1 Peter 1:15

But as he which hath called you is holy; rather, after the pattern of the Holy One who called you . The calling is the fulfillment of the election:, "Whom he did predestinate, them he also called." The Christian's effort must be to fashion himself, by God's grace, after the likeness of God. not according to the former lusts (comp. Matthew 5:45 , Matthew 5:48 ; also Colossians 3:10 ; Ephesians 4:24 ). So be ye holy in all manner of conversation. In the whole course of your daily life, in all its details, as you move hither and thither among men, take the holiness of God for your pattern: "Be not conformed to this world." (For the word "conversation" ( ἀναστροφή ), comp. Galatians 1:13 ; Ephesians 4:22 ; 1 Timothy 4:12 ; Hebrews 13:7 .)
