5 for it is sanctified through the word of God and intercession.
And God maketh the beast of the earth after its kind, and the cattle after their kind, and every creeping thing of the ground after its kind, and God seeth that `it is' good.
And God seeth all that He hath done, and lo, very good; and there is an evening, and there is a morning -- day the sixth.
But what ye have give ye `as' alms, and, lo, all things are clean to you.
for the unbelieving husband hath been sanctified in the wife, and the unbelieving wife hath been sanctified in the husband; otherwise your children are unclean, but now they are holy.
