Therefore having these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilements of flesh and of spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
The one acting unjustly, let him still act unjustly; and the filthy one, let him still be filthy; and the righteous one, let him still do righteousness; and the holy one, let him still be holy.
