# To those who are pure, all things are pure

"If people are pure on the inside, everything they do will be pure"

# To those who are pure

"To those who are acceptable to God"

# to those who are corrupt and unbelieving, nothing is pure

Paul speaks of sinners as if they were physically dirty. Alternate translation: "if people are morally defiled and do not believe, they cannot do anything pure" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]])
