But it is God who establishes ¹  us together with you in Christ and who anointed us, ² 

In him ¹  the whole building, ²  being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord,

to equip ¹  the saints for the work of ministry, that is, ²  to build up the body of Christ,

All the saints greet you, especially those who belong to Caesar’s household.

For this is God’s will: that you become holy, ¹  that you keep away from sexual immorality,

that each of you know how to possess his own body ¹  in holiness and honor,

because I hear ¹  of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love ²  for all the saints. ³ 

By his will ¹  we have been made holy through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

For by one offering he has perfected for all time those who are made holy.

Pursue peace with everyone, and holiness, ¹  for without it no one will see the Lord.

Greetings to all your leaders and all the saints. Those from Italy send you greetings.

The blessings of your father are greater than ¹  the blessings of the eternal mountains ²  or the desirable things of the age-old hills. They will be on the head of Joseph and on the brow of the prince of his brothers. ³ 

You are to take some of the blood that is on the altar and some of the anointing oil and sprinkle it ¹  on Aaron, on his garments, on his sons, and on his sons’ garments with him, so that he may be holy, ²  he and his garments along with his sons and his sons’ garments.

Every male among the sons of Aaron may eat it. It is a perpetual allotted portion ¹  throughout your generations ²  from the gifts of the Lord. Anyone who touches these gifts ³  must be holy.’” ⁴ 

Then she will remain ¹  thirty-three days in blood purity. ²  She must not touch anything holy and she must not enter the sanctuary until the days of her purification are fulfilled. ³ 

“This is the law ¹  of the Nazirite who vows to the Lord his offering according to his separation, as well as whatever else he can provide. ²  Thus he must fulfill ³  his vow that he makes, according to the law of his separation.”

The Lord spoke to Aaron, “See, I have given you the responsibility for my raised offerings; I have given all the holy things of the Israelites to you as your priestly portion ¹  and to your sons as a perpetual ordinance.

So the priest gave him holy bread, for there was no bread there other than the bread of the Presence. It had been removed from before the Lord in order to replace it with hot bread on the day it had been taken away.

Shelomith ¹  and his relatives were in charge of all the storehouses containing the consecrated items dedicated by King David, the family leaders who led units of a thousand and a hundred, and the army officers.

No one must enter the Lord’s temple except the priests and Levites who are on duty. They may enter because they are ceremonially pure. All the others should carry out their assigned service to the Lord.
