⁴⁰ so that ye remember and have done all My commands, and ye have been holy to your God;

⁴⁴ `For I `am' Jehovah your God, and ye have sanctified yourselves, and ye have been holy, for I `am' holy; and ye do not defile your persons with any teeming thing which is creeping on the earth;

⁴⁵ for I `am' Jehovah who am bringing you up out of the land of Egypt to become your God; and ye have been holy, for I `am' holy.

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;

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

² `Speak unto all the company of the sons of Israel, and thou hast said unto them, Ye are holy, for holy `am' I, Jehovah, your God.

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,

² to the saints in Colossae, and to the faithful brethren in Christ: Grace to you, and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ!

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;'
