Inner and outer holiness — singleness of devotion to God expressed in heart, mind, and body
Old Testament purity was largely about ritual cleanness; Jesus pushed it inward to thoughts and motives (Matthew 5:8, Matthew 15:11). Paul calls believers to keep themselves pure (1 Timothy 5:22) and to think on whatever is pure (Philippians 4:8). Purity in Scripture is positive — undivided love — not merely the absence of sin.
