Therefore, having these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God. | Since we have these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from every defilement of body and spirit, bringing holiness to completion in the fear of God. |
For godly sorrow produces repentance leading to salvation, not to be regretted; but the sorrow of the world produces death. | For godly grief produces a repentance that leads to salvation without regret, whereas worldly grief produces death. |
