We reject the pharisaical sanctity, which is but a covering of shame, under which sin has free play. - Hermann Friedrich Kohlbrugge

This, then, is the obedience of faith, whereunto the Holy Ghost sanctifies us, that we should not give ear to the doctrine taught by the world, which is a doctrine of self-righteousness, and that we should keep ourselves altogether “unspotted from the world,” in our daily walk and conversation, and that we join not with the world in any thing that denies God and Christ, be it what it may.

His walk and conversation will then be very different from his former course of life, when he willingly served sin and Satan, indulged his evil desires, and walked after the course of this world.

Let each of us hear this letter with the conviction that it is addressed especially to him; let him say in his heart, All this is for me.
