"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 ye were redeemed, not with corruptible things, with silver or gold, from your vain manner of life handed down from 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, like the Holy One who called you, become holy yourselves in all of your conduct,
for it is written,“You shall be holy, because I am holy.”
