PERFECTING HOLINESS SANCTIFYING THE SOUL THROUGH WALKING IN THE TRUTH. IF WE OBEY THE TRUTH, THE TRUTH WILL CLEANSE OUR SOULS. THE MORE CLEARLY WE UNDERSTAND, THE LESS WE STRUGGLE WITH SIN. WASHING OUT THE UNDERSTANDING BY THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD, PERFECTING HOLINESS IN THE FEAR OF THE LORD, HAVING THEREFORE THESE PROMISES, DEARLY BELOVED, LET US CLEANSE OURSELVES FROM ALL FILTHINESS OF THE FLESH AND SPIRIT, PERFECTING HOLINESS IN THE FEAR OF THE LORD, THIS I SAY THEN, WALK IN THE SPIRIT, AND YOU SHALL NOT FULFILL THE LUST OF THE FLESH, FOR THE FLESH LUSTETH AGAINST THE SPIRIT, AND THE SPIRIT AGAINST THE FLESH, AND THESE ARE CONTRARY THE ONE TO THE OTHER, SO THAT YOU CANNOT DO THE THINGS THAT YOU WOULD, FOR THE GRACE OF GOD THAT BRINGETH SALVATION HAS APPEARED TO ALL MEN, TEACHING US THAT, DENYING UNGODLY AND WORLDLY LUSTS, WE SHOULD LIVE SOBERLY, RIGHTEOUSLY, GODLY, IN THIS PRESENT WORLD, SANCTIFY THEM THROUGH YOUR TRUTH, YOUR WORD IS TRUTH, FOR I REJOICE GREATLY, WHEN THE BRETHREN CAME AND TESTIFIED OF THE TRUTH THAT IS IN YOU, EVEN AS YOU WALK IN THE TRUTH, I HAVE NO GREATER JOY THEN TO HEAR THAT MY CHILDREN WALK IN TRUTH, SEEING YOU HAVE PURIFIED YOUR SOULS IN OBEYING THE TRUTH THROUGH THE SPIRIT UNTO UNFEIGNED LOVE OF THE BRETHREN, SEE THAT YOU LOVE ONE ANOTHER WITH A PURE HEART FERVENTLY, BEING BORN AGAIN, NOT OF CORRUPTIBLE SEED, BUT OF INCORRUPTIBLE , BY THE WORD OF GOD, WHICH LIVETH AND ABIDETH FOREVER, FORASMUCH THEN AS CHRIST HAS SUFFERED FOR US IN THE FLESH, ARM YOURSELVES LIKEWISE WITH THE SAME MIND, FOR HE THAT HAS SUFFERED IN THE FLESH HAS CEASED FROM SIN, WHO HAS SAVED, AND CALLED US WITH AN HOLY CALLING, NOT ACCORDING TO OUR WORKS, BUT ACCORDING TO HIS OWN PURPOSE AND GRACE, WHICH WAS GIVEN US IN CHRIST JESUS BEFORE THE WORLD BEGAN, FOR GOD HAS NOT CALLED US UNTO UNCLEANNESS , BUT UNTO HOLINESS, HE THEREFORE THAT DESPISETH, DESPISETH NOT MAN , BUT GOD, WHO HAS ALSO GIVEN UNTO US HIS HOLY SPIRIT, WHEREFORE GIRD UP THE LOINS OF YOUR MIND, BE SOBER, AND HOPE TO THE END FOR THE GRACE THAT IS TO BE BROUGHT UNTO YOU AT THE REVELATION OF JESUS CHRIST, AS OBEDIENT CHILDREN, NOT FASHIONING YOURSELVES ACCORDING TO THE FORMER LUSTS IN YOUR IGNORANCE, BUT AS HE WHICH HAS CALLED YOU IS HOLY, SO BE YOU HOLY IN ALL MANNER OF CONVERSATION, BECAUSE IT IS WRITTEN, BE YOU HOLY, FOR I AM HOLY, 2 Corinthians 7:1 Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God. Titus2:11 For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, 12 Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; 2 Timothy 1:9 - Who hath saved us, and called [us] with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began, 1Thes4:7 For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness. 8 He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not man, but God, who hath also given unto us his holy Spirit. 1 Peter 4:1.Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin; 1Peter1:[22] Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently: 23Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever. Galatians 5:16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. 17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. John17:17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. 3Jo 1:3 For I rejoiced greatly, when the brethren came and testified of the truth that is in thee, even as thou walkest in the truth. 3Jo 1:4 I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth. 2 John 1:2 For the truths sake, which dwelleth in us, and shall be with us for ever. 1 Peter 1:13-16 Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; [14] As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance: [15] But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; [16] Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.
