² "Speak to all the congregation of the children of Israel, and tell them, 'You shall be holy; for I Yahweh your God am holy.

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."

²⁶ You shall be holy to me: for I, Yahweh, am holy, and have set you apart from the peoples, that you should be mine.

⁷ "'Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be holy; for I am Yahweh your God.

⁴⁴ For I am Yahweh your God. Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be holy; for I am holy: neither shall you defile yourselves with any kind of creeping thing that moves on the earth.

⁴⁵ For I am Yahweh who brought you up out of the land of Egypt, to be your God. You shall therefore be holy, for I am holy.

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

⁶ and you shall be to me a kingdom of priests, and a holy nation.' These are the words which you shall speak to the children of Israel."

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

¹⁴ Don't be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what communion has light with darkness?

¹⁵ What agreement has Christ with Belial? Or what portion has a believer with an unbeliever?

¹⁶ What agreement has a temple of God with idols? For you are a temple of the living God. Even as God said, "I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they will be my people."

³ Do two walk together, Unless they have agreed?

³ One called to another, and said, "Holy, holy, holy, is Yahweh of Hosts! The whole earth is full of his glory!"

⁴ The foundations of the thresholds shook at the voice of him who called, and the house was filled with smoke.

⁸ You shall sanctify him therefore; for he offers the bread of your God: he shall be holy to you: for I Yahweh, who sanctify you, am holy.
