I have declared, and have saved; I have reproached, and there was no strange [god] among you; you are My witnesses, and I am the Lord God,

Hide not yourselves, nor go astray; have you not heard from the beginning, and [have] I [not] told you? You are witnesses if there is a God beside Me.

This [man] came for a testimony, so that he might testify concerning the Light, so that all through him might believe.

He was not that Light, but [was sent] so that he might testify concerning the Light.

And you also will testify, because you have been with Me from the beginning.

But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth."

And we are found [to be] false witnesses of God, because we bore witness concerning God, that He raised Christ, whom He did not raise--if in fact the dead are not raised.

Jacob is My servant, I will help him; Israel is My elect, My soul has accepted him; I have put My Spirit upon him; he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles.

but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming to be in the likeness of men.

just as also you learned from Epaphras, our beloved fellow servant, who is a faithful minister of Christ for you,

[It is] He that comprehends the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants in it are as grasshoppers; He that set up the heaven as a chamber, and stretched [it] out as a tent to dwell in;

that they may see, and know, and perceive, and understand together, that the hand of the Lord has done these [works], and the Holy One of Israel has displayed [them].

That they that [come] from the east and they that [come] from the west may know that there is no God but Me. I am the Lord God, and there is none beside.

Hide not yourselves, nor go astray; have you not heard from the beginning, and [have] I [not] told you? You are witnesses if there is a God beside Me.
