And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man's work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear: / 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 with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: / Who verily 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. Bible
