Cleansing is gradual; perfect holiness grows (2 Cor 7; Rev 22)
Cleansing is not once-for-all total; it advances by degrees.
Paul urges sharers of grace to perfect sanctification (2 Corinthians 7); Revelation 22: the righteous and holy still grow.
Latin
XVI. Porro ista a peccatis purgatio & emundatio tota simul & semel non fit, sed sensim & per gradus varios promovetur. Unde est quod Apostolus illos ipsos quos supponit gratiae Christi participes, & quorum numero ipse se includit, hortatur ut se magis ac magis mundent, & perficiant sanctificationem. Has ergo, inquit, habentes promissiones, charissimi, mundemus nos ab omni inquinamento carnis & spiritus, sanctificationem perficientes in timore Dei. 2 Cor. 7. Quo spectat illud Apocalypseos, Qui justus est justificetur adhuc; & sanctus est sanctificetur adhuc. Apoc. 22.
