Responsive Reading: 1Peter 1:13-25  Be Holy

 Leader: 13 Therefore, with minds that are alert and fully sober, set
your hope on the grace to be brought to you when Jesus Christ is
revealed at his coming.
All: 14 As obedient children, do not conform to the evil desires you
had when you lived in ignorance.
Leader: 15 But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you
do;
All: 16 for it is written: “Be holy, because I am holy.”
Leader: 17 Since you call on a Father who judges each person’s work
impartially, live out your time as foreigners here in reverent fear.
All: 18 For you know that it was not with perishable things such as
silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life
handed down to you from your ancestors,
Leader: 19 but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without
blemish or defect.
All: 20 He was chosen before the creation of the world, but was
revealed in these last times for your sake.
Leader: 21 Through him you believe in God, who raised him from
the dead and glorified him, and so your faith and hope are in God.
All: 22 Now that you have purified yourselves by obeying the truth
so that you have sincere love for each other, love one another deeply,
from the heart.
All: 23 For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of
imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God.
Leader: 24 For,
“All people are like grass,
and all their glory is like the flowers of the field;
the grass withers and the flowers fall,
All: 25 but the word of the Lord endures forever.”
Leader: And this is the word that was preached to you

  Peter’s Vision


Leader: 9 About noon the following day as they were on their
journey and approaching the city, Peter went up on the roof to pray.
All: 10 He became hungry and wanted something to eat, and while
the meal was being prepared, he fell into a trance.
Leader: 11 He saw heaven opened and something like a large sheet
being let down to earth by its four corners.
All: 12 It contained all kinds of four-footed animals, as well as
reptiles and birds.
Leader: 13 Then a voice told him, “Get up, Peter. Kill and eat.”
All: 14 “Surely not, Lord!” Peter replied. “I have never eaten anything
impure or unclean.”
Leader: 15 The voice spoke to him a second time, “Do not call
anything impure that God has made clean.”
All: 16 This happened three times, and immediately the sheet was
taken back to heaven.
Leader: 17 While Peter was wondering about the meaning of the
vision, the men sent by Cornelius found out where Simon’s house
was and stopped at the gate.
All: 18 They called out, asking if Simon who was known as Peter was
staying there.
Leader: 19 While Peter was still thinking about the vision, the Spirit
said to him, “Simon, three[a] men are looking for you.
All: 20 So get up and go downstairs. Do not hesitate to go with
them, for I have sent them.”
Leader: 21 Peter went down and said to the men, “I’m the one you’re
looking for. Why have you come?”
All: 22 The men replied, “We have come from Cornelius the
centurion. He is a righteous and God-fearing man, who is respected
by all the Jewish people. A holy angel told him to ask you to come to
his house so that he could hear what you have to say.”
Leader: 23 Then Peter invited the men into the house to be his
guests.

All: The next day Peter started out with them, and some of the
believers from Joppa went along
