2 Corinthians 3:18
18As all of us reflect the glory of the Lord with unveiled faces, we are being transformed into the same image with ever-increasing glory by the Lord's Spirit.Rom 8:29; 1Cor 13:12; 15:49; 2Cor 4:4, 6; Col 3:10; 1Tim 1:112 Corinthians 7:1
1Cleanse Yourselves in HolinessSince we have these promises, dear friends, let us cleanse ourselves from everything that contaminates body and spirit by perfecting holiness in the fear of God.2Cor 6:17-18; 1John 3:3Ephesians 4:24
24and to clothe yourselves with the new man, which was created according to the likeness of ▼▼The Gk. lacks the likeness of
God in righteousness and true holiness.Rom 6:4; 2Cor 5:17; Gal 6:15; Eph 2:10; 6:11; Col 3:10 Hebrews 12:10
10For a short time they disciplined us as they thought best, but he does it for our good, so that we may share in his holiness.Lev 11:44; 19:2; 1Pet 1:15-162 Peter 2:18
18By talking high-sounding nonsense and using sinful cravings of the flesh, they entice people who have just escaped from those who live in error.Acts 2:40; 2Pet 1:4, 20; Jude 1:162 Peter 2:20
20For if, after escaping the world's corruptions through a full knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled and conquered by them, then their last condition is worse than their former one.Matt 12:45; Luke 11:26; Heb 6:4; 10:26-27; 2Pet 1:2, 4, 181 John 3:2
2Dear friends, we are now God's children, but what we will be like has not been revealed yet. We know that when Christ ▼▼Lit. he
is revealed we will be like him, because we will see him as he is.Job 19:26; Ps 16:11; Isa 56:5; Matt 5:8; Rom 8:15, 18, 29; 1Cor 13:12; 15:49; 2Cor 4:17; 5:7; Gal 3:26; 4:6; Phil 3:21; Col 3:4; 2Pet 1:4; 1John 5:1
