Question source
1 Peter
Peter quotes God’s statement, “You shall be holy, for I am holy,” as the reason believers’ conduct should match God’s character (1 Peter 1:15–16). The quotation is presented as a written command that grounds the call to holiness (1 Peter 1:16).

16because it is written, "You shall be holy; for I am holy."
