She makes sure that he has bathed and that his clothes are neat and clean. This keeps him healthy and shows others that his parents are taking good care of him. Similarly, our loving Father, Jehovah, wants us to be clean—both physically and morally. When we are clean, we benefit ourselves and bring honor to him.</p> <h3 class="du-color--turquoise-700 du-fontSize--base du-margin-top--8" id="p4" data-pid="4"><strong>1. How can we be physically clean?</strong></h3> <p id="p5" data-pid="5">Jehovah tells us: <strong>“You must be holy.”</strong> (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1102021240/0/0" data-bid="1-1" class="b">1 Peter 1:16</a>) Holiness is related to physical and moral cleanness. We can be physically clean by bathing regularly and by keeping our clothes, home, and vehicle neat and clean. We can also help clean our Kingdom Hall. By keeping physically clean, we bring honor to Jehovah.—<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1102021240/1/0" data-bid="2-1" class="b">2 Corinthians 6:3, 4</a>.</p> <h3 class="du-color--turquoise-700 du-fontSize--base du-margin-top--8" id="p6" data-pid="6"><strong>2. To be clean, what habits should we avoid?</strong></h3> <p id="p7" data-pid="7">The Bible urges us to <strong>“cleanse ourselves of every defilement of flesh and spirit.”</strong> (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1102021240/2/0" data-bid="3-1" class="b">2 Corinthians 7:1</a>) Thus, we strive to avoid anything that would damage our body or our mind. Our thoughts should please Jehovah, so we do our best to reject improper thoughts. (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1102021240/3/0" data-bid="4-1" class="b">Psalm 104:34</a>) We also strive to use clean speech.—Read <a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1102021240/4/0" data-bid="5-1" class="b">Colossians 3:8</a>.</p> <p id="p8" data-pid="8">What else could make us physically or morally unclean? Some substances can contaminate our body. Therefore, we avoid such things as tobacco, the chewing of betel nut or coca leaves, and the recreational use of drugs. By avoiding these, we are healthier and we show respect for the gift of life. We also strive to be morally clean by fighting against the unclean practices of masturbation and of viewing pornography. (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1102021240/5/0" data-bid="6-1" class="b">Psalm 119:37;</a><a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1102021240/5/1" data-bid="6-2" class="b"> Ephesians 5:5</a>) It can be difficult to overcome these habits, but Jehovah can help us to do so.—Read <a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1102021240/6/0" data-bid="7-1" class="b">Isaiah 41:13</a>.</p> </div> <div id="tt7"> <h2 class="du-color--coolGray-400 du-fontSize--basePlus1 du-letterSpacing--8 du-constrainStylesToTextWidth du-borderStyle-top--solid du-borderColor-top--coolGray-400 du-borderWidth-top--4 du-margin-top--12 du-padding-top--4" id="p9" data-pid="9"><span id="page168" class="pageNum" aria-hidden="true" data-no="168" data-before-text="168"></span><strong>DIG DEEPER</strong></h2> <div id="tt9" class="du-fontSize--basePlus1"> <p id="p10" data-pid="10">Consider how being physically clean honors Jehovah, and see how to overcome unclean practices.</p> </div> <h3 class="du-color--turquoise-700 du-margin-top--8" id="p11" data-pid="11"><strong>3.
