16 because it is written: “You shall be holy, for I am holy.”
17 If you address as Father the One who impartially judges according to each one’s work, conduct yourselves in fear during the time of your stay on earth; 18 knowing that you were not redeemed with perishable things like silver or gold from your futile way of life inherited from your forefathers, 19 but with precious blood, as of a lamb unblemished and spotless, the blood of Christ. 20 For He was foreknown before the foundation of the world, but has appeared in these last times for the sake of you
Verse 16
Again, this verse reiterates the fact that we are to be holy because God is holy.
44 For I am the Lord your God. Consecrate yourselves therefore, and be holy, because I am holy. And you shall not make yourselves unclean with any of the swarming things that swarm on the earth. Leviticus 11:44
Verse 17
The Father in this verse is referring to God the Father.
God Judges each one's work the same way for each person, there is no favor for some and not others.

My God, and the rock of my salvation.’ Psalm 89:26

Verse 19
But by the blood of God or as the verse says the blood of Christ.
28 Be on guard for yourselves and for all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the church of God which He purchased with His own blood. Acts 20:29
Verse 20
Creation of the world is what the Common English Bible says.
God has appeared to us in the end days for us.
Us meaning believers might have salvation in God.
