Bible Verses About Righteous: Relation of the righteous to God

But to you I say: Possess their land which I will give you for an inheritance, a land flowing with milk and honey. I am the Lord your God, who have separated you from other people.

Therefore do you also separate the clean beast from the unclean, and the clean fowl from the unclean. Defile not your souls with beasts, or birds, or any things that move on the earth, and which I have shewn you to be unclean:

You shall be holy unto me, because I the Lord am holy: and I have separated you from other people, that you should be mine.
