But now you must be holy in everything you do, just as God who chose you is holy.

那召你们的既是圣洁，你们在一切所行的事上也要圣洁。

但那召你们的既是圣洁，你们在一切所行的事上也要圣洁；

但那召你们的既是圣洁，你们在一切所行的事上也要圣洁；

那呼召你们的是圣洁的，你们在一切事上也要圣洁。

那召你们的既是圣洁的，你们在一切所行的事上也要圣洁。

相反，正如召唤你们的那一位是圣洁的，你们在一切行为上也当成为圣洁的，

那召你們的既是聖潔，你們在一切所行的事上也要聖潔。

但那召你們的既是聖潔，你們在一切所行的事上也要聖潔；

但那召你們的既是聖潔，你們在一切所行的事上也要聖潔；

那呼召你們的是聖潔的，你們在一切事上也要聖潔。

那召你們的既是聖潔的，你們在一切所行的事上也要聖潔。

卻要按召你們者的聖潔樣子、在一切起居為人上也成了聖潔；

相反，正如召喚你們的那一位是聖潔的，你們在一切行為上也當成為聖潔的，

召爾者聖矣、爾之諸行亦宜效其聖、

召爾者乃聖、爾所行亦當若是、

召爾者乃聖、爾當效之、舉動皆聖、

蓋召爾者聖、爾亦宜修身砥行、克肖其聖。

But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do;

The God who chose you is holy. So you should be holy in all that you do.

but as he who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct,

But as the one who called you is holy, you also are to be holy in all your conduct;

but like the Holy One who called you, be holy yourselves also in all your behavior;

but as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct,

but like as he who called you is holy, be ye yourselves also holy in all manner of living;

But as the One who called you is holy, you also are to be holy in all your conduct;

But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;

but, like the Holy One who called you, become holy yourselves in all of your conduct,

but just as he who called you is holy, you yourselves also be holy in all of your behavior;

But you are to be perfect, even as your Father in heaven is perfect.

Because we have these promises, dear friends, let us cleanse ourselves from everything that can defile our body or spirit. And let us work toward complete holiness because we fear God.

Work at living in peace with everyone, and work at living a holy life, for those who are not holy will not see the Lord.

If you are wise and understand God’s ways, prove it by living an honorable life, doing good works with the humility that comes from wisdom.

God’s will is for you to be holy, so stay away from all sexual sin.Then each of you will control his own body and live in holiness and honor—not in lustful passion like the pagans who do not know God and his ways.Never harm or cheat a fellow believer in this matter by violating his wife, for the Lord avenges all such sins, as we have solemnly warned you before.God has called us to live holy lives, not impure lives.

Imitate God, therefore, in everything you do, because you are his dear children.Live a life filled with love, following the example of Christ. He loved us and offered himself as a sacrifice for us, a pleasing aroma to God.

And all who have this eager expectation will keep themselves pure, just as he is pure.

Be careful to live properly among your unbelieving neighbors. Then even if they accuse you of doing wrong, they will see your honorable behavior, and they will give honor to God when he judges the world.

so that no one can criticize you. Live clean, innocent lives as children of God, shining like bright lights in a world full of crooked and perverse people.Hold firmly to the word of life; then, on the day of Christ’s return, I will be proud that I did not run the race in vain and that my work was not useless.

But you are not like that, for you are a chosen people. You are royal priests, a holy nation, God’s very own possession. As a result, you can show others the goodness of God, for he called you out of the darkness into his wonderful light.

We have been rescued from our enemies so we can serve God without fear,in holiness and righteousness for as long as we live.

Above all, you must live as citizens of heaven, conducting yourselves in a manner worthy of the Good News about Christ. Then, whether I come and see you again or only hear about you, I will know that you are standing together with one spirit and one purpose, fighting together for the faith, which is the Good News.

Since everything around us is going to be destroyed like this, what holy and godly lives you should live,looking forward to the day of God and hurrying it along. On that day, he will set the heavens on fire, and the elements will melt away in the flames.But we are looking forward to the new heavens and new earth he has promised, a world filled with God’s righteousness.And so, dear friends, while you are waiting for these things to happen, make every effort to be found living peaceful lives that are pure and blameless in his sight.

Don’t love money; be satisfied with what you have. For God has said,“ I will never fail you. I will never abandon you.”

Our people must learn to do good by meeting the urgent needs of others; then they will not be unproductive.

By his divine power, God has given us everything we need for living a godly life. We have received all of this by coming to know him, the one who called us to himself by means of his marvelous glory and excellence.And because of his glory and excellence, he has given us great and precious promises. These are the promises that enable you to share his divine nature and escape the world’s corruption caused by human desires.In view of all this, make every effort to respond to God’s promises. Supplement your faith with a generous provision of moral excellence, and moral excellence with knowledge,and knowledge with self control, and self control with patient endurance, and patient endurance with godliness,and godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love for everyone.The more you grow like this, the more productive and useful you will be in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.But those who fail to develop in this way are shortsighted or blind, forgetting that they have been cleansed from their old sins.So, dear brothers and sisters, work hard to prove that you really are among those God has called and chosen. Do these things, and you will never fall away.

For the grace of God has been revealed, bringing salvation to all people.And we are instructed to turn from godless living and sinful pleasures. We should live in this evil world with wisdom, righteousness, and devotion to God,while we look forward with hope to that wonderful day when the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, will be revealed.He gave his life to free us from every kind of sin, to cleanse us, and to make us his very own people, totally committed to doing good deeds.

For God saved us and called us to live a holy life. He did this, not because we deserved it, but because that was his plan from before the beginning of time— to show us his grace through Christ Jesus.

But we are citizens of heaven, where the Lord Jesus Christ lives. And we are eagerly waiting for him to return as our Savior.

This is a trustworthy saying, and I want you to insist on these teachings so that all who trust in God will devote themselves to doing good. These teachings are good and beneficial for everyone.

They were calling out to each other,“ Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of Heaven’s Armies! The whole earth is filled with his glory!”

“ Write this letter to the angel of the church in Philadelphia. This is the message from the one who is holy and true, the one who has the key of David. What he opens, no one can close; and what he closes, no one can open:

Don’t let anyone think less of you because you are young. Be an example to all believers in what you say, in the way you live, in your love, your faith, and your purity.

I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us.

In his kindness God called you to share in his eternal glory by means of Christ Jesus. So after you have suffered a little while, he will restore, support, and strengthen you, and he will place you on a firm foundation.

They shouted to the Lord and said,“ O Sovereign Lord, holy and true, how long before you judge the people who belong to this world and avenge our blood for what they have done to us?”

We pleaded with you, encouraged you, and urged you to live your lives in a way that God would consider worthy. For he called you to share in his Kingdom and glory.

Each of these living beings had six wings, and their wings were covered all over with eyes, inside and out. Day after day and night after night they keep on saying,“ Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God, the Almighty— the one who always was, who is, and who is still to come.”

But do this in a gentle and respectful way. Keep your conscience clear. Then if people speak against you, they will be ashamed when they see what a good life you live because you belong to Christ.

And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.For God knew his people in advance, and he chose them to become like his Son, so that his Son would be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters.And having chosen them, he called them to come to him. And having called them, he gave them right standing with himself. And having given them right standing, he gave them his glory.

And we are among those whom he selected, both from the Jews and from the Gentiles.
