Holy Holy Holy

Christian Standard Bible Chapter 4

Each of the four living creatures had six wings; they were covered with eyes around and inside. Day and night they never stop, saying,

Holy, holy, holy,

Lord God, the Almighty,

who was, who is, and who is to come.

Christians and Christian fellowship are to be holy (hagios) because they are called out from the world by the holy (hagios) God (1 Pet 1:15–16) and sanctified (ἁγιάζω, hagiazō) by the work of Christ (1 Cor 1:2) and the Holy Spirit (Jude 20).

Christian Standard Bible Chapter 6

In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord seated on a high and lofty throne, and the hem of his robe filled the temple. 2 Seraphim were standing above him; they each had six wings: with two they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they flew. 3 And one called to another:

Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of Armies;

his glory fills the whole earth.

Christian Standard Bible Chapter 1

15 But as the one who called you is holy, you also are to be holy in all your conduct; 16 for it is written, Be holy, because I am holy.

Christian Standard Bible Chapter 20

You are to be holy to me because I, the LORD, am holy, and I have set you apart from the nations to be mine.

Christian Standard Bible Chapter 3

but in your hearts regard Christ the Lord as holy, ready at any time to give a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you.
