| 18 | You know that you were ransomed from the futile ways inherited from your fathers, not with perishable things such as silver or gold, |
| 19 | but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without blemish or spot. |
| 20 | He was destined before the foundation of the world but was made manifest at the end of the times for your sake. |
| 21 | Through him you have confidence in God, who raised him from the dead and gave him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God. |
