Therefore thus says the Lord God of Israel: I said, Your house and the house of your father shall pass before Me forever: but now the Lord says, Far be it from Me; for I will only honor them that honor Me, and he that despises Me shall be despised.

For he has hoped in Me, and I will deliver him; I will protect him, because he has known My name.

He that has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me shall be loved by My Father, and I will love him and will manifest Myself to him."

Jesus answered and said to him, "If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and we will make [Our] home with him.

for the Father Himself loves you, because you have loved Me, and have believed that I came forth from God.

We love Him because He first loved us.

And remember your Creator in the days of your youth, before the days of evil come, and the years overtake [you] in which you shall say, I have no pleasure in them.

I have not spoken in secret, nor in a dark place of the earth; I said not to the seed of Jacob, Seek vanity; I, even I, am the Lord, speaking righteousness, and proclaiming truth.

Seek the Lord, and when you find Him, call upon Him; and when He draws near to you,

But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.

"Ask, and it shall be given to you; seek, and you shall find; knock, and it shall be opened to you.

For everyone that asks receives, and he that seeks finds, and to him that knocks, it shall be opened.

But when Jesus saw this, He was indignant and said to them, "Allow the little children come to Me, do not hinder them; for of such is the kingdom of God.

If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it shall be given to him.
