14 Pursue peace with all men, and holiness, without which, no one shall see the Lord:
3 But whoredom, and all uncleanness, and inordinate desire- let them not even be named among you; (as it becomes saints;)
15 but as he who has called you is holy, be you also holy;
16 «for it is written,» 'Be you holy, because I am holy.'
3 But whoredom, and all uncleanness, and inordinate desire- let them not even be named among you; (as it becomes saints;)
3 for this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that you should abstain from whoredom-
4 that every one of you should know how to possess his own body in sanctification and honor-
5 not in the passion of lust, even as the Gentiles who know not God.
6 That no man should go beyond bounds, or defraud his brother in this matter, because the Lord is an avenger of all such;
7 for God has not called us to impurity, but to holiness.
5 Now let this disposition be in you which was also in Christ Jesus;
16 Do you not know that you are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells among you?
1 Wherefore, having these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all pollution of flesh and spirit; perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
16 A lamp is never lighted to be covered with a vessel, or put under a bed; but to be set on a stand, that they who enter may see the light.
21 Even you, who were formerly alienated in mind, and enemies by wicked works,
22 he has now, indeed, reconciled, by the body of his flesh, to present you holy and unblameable, and unreproveable, in his sight;
23 if, indeed, you continue in the faith founded and stable, and not removed from the hope of the gospel which you have heard, which has been proclaimed to every creature which is under heaven; of which I, Paul, am made a minister.
9 who has saved us, and called us with a holy calling, -not on account of our works; but on account of his own purpose and favor, which was given us through Christ Jesus, before the times of the ages,
4 according as he has elected us in him, before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy, and unblameable in his sight; in love,
22 that, with respect to your former conduct, you put away the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;
23 that you be renewed in the spirit of your minds;
24 and that you put on the new man; which, after God, is created in righteousness and true holiness.
17 Consecrate them by the truth; thy word is the truth.
15 but as he who has called you is holy, be you also holy;
16 «for it is written,» 'Be you holy, because I am holy.'
22 But now, being set free from sin, and having become servants of God, you have your fruit to holiness: and the end, everlasting life.
1 Wherefore, having these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all pollution of flesh and spirit; perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
2 to the congregation of God which is in Corinth, sanctified by Christ Jesus, called saints; with all, in every place, who invoke the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, both their Lord and ours:
14 Pursue peace with all men, and holiness, without which, no one shall see the Lord:
1 Wherefore, brethren, I beseech you, by the tender mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.
19 (I speak after the manner of men, because of the infirmity of your flesh.) Wherefore, as you have presented your members servants to uncleanness, and to iniquity, to work iniquity; so present now your members, servants to righteousness, to work holiness.
48 Be you therefore perfect, as your father who is in heaven is perfect.
17 Now, I beseech you, brethren, mark them who make separations and occasions of falling, contrary to the doctrine which you have learned; and avoid them.
1 Wherefore, if there be any consolation in Christ; if any comfort of love; if any fellowship of the Spirit; if any sympathies and tender mercies,
2 complete this my joy, that you be likeminded; having the very same love, being unanimous, minding the one thing.
3 Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory, but, in humbleness of mind esteem each other better that yourselves:
4 not aiming every one at his own interests, but every one also, at the interests of the others.
5 Now let this disposition be in you which was also in Christ Jesus;
6 who, though he was in the form of God, did not affect to appear in divine majesty;
7 but divested himself, taking upon him the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men;
8 and being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient to death, even the death of the cross.
9 And for this reason, God has exceedingly exalted him, and has bestowed on him a name which is above every name;
10 that, at the name of Jesus, every knee should bow; of those in heaven, and upon the earth, and under the earth;
11 and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
12 Wherefore, my beloved, since you have always obeyed, not in my presence only, but now much more in my absence; effectually work out your own salvation, with fear and trembling;
13 for it is God who works effectually in you, both to will and to perform, on account of his benevolence.
14 Do all things without murmurings and disputings;
15 that you may be blameless and harmless, the children of God, unblemished in the midst of a crooked and perverse race; among whom shine as lights in the world,
16 holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, nor have labored in vain.
17 Yes, and if I be made a drink-offering upon the sacrifice and ministry of your faith, I joy and rejoice with you all;
18 and for the same do you also joy and rejoice with me.
19 Now I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon, that I also may be of good courage, that I also may be of good courage, when I know your affairs.
20 For I have no one like disposed, who will sincerely take care of your affairs;
21 for all seek their own, not the things of Jesus Christ.
22 But you know the proof of him, that, as a son with a father, so he has served with me in the gospel.
23 Now, indeed, I hope to send him immediately, as soon as I shall see how it will go with me.
24 However, I am fully persuaded by the Lord, that even I myself shall soon come.
25 Yet I thought it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother and fellowlabourer, and fellowsoldier; but your Apostle, and a minister to my want.
26 For he longed after you all, and was exceedingly grieved, because you had heard that he had been sick.
27 And, indeed, he was sick nigh to death: but God had mercy on him; and not on him only, but on me also, that I might not have sorrow upon sorrow.
28 Wherefore I have sent him the more speedily, that seeing him again, you may rejoice, and that I may be the more free from sorrow.
29 Receive him, therefore, in the Lord, with all joy, and have such persons in great estimation;
30 because for the work of Christ, he drew nigh to death, not regarding his life, that he might fully supply the want of your service toward me.
