13 Wherefore|strong="G1352" girding up|strong="G1722" the|strong="G1722" loins|strong="G3751" of|strong="G5485" your|strong="G1909" mind|strong="G1271", be|strong="G3588" sober|strong="G3525" and|strong="G2424" set|strong="G1679" your|strong="G1909" hope|strong="G1679" perfectly on|strong="G1909" the|strong="G1722" grace|strong="G5485" that|strong="G3588" is|strong="G3588" to|strong="G1909" be|strong="G3588" brought|strong="G5342" unto|strong="G1909" you|strong="G5210" at|strong="G1722" the|strong="G1722" revelation of|strong="G5485" Jesus|strong="G2424" Christ|strong="G5547";

17 And|strong="G2532" if|strong="G1487" ye|strong="G5210" call|strong="G1941" on|strong="G1722" him|strong="G3588" as|strong="G1722" Father|strong="G3962", who|strong="G3588" without|strong="G2532" respect|strong="G5401" of|strong="G2532" persons judgeth|strong="G2919" according|strong="G2596" to|strong="G2532" each|strong="G1538" man|strong="G1538"’s work|strong="G2041", pass|strong="G2919" the|strong="G1722" time|strong="G5550" of|strong="G2532" your|strong="G2532" sojourning|strong="G3940" in|strong="G1722" fear|strong="G5401":
18 knowing|strong="G1492" that|strong="G3754" ye|strong="G5210" were|strong="G3588" redeemed|strong="G3084", not|strong="G3756" with|strong="G1537" corruptible|strong="G5349" things|strong="G3588", with|strong="G1537" silver or|strong="G2228" gold|strong="G5553", from|strong="G1537" your|strong="G3588" vain|strong="G3152" manner of|strong="G1537" life handed down|strong="G1537" from|strong="G1537" your|strong="G3588" fathers|strong="G3970";

22 Seeing ye|strong="G5210" have|strong="G5210" purified your|strong="G1722" souls|strong="G5590" in|strong="G1722" your|strong="G1722" obedience|strong="G5218" to|strong="G1519" the|strong="G1722" truth unto|strong="G1519" unfeigned love|strong="G5360" of|strong="G1537" the|strong="G1722" brethren|strong="G5360", love|strong="G5360" one|strong="G3588" another|strong="G3588" from|strong="G1537" the|strong="G1722" heart|strong="G2588" fervently|strong="G1619":
