Christian Standard Bible Anglicised
6 They are to be holy to their God and not profane the name of their God.(A) For they present the food offerings to the Lord, the food of their God, and they must be holy. 7 They are not to marry a woman defiled by prostitution.[a](B) They are not to marry one divorced(C) by her husband, for the priest is holy to his God. 8 You are to consider him holy since he presents the food of your God. He will be holy to you because I, the Lord who sets you apart, am holy.
