3 And everyone who ^hthus hopes in him ⁱpurifies himself as he is pure.

1 Since we have these promises, beloved, ^jlet us cleanse ourselves from every defilement of body¹ and spirit, bringing holiness to completion in the fear of God.

7 For ^rGod has not called us for ^simpurity, but in holiness.

14 ^sStrive for peace with everyone, and for the ^tholiness ^uwithout which no one will see the Lord.
