1 Peter 1:14-16

MSG

NIV

14 Don't lazily slip back into those old grooves of evil, doing just what you feel like doing. You didn't know any better then; you do now.
14 As obedient children, do not conform to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance.
15 As obedient children, let yourselves be pulled into a way of life shaped by God's life, a life energetic and blazing with holiness.
15 But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do;
16 God said, "I am holy; you be holy."
16 for it is written: “Be holy, because I am holy.”
