All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes, but Yahweh weighs the motives.

For by one offering he has perfected forever those who are being sanctified.

The Rock: his work is perfect, for all his ways are just. A God of faithfulness who does no wrong, just and right is he.

Sing to God! Sing praises to his name! Extol him who rides on the clouds: to Yah, his name! Rejoice before him! A father of the fatherless, and a defender of the widows, is God in his holy habitation.

No one, when he has lit a lamp, covers it with a container or puts it under a bed; but puts it on a stand, that those who enter in may see the light.

It is a snare to a man to make a rash dedication, then later to consider his vows.

Praise Yahweh, my soul! All that is within me, praise his holy name!

Seek good, and not evil, that you may live; and so Yahweh, the God of Armies, will be with you, as you say.

A highway will be there, a road, and it will be called “The Holy Way”. The unclean shall not pass over it, but it will be for those who walk in the Way. Wicked fools shall not go there.

For the high and lofty One who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy, says: “I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also who is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite.”

Therefore I urge you, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service.

You shall be holy to me, for I, Yahweh, am holy, and have set you apart from the peoples, that you should be mine.

Have this in your mind, which was also in Christ Jesus.

Follow after peace with all men, and the sanctification without which no man will see the Lord.

But sexual immorality, and all uncleanness or covetousness, let it not even be mentioned among you, as becomes saints.

“I will sanctify my great name, which has been profaned among the nations, which you have profaned among them. Then the nations will know that I am Yahweh,” says the Lord Yahweh, “when I am proven holy in you before their eyes.”

There is no one as holy as Yahweh, for there is no one besides you, nor is there any rock like our God.

Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.

But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, that you may proclaim the excellence of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.

I will magnify myself and sanctify myself, and I will make myself known in the eyes of many nations. Then they will know that I am Yahweh.

But now, being made free from sin and having become servants of God, you have your fruit of sanctification and the result of eternal life.

Search me, God, and know my heart. Try me, and know my thoughts. See if there is any wicked way in me, and lead me in the everlasting way.

How can a young man keep his way pure? By living according to your word.

Now I beg you, brothers, look out for those who are causing the divisions and occasions of stumbling, contrary to the doctrine which you learned, and turn away from them.

If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy him; for God’s temple is holy, which you are.

Don’t you know that you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit lives in you?

But just as he who called you is holy, you yourselves also be holy in all of your behavior, because it is written, “You shall be holy, for I am holy.”

Who saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given to us in Christ Jesus before times eternal.

For this is the will of God: your sanctification, that you abstain from sexual immorality, that each one of you know how to control his own body in sanctification and honor, not in the passion of lust, even as the Gentiles who don’t know God.

Do all things without complaining and arguing, that you may become blameless and harmless, children of God without defect in the middle of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you are seen as lights in the world, holding up the word of life.

The fear of Yahweh is the beginning of wisdom. The knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.

Having therefore these promises, beloved, let’s cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
