15 but *like the Holy One who called you, *be holy yourselves also in all your behavior; 16 because it is written: "You shall be holy, for I am holy."

4 just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and blameless before *Him. In love

3 For this is the will of God, your sanctification; that is, that you abstain from sexual immorality; 4 that each of you know how to *possess his own *vessel in sanctification and honor, 5 not in *lustful passion, like the Gentiles who do not know God; 6 and that no one violate the rights and take advantage of his brother or sister in the matter, because the Lord is the avenger in all these things, just as we also told you previously and solemnly warned you.7 For God has not called us for *impurity, but in sanctification.

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 granted to us in Christ Jesus from all eternity,

3 Yet You are holy,

You who *are enthroned upon the praises of Israel.

2 "There is no one holy like the Lord,

Indeed, there is no one besides You,

Nor is there any rock like our God.

15 For this is what the high and exalted One

Who *lives forever, whose name is Holy, says:

"I dwell in a high and holy place,

And also with the contrite and lowly of spirit

In order to revive the spirit of the lowly

And to revive the heart of the contrite.

23 So I will prove Myself great, show Myself holy, and make Myself known in the sight of many nations; and they will know that I am the Lord." ’

23 And I will vindicate the holiness of My great name which has been profaned among the nations, which you have profaned among them. Then the nations will know that I am the Lord," declares the Lord God, "when I show Myself holy among you in their sight.

14 Pursue peace with all people, and the holiness without which no one will see the Lord.

14 Pursue peace with all people, and the holiness without which no one will see the Lord.

1 Therefore, having these promises, beloved, let’s cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

1 Therefore, having these promises, beloved, let’s cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

22 But now having been freed from sin and enslaved to God, you *derive your *benefit, *resulting in sanctification, and the outcome, eternal life.

19 I am speaking *in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh. For just as you presented *the parts of your body as slaves to impurity and to lawlessness, *resulting in further lawlessness, so now present *your body’s parts as slaves to righteousness, *resulting in sanctification.

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

17 Now I urge you, brothers and sisters, keep your eye on those who cause dissensions and *hindrances contrary to the teaching which you learned, and turn away from them.

3 But sexual immorality *or any impurity or greed must not even be mentioned among you, as is proper among *saints;

3 But sexual immorality *or any impurity or greed must not even be mentioned among you, as is proper among *saints;

22 that, in reference to your former way of life, you are to rid yourselves of the old *self, which is being corrupted in accordance with the lusts of deceit, 23 and that you are to be renewed in the spirit of your minds, 24 and to put on the new *self, which *in the likeness of God has been created in righteousness and holiness of the truth.

21 And although you were previously alienated and hostile in attitude, engaged in evil deeds, 22 yet He has now reconciled you in His body of flesh through death, in order to present you before Him holy and blameless and beyond reproach— 23 if indeed you continue in *the faith firmly established and steadfast, and not shifting from the hope of the gospel that you have heard, which was proclaimed in all creation under heaven, and of which I, Paul, *was made a *minister.

17 Sanctify them in the truth; Your word is truth.

9 How can a young man keep his way pure?

By keeping it according to Your word.

23 Search me, God, and know my heart;

Put me to the test and know my anxious thoughts;

24 And see if there is any*hurtful way in me,

And lead me in the everlasting way.

1 Bless the Lord, my soul,

And all that is within me, bless His holy name.

16 Do you not know that you are a *temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?

2 To the church of God which is in Corinth, to those who have been sanctified in Christ Jesus, *saints by calling, with all who in every place call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, their Lord and ours:

5 Have this attitude *in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus,

1 Therefore if there is any encouragement in Christ, if any consolation of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any *affection and compassion, 2 make my joy complete *by being of the same mind, maintaining the same love, united in spirit, intent on one purpose. 3 Do nothing *from *selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility consider one another as more important than yourselves; 4 do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others. 5 Have this attitude *in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus, 6 who, as He already existed in the form of God, did not consider equality with God something to be *grasped, 7 but *emptied Himself by taking the form of a bond-servant and*being born in the likeness of men. 8 And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death: death *on a cross. 9 For this reason also God highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name, 10 so that at the name of Jesus every knee will bow, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and that every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

12 So then, my beloved, just as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling; 13 for it is God who is at work in you, both to *desire and to work for His good pleasure.

14 Do all things without complaining or arguments; 15 so that you will *prove yourselves to be blameless and innocent, children of God above reproach in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you *appear as *lights in the world, 16 holding firmly the word of life, so that on the day of Christ I can take pride because I did not run in vain nor labor in vain. 17 But even if I am being poured out as a drink offering upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I rejoice and share my joy with you all. 18 You too, I urge you, rejoice in the same way and share your joy with me.

19 But I hope, *in the Lord Jesus, to send Timothy to you shortly, so that I also may be encouraged when I learn of your condition. 20 For I have no one else of kindred spirit who will genuinely be concerned for your welfare. 21 For they all seek after their own interests, not those of Christ Jesus. 22 But you know of his proven character, that he served with me in the furtherance of the gospel like a child serving his father. 23 Therefore I hope to send him immediately, as soon as I see how things go with me; 24 and I trust in the Lord that I myself will also be coming shortly. 25 But I thought it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother and fellow worker and fellow soldier, who is also your *messenger and minister to my need, 26 because he was longing *for you all and was distressed because you had heard that he was sick. 27 For indeed he was sick to the point of death, but God had mercy on him, and not only on him but also on me, so that I would not have sorrow upon sorrow. 28 Therefore I have sent him all the more eagerly, so that when you see him again you may rejoice and I may be less concerned about you.29 Receive him then in the Lord with all joy, and hold people like him in high regard, 30 because he came close to death *for the work of Christ, risking his life to compensate *for your absence in your service to me.

48 Therefore you shall be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.

16 "Now no one lights a lamp and covers it over with a container, or puts it under a bed; but he puts it on a lampstand so that those who come in may see the light.

14 Seek good and not evil, so that you may live;

And so may the Lord God of armies be with you,

Just as you have said!

10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom,

And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.

25 It is a trap for a person to say carelessly, "It is holy!"

And after the vows to make inquiry.

26 So you are to be holy to Me, for I the Lord am holy; and I have singled you out from the peoples to be Mine.

26 So you are to be holy to Me, for I the Lord am holy; and I have singled you out from the peoples to be Mine.

7 You shall consecrate yourselves therefore and be holy, for I am the Lord your God.

4 Sing to God, sing praises to His name;

*Exalt Him who rides through the deserts,

Whose name is *the Lord, and be jubilant before Him.

5 A father of the fatherless and a judge *for the widows,

Is God in His holy dwelling.
