⁷ Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be ye holy; for I am Jehovah your God.

⁴ even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blemish before him in love:

⁴⁴ For I am Jehovah your God: sanctify yourselves therefore, and be ye holy; for I am holy: neither shall ye defile yourselves with any manner of creeping thing that moveth upon the earth.

² Speak unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, and say unto them, Ye shall be holy; for I Jehovah your God am holy.

¹² So then, my beloved, even as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling;

¹³ for it is God who worketh in you both to will and to work, for his good pleasure.

¹² Put on therefore, as God's elect, holy and beloved, a heart of compassion, kindness, lowliness, meekness, longsuffering;

³ For this is the will of God, `even' your sanctification, that ye abstain from fornication;

⁷ For God called us not for uncleanness, but in sanctification.

¹⁴ Follow after peace with all men, and the sanctification without which no man shall see the Lord:

¹⁵ but like as he who called you is holy, be ye yourselves also holy in all manner of living;

¹⁶ because it is written, Ye shall be holy; for I am holy.
