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

¹⁴ peace pursue with all, and the separation, apart from which no one shall see the Lord,

¹⁵ but according as He who did call you `is' holy, ye also, become holy in all behaviour,

¹⁶ because it hath been written, `Become ye holy, because I am holy;'

¹⁷ and if on the Father ye do call, who without acceptance of persons is judging according to the work of each, in fear the time of your sojourn pass ye,

⁹ who did save us, and did call with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace, that was given to us in Christ Jesus, before the times of the ages,

¹⁴ Seek good, and not evil, that ye may live, And it is so; Jehovah, God of Hosts, `is' with you, as ye said.

³ for this is the will of God -- your sanctification; that ye abstain from the whoredom,

⁴ that each of you know his own vessel to possess in sanctification and honour,

⁵ not in the affection of desire, as also the nations that were not knowing God,

⁶ that no one go beyond and defraud in the matter his brother, because an avenger `is' the Lord of all these, as also we spake before to you and testified,

⁷ for God did not call us on uncleanness, but in sanctification;

⁸ he, therefore, who is despising -- doth not despise man, but God, who also did give His Holy Spirit to us.

⁴ according as He did choose us in him before the foundation of the world, for our being holy and unblemished before Him, in love,

²² ye are to put off concerning the former behaviour the old man, that is corrupt according to the desires of the deceit,

²³ and to be renewed in the spirit of your mind,

²⁴ and to put on the new man, which, according to God, was created in righteousness and kindness of the truth.

²⁵ Wherefore, putting away the lying, speak truth each with his neighbour, because we are members one of another;

¹⁰ The commencement of wisdom `is' the fear of Jehovah, And a knowledge of the Holy Ones `is' understanding.

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

²⁴ And see if a grievous way be in me, And lead me in a way age-during!

³ And Thou `art' holy, Sitting -- the Praise of Israel.

⁵ For, let this mind be in you that `is' also in Christ Jesus,

⁴⁸ ye shall therefore be perfect, as your Father who `is' in the heavens is perfect.

²⁵ A snare to a man `is' he hath swallowed a holy thing, And after vows to make inquiry.

¹⁶ have ye not known that ye are a sanctuary of God, and the Spirit of God doth dwell in you?

²³ And I have magnified Myself, and sanctified Myself, And I have been known before the eyes of many nations, And they have known that I `am' Jehovah!

¹ Having, then, these promises, beloved, may we cleanse ourselves from every pollution of flesh and spirit, perfecting sanctification in the fear of God;

¹⁷ sanctify them in Thy truth, Thy word is truth;

¹⁶ `And no one having lighted a lamp doth cover it with a vessel, or under a couch doth put `it'; but upon a lamp-stand he doth put `it', that those coming in may see the light,

⁹ `Beth.' With what doth a young man purify his path? To observe -- according to Thy word.

²² And now, having been freed from the sin, and having become servants to God, ye have your fruit -- to sanctification, and the end life age-during;

¹ By David. Bless, O my soul, Jehovah, And all my inward parts -- His Holy Name.

¹⁷ And I call upon you, brethren, to mark those who the divisions and the stumbling-blocks, contrary to the teaching that ye did learn, are causing, and turn ye away from them;

² to the assembly of God that is in Corinth, to those sanctified in Christ Jesus, called saints, with all those calling upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place -- both theirs and ours:

²¹ And you -- once being alienated, and enemies in the mind, in the evil works, yet now did he reconcile,

²² in the body of his flesh through the death, to present you holy, and unblemished, and unblameable before himself,

²³ if also ye remain in the faith, being founded and settled, and not moved away from the hope of the good news, which ye heard, which was preached in all the creation that `is' under the heaven, of which I became -- I Paul -- a ministrant.

²⁴ I now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and do fill up the things lacking of the tribulations of the Christ in my flesh for his body, which is the assembly,

⁴ Sing ye to God -- praise His name, Raise up a highway for Him who is riding in deserts, In Jah `is' His name, and exult before Him.

⁵ Father of the fatherless, and judge of the widows, `Is' God in His holy habitation.

⁶ God -- causing the lonely to dwell at home, Bringing out bound ones into prosperity, Only -- the refractory have inhabited a dry place.

¹⁹ In the manner of men I speak, because of the weakness of your flesh, for even as ye did present your members servants to the uncleanness and to the lawlessness -- to the lawlessness, so now present your members servants to the righteousness -- to sanctification,

²³ And I have sanctified My great name, That is profaned among nations, That ye have polluted in your midst, And known have the nations that I `am' Jehovah, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, In My being sanctified in you before your eyes.

¹ I call upon you, therefore, brethren, through the compassions of God, to present your bodies a sacrifice -- living, sanctified, acceptable to God -- your intelligent service;

¹⁵ For thus said the high and exalted One, Inhabiting eternity, and holy `is' His name: `In the high and holy place I dwell, And with the bruised and humble of spirit, To revive the spirit of the humble, And to revive the heart of bruised ones,'
