You therefore be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.

Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and blasphemy be removed from you, with all malice.

Therefore be imitators of God as beloved children.

And walk in love, just as Christ also loved us and gave Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a fragrant aroma.

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."
