³ But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as becometh saints;

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.

¹⁷ And if ye call on him as Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to each man's work, pass the time of your sojourning in fear:

⁹ who saved us, and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before times eternal,

¹⁴ Seek good, and not evil, that ye may live; and so Jehovah, the God of hosts, will be with you, as ye say.

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

⁴ that each one of you know how to possess himself of his own vessel in sanctification and honor,

⁵ not in the passion of lust, even as the Gentiles who know not God;

⁶ that no man transgress, and wrong his brother in the matter: because the Lord is an avenger in all these things, as also we forewarned you and testified.

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

⁸ Therefore he that rejecteth, rejecteth not man, but God, who giveth his Holy Spirit unto you.

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:

²² that ye put away, as concerning your former manner of life, the old man, that waxeth corrupt after the lusts of deceit;

²³ and that ye be renewed in the spirit of your mind,

²⁴ and put on the new man, that after God hath been created in righteousness and holiness of truth.

²⁵ Wherefore, putting away falsehood, speak ye truth each one with his neighbor: for we are members one of another.

¹⁰ The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of wisdom; And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.

²³ Search me, O God, and know my heart: Try me, and know my thoughts;

²⁴ And see if there be any wicked way in me, And lead me in the way everlasting. Psalm 140 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.

³ But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel.

⁵ Have this mind in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:

⁴⁸ Ye therefore shall be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.

²⁵ It is a snare to a man rashly to say, `It is' holy, And after vows to make inquiry.

¹⁶ Know ye not that ye are a temple of God, and `that' the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?

²³ And I will magnify myself, and sanctify myself, and I will make myself known in the eyes of many nations; and they shall know that I am Jehovah.

¹ Having therefore these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

¹⁷ Sanctify them in the truth: thy word is truth.

¹⁶ And no man, when he hath lighted a lamp, covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it under a bed; but putteth it on a stand, that they that enter in may see the light.

⁹ BETH. Wherewith shall a young man cleanse his way? By taking heed `thereto' according to thy word.

²² But now being made free from sin and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto sanctification, and the end eternal life.

¹ Bless Jehovah, O my soul; And all that is within me, `bless' his holy name.

¹⁷ Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them that are causing the divisions and occasions of stumbling, contrary to the doctrine which ye learned: and turn away from them.

² unto the church of God which is at Corinth, `even' them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called `to be' saints, with all that call upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place, their `Lord' and ours:

²¹ And you, being in time past alienated and enemies in your mind in your evil works,

²² yet now hath he reconciled in the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and without blemish and unreproveable before him:

²³ if so be that ye continue in the faith, grounded and stedfast, and not moved away from the hope of the gospel which ye heard, which was preached in all creation under heaven; whereof I Paul was made a minister.

²⁴ Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and fill up on my part that which is lacking of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body's sake, which is the church;

⁴ Sing unto God, sing praises to his name: Cast up a highway for him that rideth through the deserts; His name is Jehovah; and exult ye before him.

⁵ A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, Is God in his holy habitation.

⁶ God setteth the solitary in families: He bringeth out the prisoners into prosperity; But the rebellious dwell in a parched land.

¹⁹ I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye presented your members `as' servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity, even so now present your members `as' servants to righteousness unto sanctification.

²³ And I will sanctify my great name, which hath been profaned among the nations, which ye have profaned in the midst of them; and the nations shall know that I am Jehovah, saith the Lord Jehovah, when I shall be sanctified in you before their eyes.

¹ I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, `which is' your spiritual service.

¹⁵ For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy: I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite.
