First, God is universally holy in all his ways, so Psal. 145.17. His works are all holy; what ever he doth, it's still done as becomes an holy God. He is not only holy in all things, but at all times unchangeably holy. Be ye therefore holy in all things, and at all times too, if ever ye expect the benefit of Christs sanctifying himself, to dye for you.
O Brethren, let not the Feet of your conversation be as the Feet of a lame man; which are unequal, Prov. 20.7. be not sometimes hot, and sometimes cold, at one time careful, at another time careless. One day in a spiritual rapture, and the next, in a fleshly frolic; but be ye holy [Greek or Hebrew] 1 Pet. 1.15. in all manner of conversation, in every creek, and turning of your lives; And let your holiness hold out to the end. Let him that is holy, be holy still, Rev. 22.11. not like the Hypocrites paint but as a true natural complexion.
O Brethren, let not the Feet of your conversation be as the Feet of a lame man; which are unequal, Prov. 20.7. be not sometimes hot, and sometimes cold, at one time carefull, at another time careless. One day in a spiritual rapture, and the next, in a fleshly frolick; but be ye holy 〈non-Latin alphabet〉 1 Pet. 1.15. in all manner of conversation, in every creek, and turning of your lives; And let your holiness hold out to the end. Let him that is holy, be holy still, Rev. 22.11. not like the Hypocrites paint but as a true natural complexion.
