Holiness Defined
Leviticus 20:26
And you shall be holy to me: for I the LORD am holy, and have severed you from other people, that you should be mine.


At one of the ragged schools in Ireland a clergyman asked the question, "What is holiness?" A poor Irish convert in tattered rags jumped up and said, "Please, your Reverence, it's being clean inside."
