Make every effort to live in peace with everyone and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord.
Make every effort to live in peace with everyone
Romans 14:19 Let us therefore make every effort to do what leads to peace and to mutual edification.
and to be holy
Romans 6:22-23 But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves of God, the benefit you reap leads to holiness, and the result is eternal life. For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
without holiness no one will see the Lord
Matthew 5:8 "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God."
1 Peter 1:15-16 But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; for it is written: "Be holy, because I am holy." (Leviticus 11:44-45; 19:2)
1 John 3:2-3 Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when Christ appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is. All who have this hope in him purify themselves, just as he is pure.
