SANCTIFICATION


Taken from the HOLY BIBLE: NEW INTERNATIONAL VERSION (C) 1978 by the New

EXO 13:2  "Consecrate to me every firstborn male. The first offspring of 
every womb among the Israelites belongs to me, whether man or animal."

19:10  And the LORD said to Moses, "Go to the people and consecrate them 
today and tomorrow. Have them wash their clothes

14  After Moses had gone down the mountain to the people, he consecrated 
them, and they washed their clothes.

29:37  For seven days make atonement for the altar and consecrate it. Then 
the altar will be most holy, and whatever touches it will be holy.

43  there also I will meet with the Israelites, and the place will be 
consecrated by my glory.

30:29  You shall consecrate them so they will be most holy, and whatever 
touches them will be holy.

31:13  "Say to the Israelites, 'You must observe my Sabbaths. This will be 
a sign between me and you for the generations to come, so you may know that 
I am the LORD, who makes you holy.

33:16  How will anyone know that you are pleased with me and with your 
people unless you go with us? What else will distinguish me and your people 
from all the other people on the face of the earth?"

40:9  "Take the anointing oil and anoint the tabernacle and everything in 
it; consecrate it and all its furnishings, and it will be holy.

10  Then anoint the altar of burnt offering and all its utensils; 
consecrate the altar, and it will be most holy.

11  Anoint the basin and its stand and consecrate them.

34  Then the cloud covered the Tent of Meeting, and the glory of the LORD 
filled the tabernacle.

35  Moses could not enter the Tent of Meeting because the cloud had settled 
upon it, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle.

LEV 20:8  Keep my decrees and follow them. I am the LORD, who makes you 
holy.

21:1  The LORD said to Moses, "Speak to the priests, the sons of Aaron, and 
say to them: 'A priest must not make himself ceremonially unclean for any 
of his people who die,

2  except for a close relative, such as his mother or father, his son or 
daughter, his brother,

3  or an unmarried sister who is dependent on him since she has no husband-
-for her he may make himself unclean.

4  He must not make himself unclean for people related to him by marriage, 
and so defile himself.

5  "'Priests must not shave their heads or shave off the edges of their 
beards or cut their bodies.

6  They must be holy to their God and must not profane the name of their 
God. Because they present the offerings made to the LORD by fire, the food 
of their God, they are to be holy.

7  "'They must not marry women defiled by prostitution or divorced from 
their husbands, because priests are holy to their God.

8  Regard them as holy, because they offer up the food of your God. 
Consider them holy, because I the LORD am holy--I who make you holy.

9  "'If a priest's daughter defiles herself by becoming a prostitute, she 
disgraces her father; she must be burned in the fire.

10  "'The high priest, the one among his brothers who has had the anointing 
oil poured on his head and who has been ordained to wear the priestly 
garments, must not let his hair become unkempt or tear his clothes.

11  He must not enter a place where there is a dead body. He must not make 
himself unclean, even for his father or mother,

12  nor leave the sanctuary of his God or desecrate it, because he has been 
dedicated by the anointing oil of his God. I am the LORD.

13  "'The woman he marries must be a virgin.

14  He must not marry a widow, a divorced woman, or a woman defiled by 
prostitution, but only a virgin from his own people,

15  so he will not defile his offspring among his people. I am the LORD, 
who makes him holy.'"

16  The LORD said to Moses,

17  "Say to Aaron: 'For the generations to come none of your descendants 
who has a defect may come near to offer the food of his God.

18  No man who has any defect may come near: no man who is blind or lame, 
disfigured or deformed;

19  no man with a crippled foot or hand,

20  or who is hunchbacked or dwarfed, or who has any eye defect, or who has 
festering or running sores or damaged testicles.

21  No descendant of Aaron the priest who has any defect is to come near to 
present the offerings made to the LORD by fire. He has a defect; he must 
not come near to offer the food of his God.

22  He may eat the most holy food of his God, as well as the holy food;

23  yet because of his defect, he must not go near the curtain or approach 
the altar, and so desecrate my sanctuary. I am the LORD, who makes them 
holy.'"

22:9  "'The priests are to keep my requirements so that they do not become 
guilty and die for treating them with contempt. I am the LORD, who makes 
them holy.

JER 1:5  "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born 
I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations."

EZE 37:28  Then the nations will know that I the LORD make Israel holy, 
when my sanctuary is among them forever.'"

JOH 17:17  Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth.

