Hope-Induced Holiness

Hope should produce holy conduct in us Christians because the holy God who called them and made them his children commands us to be holy (vv. 13-16) and because holy Jesus redeemed us from our futile, unholy conduct (vv. 17-21).

1 Peter 1:13-21

Διὸ ἀναζωσάμενοι τὰς ὀσφύας τῆς διανοίας ὑμῶν

by being sober-minded,

τελείως ἐλπίσατε ἐπὶ τὴν φερομένην ὑμῖν χάριν ἐν ἀποκαλύψει Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ.

fully set your hope on the grace to be given to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ.
