In 1 Peter 1:16, he quotes Leviticus 11:44: “Be holy, for I am holy.” But he prefaces it by explaining that holiness is not achieved by keeping the law, but by the grace bestowed upon all who believe in Christ (v. 13).
Katika 1 Petro 1:16, alinukuu Mambo ya Walawi 11:44: "Muwe watakatifu, kwa kuwa mimi ni mtakatifu." Lakini anautanguliza kwa kueleza kwamba utakatifu haupatikani kwa kushika sheria, bali kwa neema iliyotawazwa kwa wote wanaoamini katika Kristo (mst. 13).
