9 Jehovah will establish you as a holy people to himself,+ just as he swore to you,+ because you continue to keep the commandments+ of Jehovah* your God, and you have walked in his ways.

12 And men will certainly call them the holy people,+ those repurchased by Jehovah;+ and you yourself will be called Searched For,* a City Not Left Entirely.+

12 Consequently I entreat YOU by the compassions of God, brothers, to present YOUR bodies+ a sacrifice+ living,+ holy,+ acceptable to God,+ a sacred service*+ with YOUR power of reason.+

14 Pursue peace with all people,+ and the sanctification+ without which no man will see the Lord,+
