17 Therefore, come out from among them

and be separate, says the Lord;

do not touch any unclean thing,

and I will welcome you.F,t

18 And I will be a Fatheru to you,

and you will be sonsv and daughters to me,

says the Lord Almighty.G,w

7 So then, dear friends, since we have these promises,x let us cleanse ourselves from every impurity of the flesh and spirit,y bringing holiness to completionH in the fear of God.z
