# Clean and Unclean
Something that is "clean" is not dirty or stained. Something that is “unclean” is dirty or stained. In the Bible, the words “clean” and “unclean” are metaphors. “Clean” means "pure," "holy," or "free from sin." Unclean means “impure,” “unholy,” or “sinful.”

In the New Testament, the Jews still obeyed these commands about clean and unclean things. Jews did not eat certain types of food. They also avoided the Gentiles. Gentiles were “unclean” because they were not a part of God’s people. The New Testament teaches that all food is clean (see: Mark 7:19). Gentiles are also now clean because God accepts them as his people when they believe in Jesus (see: Acts 10:15; 11:9).
