⁶ And you shall be to Me a ^(A)kingdom of priests and a ^(B)holy nation.’ These are the words which you shall speak to the children of Israel.”

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.

^7 (A)Consecrate^[a] yourselves therefore, and be holy, for I am the Lord your God.

²⁶ And you shall be holy to Me, ^(A)for I the Lord am holy, and have separated you from the peoples, that you should be Mine.

⁴ just as ^(A)He chose us in Him ^(B)before the foundation of the world, that we should ^(C)be holy and without blame before Him in love,

¹⁶ because it is written, ^(A)“Be holy, for I am holy.”
