Darum sollt ihr mir heilig sein; denn ich, der HERR, bin heilig, der euch abgesondert hat von den Völkern, daß ihr mein wäret.

Serán santos para mí, porque yo, Jehová, soy santo. Los he apartado de los pueblos para que sean míos.
Vous serez saints pour moi, car je suis saint, moi, l'Eternel; je vous ai séparés des peuples, afin que vous soyez à moi.
E siatemi santi; perciocchè io, il Signore, son santo; e vi ho separati dagli altri popoli, acciocchè siate miei.
E ser-me-eis santos, porque eu, o SENHOR, sou santo, e vos separei dos povos, para serdes meus.
你們要歸我為聖,因為-我耶和華是神聖的;我把你們從萬民中分別出來,作我的子民。
