17 And if you call on him as Father who judges ^eimpartially according to each one’s deeds, conduct yourselves with fear throughout the time of your ^fexile, 18 knowing that you were ^gransomed from the futile ways inherited from your forefathers, ^hnot with perishable things such as ⁱsilver or gold, 19 but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a ^jlamb without blemish or spot.
