Verse 15 But as he which hath called you is holy.

God called you. God is holy. Now, as you are called of God, and are his children, God is your Father. Every obedient child seeks to please, and, as far as in him lies, strives to be like that Father in character and conduct. His obligation and duty is to be holy, for these rest upon the relationship which subsists between father and child.

In all manner of conversation.

The holy character is to be exhibited in everything you say or do; your whole manner of living, your behavior in every respect. In all this you must seek a close imitation of the divine model.
