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

By which will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blemish before him in love:

For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God afore prepared that we should walk in them.

being confident of this very thing, that he who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Jesus Christ:

But we are bound to give thanks to God always for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, for that God chose you from the beginning unto salvation in sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth: whereunto he called you through our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

for it is sanctified through the word of God and prayer.
