I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, {which is} your reasonable service.

For I {am} the LORD your God: ye shall therefore sanctify yourselves, and ye shall be holy; for I {am} holy: neither shall ye defile yourselves with any manner of creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness.

To the saints and faithful brethren in Christ which are at Colosse: Grace {be} unto you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;

Speak unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, and say unto them, Ye shall be holy: for I the LORD your God {am} holy.

According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:

Therefore shall ye keep my commandments, and do them: I {am} the LORD.

And afterward all the children of Israel came nigh: and he gave them in commandment all that the LORD had spoken with him in mount Sinai.
