I stir

But I think it right, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by a reminder,

Therefore I remind you to inflame anew the gift of God, which is in you by the putting on of my hands.

Pure

He who has clean hands and a pure heart; who has not lifted up his soul to vanity, and has not sworn deceitfully.

A Psalm of Asaph. Truly God is good to Israel, to the pure of heart.

Blessed are the pure in heart! For they shall see God.

Do not lay hands quickly on anyone, neither be partaker of the sins of others. Keep yourself pure.

Purifying your souls in the obedience of the truth through the Spirit to unfeigned love of the brothers, love one another fervently out of a pure heart,

Way

Therefore I will not neglect to put you always in remembrance of these things, though you know them and are established in the present truth.
