empty way of life

1 Peter 1:17-19

1 Peter 1:17 If you appeal to the Father who judges impartially according to each one’s work, you are to conduct yourselves in reverence during your time living as strangers.
1 Peter 1:18 For you know that you were redeemed from your empty way of life inherited from your fathers, not with perishable things like silver or gold,
1 Peter 1:19 but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of an unblemished and spotless lamb.

empty way of life

We used to be slaves to an empty way of life — which only produced emptiness. Now we have been redeemed by the precious blood of Christ. With that debt paid, we can now live as free people, and pursuit a fruitful life instead.
