| English Standard Version (ESV) | New International Version (NIV) |
| 18 knowing that you were ransomed from the futile ways inherited from your forefathers, not with perishable things such as silver or gold, | 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, |
| 19 but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without blemish or spot. | 19 but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect. |
