1 Peter 1:18-20

International Standard Version

¹⁸ For you know that it was not with perishable things like silver or gold that you have been ransomed from the worthless way of life handed down to you by your ancestors, ¹⁹ but with the precious blood of the Messiah,^[a] like that of a lamb without blemish or defect. ²⁰ On the one hand, he was foreknown before the creation^[b] of the world, but on the other hand, he was revealed at the end of time for your sake.
