that you may be blameless and guileless, children of God, without fault in the midst of a crooked generation, even being perverted, among whom you shine as luminaries in the world,
And may the God of peace Himself fully sanctify you, and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
so Christ having been once offered “to bear the sins of many,” Christ shall appear a second time without sin to the ones eagerly awaiting Him unto salvation. Isa. 53:12
Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their afflictions, and to keep oneself without blemish from the world.
so that the testing of your faith, much more precious than perishing gold, but being tested through fire, may be found to praise and honor and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ;
as also in all his letters, speaking in them concerning these things, in which are some things hard to understand, which the unlearned and unstable pervert, as also they do the rest of the Scriptures, to their own destruction.
