And Abraham answered and said, Now I have begun to speak to my Lord, and I am [but] dust and ashes.

Then King David came in, and sat before the Lord, and said, Who am I, O Lord, my Lord, and what [is] my house, that You have loved me [like] this?

I have heard the report of You by the ear before; but now my eye has seen You.

Therefore I have counted myself vile, and have fainted: and I esteem myself dust and ashes.

I said to the Lord, You are my Lord; my goodness is nothing apart from You.

And I said, Woe is me, for I am pricked to the heart; for being a man, and having unclean lips, I dwell in the midst of a people having unclean lips; and I have seen with my eyes the King, the Lord of hosts.

I remembered the mercy of the Lord, the praises of the Lord in all things in which He recompenses us. The Lord is a good judge to the house of Israel; He deals with us according to His mercy, and according to the abundance of His righteousness.

In you, O Lord, is our righteousness, and to us [belongs] confusion of face, and to our kings, and to our princes, and to our fathers, forasmuch as we have sinned.

To you, O Lord our God, [belong] compassion and forgiveness, whereas we have departed [from You.]

When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, "Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord!"

So likewise you, whenever you do all the things having been commanded to you, say, 'We are unprofitable servants. We have done what we ought to do.'"

I have become a fool in boasting; you have compelled me! For I ought to have been commended by you; for in nothing have I been inferior to the super apostles, though I am nothing.

And I give thanks to the [One] who empowers me, Christ Jesus our Lord, because He considered me faithful, putting me into the ministry,

and the grace of our Lord superabounded with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.

Likewise, younger [people], subject yourselves to [the] elders. And all of you be subject to one another, and be clothed with humility, because "God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble."

If we claim that we have no sin, we are deceiving ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

If we claim that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us.

and said, Blessed be the Lord, the God of my master Abraham, who has not allowed His righteousness to fail, nor His truth from my master, and the Lord has brought me prosperously to the house of the brother of my lord.

You made him a little lower than the angels, You have crowned him with glory and honor;

and said, Blessed be the Lord, the God of my master Abraham, who has not allowed His righteousness to fail, nor His truth from my master, and the Lord has brought me prosperously to the house of the brother of my lord.

And behold, I am with you, to preserve you continually wherever you shall go; and I will bring you back to this land; for I will not desert you, until I have done all that I have said to you.

He shall endure forever before God. Which of them shall seek out His mercy and truth?

Mercy and truth have met together; righteousness and peace have kissed [each other].

He shall give blessings truly to Jacob, and mercy to Abraham, as You swore to our fathers, according to the former days.

And Jacob went forth from the Well of the Oath, and departed into Haran.

So he came to a certain place and slept there, for the sun had gone down; and he took one of the stones of the place, and put it at his head, and lay down to sleep in that place,

Though then your beginning should be small, yet your end should be unspeakably great.

And You have made me secure in my salvation; and Your right hand has helped me, and Your correction has upheld me to the end; yea, Your correction itself shall instruct me.

And there were born to me oxen, donkeys, sheep, male and female servants; and I sent to tell my lord Esau, that your servant might find grace in your sight.

And Jacob was greatly terrified, and was perplexed; and he divided the people that was with him, and the cows, and the camels, and the sheep, into two camps.

And the man became very rich, and he had many cattle and oxen, and male and female servants, and camels and donkeys.

But you shall remember the Lord your God, that He gives you strength to get wealth; even that He may establish His covenant, which the Lord swore to your fathers, as it is this day.

And You have made me secure in my salvation; and Your right hand has helped me, and Your correction has upheld me to the end; yea, Your correction itself shall instruct me.

They shall go from strength to strength; the God of gods shall be seen in Zion.

But let the faithful hold on his own way, and let him that is pure of hands take courage.

But the ways of the righteous shine like light; they go forth and shine, until the day has fully come.
