1 PETER 1:18 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers;”
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 — the redemption (lytrōō, ransomed) from the 'futile way of life' (mataias anastrosphēs) inherited from ancestors (patroparadotos) is specifically not accomplished through corruptible treasures (phthartois, perishing things). The inheritance received from ancestors was spiritually empty (mataios), requiring redemptive transformation.
