Part 86

14. Well then mayst thou say, _Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift_! Thanks be unto God, who giveth me to _know in whom I have believed_: who _hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into my heart, crying, Abba, Father_, and even now _bearing witness with my Spirit, that I am a child of God_! And see, that not only thy lips, but thy life shew forth his praise. He hath marked thee for his own; _glorify him_ then _in thy body and thy Spirit which are_ his. Beloved, if thou _hast this hope in_ thyself, _purify_ thyself _as he is pure_. While thou beholdest _what manner of love the Father hath given_ thee, that thou shouldst _be called a child of God: cleanse_ thyself _from all filthiness of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God_: and let all thy thoughts, words, and works be a spiritual sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God through Christ Jesus!
