While the phrase <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em>\u201cperfect holiness\u201d<\/em><\/span> is more fully developed in the New Testament, the Torah lays the foundation for holiness as a progressive, covenantal pursuit involving both external obedience and internal reverence. Leviticus 19:2 \u2013 <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em>\u201cBe holy, for I the Lord your God am holy.\u201d<\/em><\/span> This is the heartbeat of Torah ethics. Holiness is not merely ritual, it\u2019s relational and moral, reflecting God\u2019s character. Exodus 19:5\u20136 \u2013 <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em>\u201cYou shall be to Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.\u201d<\/em><\/span> Note this was spoken before the giving of the Law at Sinai. Holiness is the identity and calling of Israel, requiring covenant loyalty and separation from impurity. Leviticus 11:44\u201345 \u2013 <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em>\u201cSanctify yourselves\u2026 and be holy.\u201d<\/em><\/span> Linked to dietary laws, but the principle is broader: holiness involves intentional separation and discipline. The phrase <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em>\u201csanctify yourselves\u201d<\/em><\/span> mirrors Paul\u2019s language of active purification. Deuteronomy 7:6 \u2013 <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em>\u201cYou are a holy people to the Lord your God.\u201d<\/em><\/span> Holiness is both a status and a responsibility. Israel\u2019s election demands ethical and spiritual distinctiveness. Paul\u2019s phrase <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em>\u201cperfecting holiness\u201d<\/em><\/span> implies a process not just a static state. The Torah supports this with its layered approach: Ritual purity (Leviticus 11\u201315), Moral commands (Leviticus 18\u201320), and Communal holiness (Numbers 5:1\u20134; Deuteronomy 23). Holiness in Torah is always tied to reverence, obedience, and proximity to God, just as Paul frames it in the fear of God. This is how Paul taught Torah, the Torah has not passed away!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bits of Torah Truths &#8211; Torah Concept in the NT: Let us Perfect holiness &#8211; Episode 603 2 Corinthians 7:1 \u05dc\u05b8\u05db\u05b5\u05df, \u05d7\u05b2\u05d1\u05b4\u05d9\u05d1\u05b7\u05d9, \u05d1\u05b4\u05bc\u05d4\u05b0\u05d9\u05d5\u05b9\u05ea \u05dc\u05b8\u05e0\u05d5\u05bc \u05d4\u05b7\u05d4\u05b7\u05d1\u05b0\u05d8\u05b8\u05d7\u05d5\u05b9\u05ea \u05d4\u05b8\u05d0\u05b5\u05dc\u05b6\u05bc\u05d4, \u05e0\u05b0\u05d8\u05b7\u05d4\u05b5\u05e8 \u05d0\u05b6\u05ea \u05e2\u05b7\u05e6\u05b0\u05de\u05b5\u05e0\u05d5\u05bc \u05de\u05b4\u05db\u05b8\u05bc\u05dc \u05d8\u05bb\u05de\u05b0\u05d0\u05b7\u05ea \u05d2\u05bc\u05d5\u05bc\u05e3 \u05d5\u05b0\u05e8\u05d5\u05bc\u05d7\u05b7 \u05d5\u05b0\u05e0\u05b7\u05e9\u05b0\u05c1\u05dc\u05b4\u05d9\u05dd \u05e7\u05b0\u05d3\u05bb\u05e9\u05b8\u05bc\u05c1\u05ea\u05b5\u05e0\u05d5\u05bc \u05d1\u05b0\u05bc\u05d9\u05b4\u05e8\u05b0\u05d0\u05b7\u05ea \u05d0\u05b1\u05dc\u05b9\u05d4\u05b4\u05d9\u05dd. #torah #torahwisdom #torahtruth #torahforlife #torah4you #torahtruth 2 Corinthians 7:1 7:1 Therefore, having these promises, beloved, let us cleanse [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":23956,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[48,34],"tags":[125,128,65,127,83],"class_list":{"0":"post-23954","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-bits-of-torah-truths","8":"category-video","9":"tag-biblicalpurity","10":"tag-holinessandfaith","11":"tag-messianicteaching","12":"tag-spiritualcleansing","13":"tag-torahinthenewtestament"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23954","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=23954"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23954\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":23955,"href":"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23954\/revisions\/23955"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/23956"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=23954"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=23954"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=23954"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
