       1 Peter 1:13-16
       KJV 13 Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and
       hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at
       the revelation of Jesus Christ; 14 As obedient children, not
       fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your
       ignorance: 15 But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye
       holy in all manner of conversation; 16Because it is written, Be
       ye holy; for I am holy.
       WEB 13 Therefore prepare your minds for action. Be sober, and
       set your hope fully on the grace that will be brought to you at
       the revelation of Jesus Christ— 14 as children of obedience, not
       conforming yourselves according to your former lusts as in your
       ignorance, 15 but just as he who called you is holy, you
       yourselves also be holy in all of your behavior; 16 because it
       is written, “You shall be holy; for I am holy.”
       These are my thoughts, please share yours.
       13 Our minds need to be focused on the Lord and living for Him
       in His loving grace and not in the ways of this corrupted world.
       Grace only comes by Christ no where else can grace from God b
       found even though the world wants to think otherwise it is
       Christ alone.
       14 We are now by Christ empowered to obey and be His servants.
       We once lived in ignorance being in sin and apart from Christ,
       we should have had a change and should be changing now that we
       are in Him.
       15 Just as when we were not in Jesus that we drove to sin we now
       as Christians should drive to Him and His holiness.
       16 He alone is Holy but we need to be so close to Him that it
       shows thru our life. We are to be like Him in the best way we
       can by living right although we cant be perfect and that is
       where grace place its part but we should strive for so much
       closeness with God that living right is simply what we do.
