He shall call upon Me, and I will hearken to him; I am with him in affliction; and I will deliver him, and glorify him.

Moses and Aaron among His priests, and Samuel among them that call upon His name; they called upon the Lord, and He heard them.

so that the genuineness of your faith, which is more precious than gold that perishes, though being tested with fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ.
