1 Peter 1:13-16
13 Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind:
be sober, and trust perfectly on that grace that
is brought unto you, in the revelation of Jesus
Christ,
14 As obedient children, not fashioned yourselves
unto the former lusts of your ignorance:
15 But as he which hath called you, is holy, so be
ye holy in all manner of conversation,
16 Because it is written, Be ye holy, for I am
holy.

Editor’s thought - In Exodus 3:5, Moses was instructed to remove his sandals for he was standing on sacred ground. We being temples of God, housing his spirit after rebirth should likewise realize that we are now in effect “holy ground” and act accordingly.
This is very interesting scriptures, I enjoy the Apostle Peter's writing. Some times we get to complicated for God. Not understanding that our Lord wants us to be as children, children in sin, children in love, children in obedience. Not getting into the things that the Lord (Our Father) would want us not to indulge in. It is not a smooth ground, but it is a holy one! Be Blessed
