17  Wherefore ^acome out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,

  2  But your mind has been on the things of the ^aearth more than on the things of me, your Maker, and the ministry whereunto you have been called; and you have not given heed unto my Spirit, and to those who were set over you, but have been persuaded by those whom I have not commanded.

  4  Wherefore, whoso believeth in God might with surety ^bhope for a better world, yea, even a place at the right hand of God, which hope cometh of faith, maketh an anchor to the souls of men, which would make them sure and steadfast, always abounding in good works, being led to glorify God.

  3  Because thy lovingkindness is ^abetter than life, my lips shall praise thee.
