And when Abram was ninety-nine years old, Jehovah appeared to Abram and said to him, I am the Almighty God! Walk before Me and be perfect;

For I am Jehovah your God. You shall therefore sanctify yourselves, and you shall be holy; for I am holy. Neither shall you defile yourselves with any swarming thing that swarms on the earth.

Speak to all the congregation of the children of Israel, and say to them: You shall be holy, for I Jehovah your God am holy.

And you shall be holy unto Me, for I, Jehovah, am holy, and have set you apart from the peoples, that you should be Mine.

You shall be perfect before Jehovah your God.

There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and the man was perfect and upright, and one who feared God and turned away from evil.

And seven sons and three daughters were born to him.

Also, his possessions were seven thousand sheep, three thousand camels, five hundred yoke of oxen, five hundred female donkeys, and a very large household, so that this man was the greatest of all the people of the East.

Observe the perfect and consider the upright one; for the latter time of that man is peace.

Therefore be merciful, just as your Father also is merciful.

A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone who has been fitted out will be like his teacher.

Therefore, having these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilements of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

For we rejoice when we are weak and you are strong. And this also we pray, that you may be made complete.

Finally, brethren, rejoice. Become complete. Be encouraged, be of one mind, be at peace; and the God of love and peace will be with you.

Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold, since Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me.

I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

Him we preach, warning every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man complete in Christ Jesus.

Epaphras, who is one of you, a bondservant of Christ, greets you, always laboring fervently for you in prayers, that you may stand complete and full-grown in all the will of God;

But let patience have its perfecting work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.

but as He who called you is holy, you also become holy in all conduct,

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

Let your light so shine before men, so that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in Heaven.

that you may become sons of your Father in Heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.

For this reason I, Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for you Gentiles;

Therefore be imitators of God as beloved children.

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

And everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself, just as He is pure.