19  For them I sanctify myself, that they too may be truly sanctified.

ACT 26:17  I will rescue you from your own people and from the Gentiles. I 
am sending you to them

18  to open their eyes and turn them from darkness to light, and from the 
power of Satan to God, so that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a 
place among those who are sanctified by faith in me.'

ROM 15:16  to be a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles with the 
priestly duty of proclaiming the gospel of God, so that the Gentiles might 
become an offering acceptable to God, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.

1CO 1:2  To the church of God in Corinth, to those sanctified in Christ 
Jesus and called to be holy, together with all those everywhere who call on 
the name of our Lord Jesus Christ--their Lord and ours:

30  It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for 
us wisdom from God--that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption.

6:11  And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were 
sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by 
the Spirit of our God.

13:1  If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I 
am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.

2  If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all 
knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not 
love, I am nothing.

3  If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, 
but have not love, I gain nothing.

4  Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it 
is not proud.

5  It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it 
keeps no record of wrongs.

6  Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.

7  It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

8  Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where 
there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will 
pass away.

9  For we know in part and we prophesy in part,

10  but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears.

11  When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I 
reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me.

12  Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face 
to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully 
known.

13  And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of 
these is love.

2CO 1:21  Now it is God who makes both us and you stand firm in Christ. He 
anointed us,

22  set his seal of ownership on us, and put his Spirit in our hearts as a 
deposit, guaranteeing what is to come.

GAL 2:20  I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but 
Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son 
of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

6:14  May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, 
through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.

EPH 1:3  Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has 
blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ.

4  For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and 
blameless in his sight. In love

3:19  and to know this love that surpasses knowledge--that you may be 
filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.

4:7  But to each one of us grace has been given as Christ apportioned it.

12  to prepare God's people for works of service, so that the body of 
Christ may be built up

13  until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son 
of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of 
Christ.

15  Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will in all things grow up into 
him who is the Head, that is, Christ.

16  From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting 
ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work.

5:25  Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave 
himself up for her

26  to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the 
word,

27  and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or 
wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless.

COL 2:11  In him you were also circumcised, in the putting off of the 
sinful nature, not with a circumcision done by the hands of men but with 
the circumcision done by Christ,

1TH 4:3  It is God's will that you should be sanctified: that you should 
avoid sexual immorality;

4  that each of you should learn to control his own body in a way that is 
holy and honorable,

5:23  May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. 
May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our 
Lord Jesus Christ.

2TH 2:13  But we ought always to thank God for you, brothers loved by the 
Lord, because from the beginning God chose you to be saved through the 
sanctifying work of the Spirit and through belief in the truth.

14  He called you to this through our gospel, that you might share in the 
glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

2TI 2:11  Here is a trustworthy saying: If we died with him, we will also 
live with him;

21  If a man cleanses himself from the latter, he will be an instrument for 
noble purposes, made holy, useful to the Master and prepared to do any good 
work.

HEB 2:11  Both the one who makes men holy and those who are made holy are 
of the same family. So Jesus is not ashamed to call them brothers.

9:14  How much more, then, will the blood of Christ, who through the 
eternal Spirit offered himself unblemished to God, cleanse our consciences 
from acts that lead to death, so that we may serve the living God!

10:10  And by that will, we have been made holy through the sacrifice of 
the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

14  because by one sacrifice he has made perfect forever those who are 
being made holy.

12:10  Our fathers disciplined us for a little while as they thought best; 
but God disciplines us for our good, that we may share in his holiness.

13:12  And so Jesus also suffered outside the city gate to make the people 
holy through his own blood.

21  equip you with everything good for doing his will, and may he work in 
us what is pleasing to him, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory for ever 
and ever. Amen.

1PE 1:2  who have been chosen according to the foreknowledge of God the 
Father, through the sanctifying work of the Spirit, for obedience to Jesus 
Christ and sprinkling by his blood: Grace and peace be yours in abundance.

2PE 1:2  Grace and peace be yours in abundance through the knowledge of God 
and of Jesus our Lord.

3  His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness 
through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness.

4  Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so 
that through them you may participate in the divine nature and escape the 
corruption in the world caused by evil desires.

1JO 1:9  If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive 
us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.

JUD 1:1  Jude, a servant of Jesus Christ and a brother of James, To those 
who have been called, who are loved by God the Father and kept by Jesus 
Christ:

24  To him who is able to keep you from falling and to present you before 
his glorious presence without fault and with great joy--

REV 7:14  I answered, "Sir, you know." And he said, "These are they who 
have come out of the great tribulation; they have washed their robes and 
made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
