Purity

Keep my commandments and live! Guard my teaching as the apple of your eye.

But you, man of God, flee these things, and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, perseverance, and gentleness.

Seeing you have purified your souls in your obedience to the truth through the Spirit in sincere brotherly affection, love one another from the heart fervently,

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

This saying is faithful, and concerning these things I desire that you insist confidently, so that those who have believed God may be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable to men;

For we all stumble in many things. Anyone who doesn’t stumble in word is a perfect person, able to bridle the whole body also.
