²⁶ The thoughts of the wicked are an abomination to the Lord: but the words of the pure are pleasant words.

⁸ Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.

¹⁰ That ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offence till the day of Christ.

²² Lay hands suddenly on no man, neither be partaker of other men's sins: keep thyself pure.

¹⁵ Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled.

³ And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.
