— 1 Peter 1:14, American Standard Version
“As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance:”
“as children of obedience, not conforming yourselves according to your former lusts as in your ignorance,”
“Like obedient children, do not comply with the evil urges you used to follow in your ignorance,”
“As children of obedience, not fashioned according to the former desires of your ignorance,”
“Like children ruled by God, do not go back to the old desires of the time when you were without knowledge:”
“As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance:”
searching what time or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did point unto, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glories that should follow them.
To whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto you, did they minister these things, which now have been announced unto you through them that preached the gospel unto you by the Holy Spirit sent forth from heaven; which things angels desire to look into.
Wherefore girding up the loins of your mind, be sober and set your hope perfectly on the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;
as children of obedience, not fashioning yourselves according to your former lusts in the time of your ignorance:
but like as he who called you is holy, be ye yourselves also holy in all manner of living;
because it is written, Ye shall be holy; for I am holy.
And if ye call on him as Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to each man’s work, pass the time of your sojourning in fear:
