Holiness is not an option 聖潔，非選擇也 Heb 12:14, “Make every effort to live in peace with all men and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord.” 希伯來書 12:14:「你們要追求與眾人和睦，並要追求聖潔；非聖潔沒有人能見主；」 This requires us to work to “Make every effort”…to be holy 我們要“盡一切努力”...成為聖潔
Holiness is not an option 聖潔，非選擇也 1 Pet 1: 15-16, “But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; for it is written: ‘Be holy, because I am holy.’” 彼得前書 1:15-16: 「那召你們的既是聖潔，你們在一切所行的事上也要聖潔；因為經上記着說：’你們要聖潔，因為我是聖潔的。’」
Holiness is not an option 聖潔，非選擇也 BE = Is in syntax, a verb, from the Latin verbum meaning word, is a word (part of speech) that conveys action (bring, read, walk, run, learn), or a state of being (exist, stand). 「要」--- 在語法上是一個動詞，有行動的意思（例：攜帶、閱讀、散步、跑步、學習）；又可表達某種存在性（例：存在、站立。）
Holiness is not an option 聖潔，非選擇也 HOLY OR HOLINESS = The Hebrew word for "holiness," "kedushah" (Hebrew: קדושה) has the connotation of "separateness." That which is holy in Judaism is set apart, and the separation is maintained by both legal and spiritual measures 「聖潔」--- 原文（希伯來文）含有「分離、分別出來」的意思。猶太教思想中「聖潔」就等同於「處之以外」；而「分別」是由律法和靈性兩方面來保持。
Holiness is not an option 聖潔，非選擇也 Acceptance is when a person agrees to follow a process or condition (often a negative or uncomfortable situation) without attempting to change it, protest, or exit. 「接受」是當一個人同意遵循一個過程或條件（通常是負面或不舒服的情況中），而不試圖改變它，作出抗議，或退出。 Tolerance is the ability to accept the existence of something while still disapproving of it. 「寬容」是在不能認同的情況下仍然接受某些事的存在。
