⁶ And you shall be to Me a ^(A)kingdom of priests and a ^(B)holy nation.’ These are the words which you shall speak to the children of Israel.”

² “Speak to all the congregation of the children of Israel, and say to them: ^(A)‘You shall be holy, for I the Lord your God am holy.

^7 (A)Consecrate^[a] yourselves therefore, and be holy, for I am the Lord your God.

²⁶ And you shall be holy to Me, ^(A)for I the Lord am holy, and have separated you from the peoples, that you should be Mine.

^48 (A)Therefore you shall be perfect, just ^(B)as your Father in heaven is perfect.

⁷ For God did not call us to uncleanness, ^(A)but in holiness.

^15 (A)but as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct,

¹⁶ because it is written, ^(A)“Be holy, for I am holy.”

¹¹ He who is unjust, let him be unjust still; he who is filthy, let him be filthy still; he who is righteous, let him ^[a]be righteous still; he who is holy, let him be holy still.”
