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.

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:

Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;

For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication:

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

Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:

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

Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.
