Purity

But since we belong to the day, let’s be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and for a helmet, the hope of salvation.

Therefore let’s also, seeing we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, lay aside every weight and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let’s run with perseverance the race that is set before us,

giving thanks to the Father, who made us fit to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light,

But as it is, I wrote to you not to associate with anyone who is called a brother who is a sexual sinner, or covetous, or an idolater, or a slanderer, or a drunkard, or an extortionist. Don’t even eat with such a person.

Jerusalem, wash your heart from wickedness, that you may be saved. How long will your evil thoughts lodge within you?

The path of life leads upward for the wise, to keep him from going downward to Sheol.
