⁴⁴ For I am the Lord your ^(A)God. You shall therefore consecrate yourselves, and ^(B)you shall be holy; for I am holy. Neither shall you defile yourselves with any creeping thing that creeps on the earth.

^45 (A)For I am the Lord who brings you up out of the land of Egypt, to be your God. ^(B)You shall therefore be holy, for I am holy.

Living Sacrifices to God

12 I ^(A)beseech^[a] you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies ^(B)a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your ^[b]reasonable service.

^22 (A)in the body of His flesh through death, ^(B)to present you holy, and blameless, and above reproach in His sight—

^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.”
