the time of our exile, 18 knowing that we were - ransomed - from the futile ways inherited from our forefathers. And not with perishable things such as silver or gold, 19 but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without blemish or spot. 20 Known before the foundation of the world but made manifest in the last times for the sake of you, 21 who through him are believers in God, who raised him from the dead, bestowing glory, so your faith and hope would be in God. 22 And having purified your souls by your obedience to the truth, you now have true affection for your fellow person. Love one another genuinely and earnestly from a pure heart, 23 since you’ve been born again, not of perishable seed but of imperishable - through the living and abiding word of God, 24 for “All is like grass and all its glory like the flower of grass. The grass withers, and the flower falls, 25 but the word [logos - reasoning, root of logic] of the LORD endures and stands forever” — And this word is the good news that was proclaimed to you.
