else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me: 6

none beside me. I am the LORD, and there is none else. Isaiah 45:5-6 (KJV)

in the name of the Lord Jesus.) 17 Then laid they their hands on them, and they
received the Holy Ghost. Acts 8:14-17 (KJV)
44 While Peter yet spake
these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word. 45 And they

Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be ye holy: for I am
the LORD your God. Lev 20:7 (KJV)
I speak after the manner of men because
of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to
uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members

therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all
filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

conversation; 16 Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy. 1
