THE SURROUNDING PASSAGE
1 Peter 1:13 in context
1 Peter 1:10–16
10
Concerning this salvation, the prophets sought and searched diligently. They prophesied of the grace that would come to you,
11
searching for who or what kind of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them pointed to when he predicted the sufferings of Christ and the glories that would follow them.
12
To them it was revealed that they served not themselves, but you, in these things, which now have been announced to you through those who preached the Good News to you by the Holy Spirit sent out from heaven; which things angels desire to look into.
13
Selected verse
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.”
