8 »Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.«
14 Be ever on your guard against a grudging and contentious spirit,
15 so that you may always prove yourselves to be blameless and spotless–irreproachable children of God in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you are seen as heavenly lights in the world,
16 holding out to them a Message of Life. It will then be my glory on the day of Christ that I did not run my race in vain nor toil in vain.
3 And every man who has this hope fixed on Him, purifies himself so as to be as pure as He is.
9 And it is my prayer that your love may be more and more accompanied by clear knowledge and keen perception, for testing things that differ,
10 so that you may be men of transparent character, and may be blameless, in preparation for the day of Christ,
11 being filled with these fruits of righteousness which come through Jesus Christ– to the glory and praise of God.
22 Keep a strong curb, however, on your youthful cravings; and strive for integrity, good faith, love, peace, in company with all who pray to the Lord with pure hearts.
5 But the end sought to be secured by exhortation is the love which springs from a pure heart, a clear conscience and a sincere faith.
2 Dear friends, we are now God's children, but what we are to be in the future has not yet been fully revealed. We know that if Christ reappears we shall be like Him, because we shall see Him as He is.
3 And every man who has this hope fixed on Him, purifies himself so as to be as pure as He is.
22 Now that, through your obedience to the truth, you have purified your souls for cherishing sincere brotherly love, you must love another heartily and fervently.
