For I am the Lord your God; and you shall be sanctified, and you shall be holy, because I the Lord your God am holy; and you shall not defile your souls with any of the reptiles creeping upon the earth.

Speak to the congregation of the children of Israel, and you shall say to them, You shall be holy, for I the Lord your God [am] holy.

just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before Him in love,

Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on hearts of compassion, kindness, humility, meekness, patience;

For this is [the] will of God, your sanctification: that you should abstain from fornication,

For God did not call us to uncleanness, but in sanctification.

Pursue peace and holiness with all [people], without which no one shall see the Lord:

but as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all manner of life,

because it is written, "Be holy, for I am holy."
