Therefore, dear friends, since we have such promises, let us cleanse ourselves from every impurity of the flesh and spirit, completing our sanctification in the fear of God.

You took off

your former way of life, the old self

that is corrupted by deceitful desires;

to make her holy, cleansing her with the washing of water by the word.

Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely. And may your spirit, soul, and body be kept sound and blameless for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

for we all stumble in many ways. If anyone does not stumble in what he says, he is a mature man who is also able to control his whole body.

But if we walk in the light as He Himself is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin.

But

You are absolutely beautiful, my darling,
with no imperfection in you.

In those days and at that time—
this is the Lord’s declaration—
one will search for Israel’s guilt,
but there will be none,
and for Judah’s sins,
but they will not be found,
for I will forgive those I leave as a remnant.

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away, and look, new things have come.

Ye

You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you.
