Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her,

that he might present the church to himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish.

who gave himself for us to redeem us from all iniquity and to purify for himself a people of his own who are zealous for good deeds.

For we ourselves were once foolish, disobedient, led astray, slaves to various passions and pleasures, passing our days in malice and envy, hated by men and hating one another;

he saved us, not because of deeds done by us in righteousness, but in virtue of his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal in the Holy Spirit,

but if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin.

My little children, I am writing this to you so that you may not sin; but if any one does sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous;

and he is the expiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the sins of the whole world.

save some, by snatching them out of the fire; on some have mercy with fear, hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.

and from Jesus Christ the faithful witness, the first-born of the dead, and the ruler of kings on earth. To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood

and made us a kingdom, priests to his God and Father, to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

he shall cleanse himself with the water on the third day and on the seventh day, and so be clean; but if he does not cleanse himself on the third day and on the seventh day, he will not become clean.

Encamp outside the camp seven days; whoever of you has killed any person, and whoever has touched any slain, purify yourselves and your captives on the third day and on the seventh day.

And on the seventh day God finished his work which he had done, and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had done.

And on the seventh day he shall shave all his hair off his head; he shall shave off his beard and his eyebrows, all his hair. Then he shall wash his clothes, and bathe his body in water, and he shall be clean.
