The apostle Peter counseled Christians: “As obedient children, stop being molded by the desires you formerly had in your ignorance, but like the Holy One who called you, become holy yourselves in all your conduct, for it is written: ‘ You must be holy, because I am holy. ’ ”
אדרבה, כדוגמת הקדוש אשר קרא אתכם, היו קדושים בכל התנהגותכם, שהרי כתוב: ’ היו קדושים, כי קדוש אני ’ ” (‏ פט ” א א ’: 14 – 16‏).
