Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul. – 1 Peter 2:11
And they shall be mine, saith the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels. – Malachi 3:17
“Christ’s people are strangers on earth; they must lift up their hearts to their everlasting home. They are the elect of God; they shall be His when he makes up his jewels. They must live a consecrated life, keeping themselves, by the grace of God, within the sphere of the blessed Spirit’s influence. They must walk always in the path of holy obedience; so shall the blood of Christ continually cleanse them from their sin.” – The Pulpit Commentary (slightly revised)
But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. – 1 John 1:7
