1 Peter 1:18

For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.

Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.

Ye are bought with a price; be not ye the servants of men.

Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father:

This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind,
