Աստվածաշնչի համարներ Moral Purity

Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.

But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man.

There is nothing from without a man, that entering into him can defile him: but the things which come out of him, those are they that defile the man.

Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.

Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.

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.

This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.

And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.

But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints;

For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication:

For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness.

Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.

Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled.

Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;

Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.

Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:

Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.

Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.

Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.

But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;

Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.

And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.

Then Jacob said unto his household, and to all that were with him, Put away the strange gods that are among you, and be clean, and change your garments:

Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be ye holy: for I am the Lord your God.

Truly God is good to Israel, even to such as are of a clean heart.

Who can say, I have made my heart clean, I am pure from my sin?

There is a generation that are pure in their own eyes, and yet is not washed from their filthiness.

Thou art of purer eyes than to behold evil, and canst not look on iniquity: wherefore lookest thou upon them that deal treacherously, and holdest thy tongue when the wicked devoureth the man that is more righteous than he?

Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.

Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.

Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God:

Abstain from all appearance of evil.

And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Lay hands suddenly on no man, neither be partaker of other men’s sins: keep thyself pure.

But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.

If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master’s use, and prepared unto every good work.

As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance:

Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; and with the froward thou wilt shew thyself froward.

Blessed is the man unto whom the Lord imputeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile.
