²³ And I will ^(A)vindicate the holiness of My great name which has been profaned among the nations, which you have profaned among them. Then the ^(B)nations will know that I am the Lord,” declares the Lord God, “when I show Myself holy among you in their sight.

²⁴ For “^(A)the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles ^(B)because of you,” just as it is written.
