| 6 | |Be God's holy men, and don't dishonor the name of your God. Be holy because you bring sacrifices by fire to the LORD. It is the food of your God. | They shall be holy to their God and not profane the name of their God. For they offer the LORD’s food offerings, the bread of their God; therefore they shall be holy. | They must be holy to their God and must not profane the name of their God. Because they present the food offerings to the LORD, the food of their God, they are to be holy. | |
| 7 | You should never marry prostitutes, those who have lost their virginity, or divorced women because a priest is God's holy man. | They shall not marry a prostitute or a woman who has been defiled, neither shall they marry a woman divorced from her husband, for the priest is holy to his God. | “’They must not marry women defiled by prostitution or divorced from their husbands, because priests are holy to their God. | |
| 8 | Be holy because you offer the food of your God. Be holy because I, the LORD, am holy. I set you apart as holy. | You shall sanctify him, for he offers the bread of your God. He shall be holy to you, for I, the LORD, who sanctify you, am holy. | Regard them as holy, because they offer up the food of your God. Consider them holy, because I the LORD am holy—I who make you holy. | |
