1 Peter 1:13-16 says:
"Therefore, get your minds ready for action, being self-disciplined, and set your hope completely on the grace to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ. As obedient children, do not be confromed to the desires of your former ignorance but, as the One who called you is holy, you also are to be holy in all your conduct; for it is written, 'Be holy, because I am holy.'"
