3 As Gods people, you should not even talk about wrong living, any kind of wrong sex or wanting things you cannot have.
14 Try to be at peace with all people. And try to be holy. If a person is not holy, he will not see the Lord.
15 But be holy in all the things you do. Be holy because the one who has called you is holy.
16 God says in the holy writings, You must be holy, because I am holy.
9 God saved us and called us to live a holy life. He did not do it because of the good things we have done. He did it because he himself planned to do it, and wanted to do it. That was the blessing he gave us in Christ Jesus. He had this plan before he made the world.
3 This is what God wants. He wants you to live clean lives. He wants you to keep away from wrong sex.
4 Each of you should know how to control yourself. Honour your body to make it holy.
5 Do not have sex with a person you are not married to. Control your strong feelings. Do not act like the people who do not know God.
6 Do not do wrong to your Christian brother by taking his wife for yourself. The Lord will surely punish all those who do wrong in these things. We have already told you that and made it very clear.
7 God did not call us to live unclean lives. He wants you to live clean and holy lives.
4 Before the world was made, God chose us in Christ. He chose us that we should be holy and good before him.
22 Stop being the person you used to be in your old life. That person was bad because he wanted to do wrong things.
23 Have a new mind and heart.
24 Be a new person. That new person has been made like God. He does what is right and holy because he knows the truth.
5 Think the same way Jesus Christ thought.
48 You must be good in every way, as your Father in heaven is good in every way.
16 You know that you are Gods house. The spirit of God lives in you.
1 My dear people, since God has promised us these things, we should make ourselves clean. We should clean out everything that makes our lives or our spirits dirty. We should try to be altogether holy because we respect God with fear. place in your hearts. We have not done wrong to anyone. We have not hurt anyone. We have not taken anything from anyone.
17 Make them clean by the true word and keep them for yourself. Your word is true.
16 No person lights a lamp and covers it with a basket or puts it under a bed. But he puts it on the place for a lamp. Then people who come in can see the light.
22 But now you have been made free from wrong ways and you have been made Gods slaves. You are made good and you will live for ever.
17 Brothers, I ask you to do this. Watch the people who make quarrels. They make people do wrong because they teach things you have not been taught. Have nothing to do with those people.
2 Our Christian brother Sosthenes and I send greetings to the people who are the church of God in the city of Corinth. You are people whom Christ Jesus has made holy. You, too, are chosen to be Gods people. And we send greetings to all the people everywhere who call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. He is their Lord, just as he is our Lord.
21 At one time you were far away from God. You hated him in your hearts and you did wrong things.
22 But now Christ himself has died on a cross, and he has brought you back to God. Christ will bring you before God holy, clean, and good.
23 But you must keep on believing and stand strong and true. Let nothing shake the hope which the good news brought you. You heard the same good news as is told to everyone in the whole world. I, Paul, was given the work of telling that same good news.
19 I speak the way people would think about such things, because your minds are weak. At one time you gave your bodies to be slaves to your unclean ways, and to do more and more wrong things. So now give your bodies to be slaves to doing what is right, and to being good.
1 God has been kind to you. So I ask you, brothers, give your bodies to him like a living sacrifice. That is, a holy sacrifice. It will please God. And it is what you should do for him.
