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

⁴⁴ For ^(A)I am Yahweh your God. Therefore, set yourselves apart as holy and ^(B)be holy, for I am holy. And you shall not make yourselves unclean with any of the swarming things that move on the earth.

⁷ Therefore, you shall set yourselves apart as holy and ^(A)be holy, for I am Yahweh your God.

²⁶ Thus you shall be holy to Me, for I Yahweh am holy; and I ^(A)have separated you from the peoples to be Mine.

⁴ just as ^(A)He chose us in Him before ^(B)the foundation of the world, that we would be ^(C)holy and blameless before ^[a]Him ^(D)in love,

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