1 Peter 1:20-22

New Life Version

²⁰ Long before the world was made, God chose Christ to be given to you in these last days. ²¹ Because of Christ, you have put your trust in God. He raised Christ from the dead and gave Him great honor. So now your faith and hope are in God.

The Living Word

²² You have made your souls pure by obeying the truth through the Holy Spirit. This has given you a true love for the Christians. Let it be a true love from the heart.
