Hebrews 9:13

For if the blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling those who have been defiled sanctify for the cleansing of the flesh,

and he made no distinction between us and them, but cleansed their hearts by faith.

Since you have purified your souls by obedience to the truth for a sincere love of the brethren, love one another earnestly from the heart.
