Finally then, brethren, we urge and exhort in the Lord Jesus that you should abound more and more, just as you received from us how you ought to walk and to please God;

that you may walk properly toward those who are outside, and that you may have need of nothing.

I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.

I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you to walk worthy of the calling with which you were called,

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.

For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light

Only, let your conduct be worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of your affairs, that you stand firm in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel,

that you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him, bearing fruit in every good work and growing into the full true knowledge of God;

As you have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him,

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.

If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth.

But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from every sin.

He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked.

He who calls you is faithful, who also will do it.

Moreover whom He predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified.

and that He might make known the riches of His glory on vessels of mercy, which He had prepared beforehand unto glory,

whom He also called, not only of us Jews, but also of the Gentiles?

God is faithful, through whom you were called into the fellowship of His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

Therefore we also pray always for you that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfill all the good pleasure of His goodness and the work of faith with power,

that the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and you in Him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.

But we owe thanks to God always for you, brethren beloved by the Lord, because God from the beginning chose you for salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief in the truth,

to which He called you through our gospel, for the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was given to us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time,

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

But you are an elect race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people of His possession, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;

not returning evil for evil or reviling for reviling, but on the contrary blessing, knowing that you were called to this, in order that you may inherit blessing.

But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory in Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you.
