Flee Immorality NAS 1 Corinthians 6.18-20 Flee immorality. Every other sin that a man commits is outside the body, but the immoral man sins against his own body.

in the likeness of God has been created in

A People For His Own Possession NAS Titus 2.11-15 For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men, instructing us to deny ungodliness and worldly desires and to live sensibly, righteously and godly in the present age, looking for the blessed hope and the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Christ Jesus, who gave Himself for us to redeem us from every lawless deed, and to purify for Himself a people for His own possession, zealous for good deeds.

Temptation NAS James 1.13-15

Let no one say when he is tempted, "I am being tempted by God"; for God cannot be tempted by evil, and He Himself does not tempt anyone.

15. Purity James 1.13-15

Taking Every Thought Captive NAS 2 Corinthians 10.3-5 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh, for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses. We are destroying speculations and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ,

Vessel For Honor NAS 2 Timothy 2.20-22 Now in a large house there are not only gold and silver vessels, but also vessels of wood and of earthenware, and some to honor and some to dishonor.

10. Purity Colossians 3.5-7

Resist The Devil NAS James 4.7-8

Submit therefore to God. Resist the devil and

hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts,
you double-minded.

1 John 3.2-3
Beloved, now we are children of God, and it
has not appeared as yet what we will be. We
know that when He appears, we will be like
Him, because we will see Him just as He is.
And everyone who has this hope fixed on
Him purifies himself, just as He is pure.

Applying All Diligence NAS 1 Peter 1.5-9 Now for this very reason also, applying all diligence, in your faith supply moral excellence, and in your moral excellence, knowledge, and in your knowledge, self-control, and in your self-control, perseverance, and in your perseverance, godliness, and in your godliness, brotherly kindness, and in your brotherly kindness, love. For if these qualities are yours and are increasing, they render you neither useless nor unfruitful in the true knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. For he who lacks these qualities is blind or short-sighted, having forgotten his purification from his former sins.
