³ But sexual immorality, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not even be mentioned among you, as becomes saints;

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

¹⁵ but just as he who called you is holy, you yourselves also be holy in all of your behavior;

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

¹⁷ If you call on him as Father, who without respect of persons judges according to each man's work, pass the time of your living as strangers here in reverent 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 to us in Christ Jesus before times eternal,

¹⁴ Seek good, and not evil, That you may live; And so Yahweh, the God of hosts, will be with you, As you say.

³ For this is the will of God: your sanctification, that you abstain from sexual immorality,

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 don't know God;

⁶ that no one should take advantage of and wrong a brother or sister in this 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 who rejects doesn't reject man, but God, who has also given his Holy Spirit to you.

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

²² that you put away, as concerning your former way of life, the old man, that grows corrupt after the lusts of deceit;

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

²⁴ and put on the new man, who in the likeness of God has been created in righteousness and holiness of truth.

²⁵ Therefore, putting away falsehood, speak truth each one with his neighbor. For we are members one of another.

¹⁰ The fear of Yahweh is the beginning of wisdom. The knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.

²³ Search me, God, and know my heart. Try me, and know my thoughts.

²⁴ See if there is any wicked way in me, And lead me in the everlasting way.

³ But you are holy, You who inhabit the praises of Israel.

⁵ Have this in your mind, which was also in Christ Jesus,

⁴⁸ Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.

²⁵ It is a snare to a man to make a rash dedication, Then later to consider his vows.

¹⁶ Don't you know that you are a temple of God, and that God's Spirit lives in you?

²³ 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 Yahweh.

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 your truth. Your word is truth.

¹⁶ "No one, when he has lit a lamp, covers it with a container, or puts it under a bed; but puts it on a stand, that those who enter in may see the light.

⁹ How can a young man keep his way pure? By living according to your word.

²² But now, being made free from sin, and having become servants of God, you have your fruit of sanctification, and the result of eternal life.

¹ > Praise Yahweh, my soul! All that is within me, praise his holy name!

¹⁷ Now I beg you, brothers, look out for those who are causing the divisions and occasions of stumbling, contrary to the doctrine which you learned, and turn away from them.

² to the assembly of God which is at Corinth; those who are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all who call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place, both theirs and ours:

²¹ You, being in past times alienated and enemies in your mind in your evil works,

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

²³ if it is so that you continue in the faith, grounded and steadfast, and not moved away from the hope of the Gospel which you heard, which is being proclaimed in all creation under heaven; of which I, Paul, was made a servant.

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 assembly;

⁴ Sing to God! Sing praises to his name! Extol him who rides on the clouds: To Yah, his name! Rejoice before him!

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

⁶ God sets the lonely in families. He brings out the prisoners with singing, But the rebellious dwell in a sun-scorched land.

¹⁹ I speak in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh, for as you presented your members as servants to uncleanness and to wickedness upon wickedness, even so now present your members as servants to righteousness for sanctification.

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

¹ Therefore I urge you, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service.

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