Verse 1
The New King James Version and the New International Version and biblical commentators Johann Bengel[2] and Heinrich Meyer[3] treat verse 1 as the conclusion of verses 11–18 in the previous chapter:
- Therefore, having these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.[4]
God promises to walk in His temple, dwell in His churches, be their God, and they His people, be their Father, and they His "beloved" sons and daughters (2 Corinthians 6:16).[5] Some copies read "brethren" for "beloved", including the Ethiopian version.[5]
