1 Peter 1:13-16

13 Therefore prepare your minds for action; [a] discipline yourselves; set all your hope on the grace that Jesus Christ will bring you when he is revealed.
14 Like obedient children, do not be conformed to the desires that you formerly had in ignorance.
15 Instead, as he who called you is holy, be holy yourselves in all your conduct;
16 for it is written, "You shall be holy, for I am holy."
