⁷ Clean out the old leaven so that you may be a new lump, just as you are in fact unleavened. For Christ our ^(A)Passover also has been sacrificed.

¹⁴ who ^(A)gave Himself for us ^(B)to redeem us from every lawless deed, and to ^(C)purify for Himself a ^(D)people for His own possession, ^(E)eager for good deeds.

²² Since you have ^(A)purified your souls ^(B)in obedience to the truth for a ^(C)sincere love of the brothers and sisters, fervently love one another from ^[a]the heart,

⁹ and ^(A)He made no distinction between us and them, ^(B)cleansing their hearts by faith.

Paul Reveals His Heart

7 Therefore, having these promises, ^(A)beloved, ^(B)let’s cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
