Isaiah 4:3 Douay-Rheims

And it shall come to pass, that every one that shall be left in Sion, and that shall remain in Jerusalem, shall be called holy, every one that is written in life in Jerusalem.

Francis Patrick Kenrick

1796–1863 Catholic

P. " Among the living." L. u Unto life." Holiness can only be ascribed to the inhabitants of the new Jerusalem, of which the old city was a type. They are holy by their calling, and by the reception of the sacraments. The enrolment of citisens and soldiers gave occasion to this phrase, which is strictly applicable to the followers of Christ
