People's Bible Notes for 1 Peter 1:17
1Pe 1:17 If ye call on the Father. In prayer and worship. All call upon him who pray. Who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man's work. He judges us and all men according to the deeds, not station or race. Hence, those who seek his blessings and promises show a reverential fear. That is the first reason given for being holy. Pass the time of your sojourning [here] in fear. The whole life is a period of sojourning on the earth.
