No one has ever seen God. The only Son, who is the same as God and is at the Father's side, he has made him known.

Christ is the visible likeness of the invisible God. He is the first-born Son, superior to all created things.

To the eternal King, immortal and invisible, the only God---to him be honor and glory forever and ever! Amen.

He alone is immortal; he lives in the light that no one can approach. No one has ever seen him; no one can ever see him. To him be honor and eternal power! Amen.

It was faith that made Moses leave Egypt without being afraid of the king's anger. As though he saw the invisible God, he refused to turn back.

God punishes them, because what can be known about God is plain to them, for God himself made it plain.

Do not be tempted to worship and serve what you see in the sky---the sun, the moon, and the stars. The LORD your God has given these to all other peoples for them to worship.

I have never worshiped the sun in its brightness or the moon in all its beauty.

Such a sin should be punished by death; it denies Almighty God.

When I look at the sky, which you have made, at the moon and the stars, which you set in their places---

The LORD created the heavens by his command, the sun, moon, and stars by his spoken word.

Worship the LORD, all the earth! Honor him, all peoples of the world!

You have set the earth firmly on its foundations, and it will never be moved.

May the glory of the LORD last forever! May the LORD be happy with what he has made!

Your faithfulness endures through all the ages; you have set the earth in place, and it remains.

You created every part of me; you put me together in my mother's womb.

lightning and hail, snow and clouds, strong winds that obey his command.

all animals, tame and wild, reptiles and birds.

young women and young men, old people and children too.

so that you may become the children of your Father in heaven. For he makes his sun to shine on bad and good people alike, and gives rain to those who do good and to those who do evil.

Now, however, that truth has been brought out into the open through the writings of the prophets; and by the command of the eternal God it is made known to all nations, so that all may believe and obey.

Then Abraham planted a tamarisk tree in Beersheba and worshiped the LORD, the Everlasting God.

God has always been your defense; his eternal arms are your support. He drove out your enemies as you advanced, and told you to destroy them all.

Before you created the hills or brought the world into being, you were eternally God, and will be God forever.

A child is born to us! A son is given to us! And he will be our ruler. He will be called, "Wonderful Counselor," "Mighty God," "Eternal Father," "Prince of Peace."

Trust in the LORD forever; he will always protect us.

Look up at the sky! Who created the stars you see? The one who leads them out like an army, he knows how many there are and calls each one by name! His power is so great--- not one of them is ever missing!

To the eternal King, immortal and invisible, the only God---to him be honor and glory forever and ever! Amen.

Since this is true, how much more is accomplished by the blood of Christ! Through the eternal Spirit he offered himself as a perfect sacrifice to God. His blood will purify our consciences from useless rituals, so that we may serve the living God.

Since we are God's children, we should not suppose that his nature is anything like an image of gold or silver or stone, shaped by human art and skill.

For the full content of divine nature lives in Christ, in his humanity,

Do you, my friend, pass judgment on others? You have no excuse at all, whoever you are. For when you judge others and then do the same things which they do, you condemn yourself.

Their conduct shows that what the Law commands is written in their hearts. Their consciences also show that this is true, since their thoughts sometimes accuse them and sometimes defend them.

They would not have been guilty of sin if I had not come and spoken to them; as it is, they no longer have any excuse for their sin.

"My fellow Jews, listen to me as I make my defense before you!"
