American King James Version
"For as much as you know that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; "
— 1 Peter 1:18, American King James Version
“Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers;”
“knowing that ye were redeemed, not with corruptible things, with silver or gold, from your vain manner of life handed down from your fathers; ”
“knowing that you were redeemed, not with corruptible things, with silver or gold, from the useless way of life handed down from your fathers,”
“You know that from your empty way of life inherited from your ancestors you were ransomed– not by perishable things like silver or gold,”
“Knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, as gold or silver, from your vain conversation of the tradition of your fathers:”
“Being conscious that you have been made free from that foolish way of life which was your heritage from your fathers, not through a payment of things like silver or gold which come to destruction,”
“Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers;”
But as he which has called you is holy, so be you holy in all manner of conversation;
Because it is written, Be you holy; for I am holy.
And if you call on the Father, who without respect of persons judges according to every man’s work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear:
For as much as you know that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers;
But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:
Who truly was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,
Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God.
