10Concerning this salvation,the prophets sought and searched diligently.They prophesied of the grace that would come to you,11searching forwho or what kind of time the Spirit of Christwhich was in them pointed towhen he predicted the sufferings of Christand the glories that would follow them.12To them it was revealed that they served not themselves,but you, in these things,which now have been announced to you through thosewho preached the Good News to you by the Holy Spirit sent out from heaven;which things angels desire to look into.

13Therefore prepare your minds for action.Be sober, and set your hope fully on the gracethat will be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ—14as children of obedience,not conforming yourselves according to your former lusts as in your ignorance,15but just as he who called you is holy,you yourselves also be holy in all of your behavior,16because it is written, “You shall be holy, for I am holy.”

1Sing to the Lord a new song,for he has done marvelous things!His right hand and his holy arm have worked salvation for him.

2The Lord has made known his salvation.He has openly shown his righteousness in the sight of the nations.3He has remembered his loving kindness and his faithfulness toward the house of Israel.

3All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.4Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth!Burst out and sing for joy, yes, sing praises!

28Peter began to tell him,“Behold, we have left all and have followed you.”

29Jesus said, “Most certainly I tell you,there is no one who has left house,or brothers, or sisters,or father, or mother,or wife, or children,or land, for my sake,and for the sake of the Good News,30but he will receive one hundred times more now in this time:houses, brothers, sisters,mothers, children,and land, with persecutions;and in the age to come eternal life.31But many who are first will be last, and the last first.”
