I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God,[ which is] your reasonable service.
For I[ am] the LORD your God: ye shall therefore sanctify yourselves, and ye shall be holy; for I[ am] holy: neither shall ye defile yourselves with any manner of creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.For I[ am] the LORD that bringeth you up out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: ye shall therefore be holy, for I[ am] holy.
