^16 (A)“If a man has an emission of semen, he shall bathe his whole body in water and be unclean until the evening.

¹⁰ “If any man among you becomes ^(A)unclean because of a nocturnal emission, then he shall go outside the camp. He shall not come inside the camp, ¹¹ but when evening comes, he shall ^(B)bathe himself in water, and as the sun sets, he may come inside the camp.

⁴ None of the offspring of Aaron who has a leprous disease or a ^(A)discharge may eat of the holy things ^(B)until he is clean. ^(C)Whoever touches anything that is unclean through contact with the dead or ^(D)a man who has had an emission of semen,

⁵ And anyone who touches his bed ^(A)shall wash his clothes and ^(B)bathe himself in water and be unclean until the evening.

⁷ But ^(A)if we walk in the light, ^(B)as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and ^(C)the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin.

¹¹ Beloved, I urge you ^(A)as sojourners and exiles ^(B)to abstain from the passions of the flesh, ^(C)which wage war against your soul.

7 Since we have these promises, beloved, ^(A)let us cleanse ourselves from every defilement of body^[a] and spirit, bringing holiness to completion in the fear of God.
