You shall not fear them; you shall surely remember all that the Lord your God did to Pharaoh and to all the Egyptians;

I remembered the works of the Lord; for I will remember Your wonders from the beginning.

Our fathers in Egypt understood not Your wonders, and remembered not the multitude of Your mercy; but provoked [Him] as they went up by the Red Sea.

Therefore remember that you, once Gentiles in the flesh--who are called Uncircumcision by what is called the Circumcision made by hands in the flesh--

that at that time you were apart from Christ, being estranged from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers to the covenants of promise, not having hope and atheists in the world.

Therefore I shall not neglect to constantly remind you concerning these things, although you know and have been established in the present truth.

But I consider it right, as long as I am in this tent, to stir you up by a reminder,

This already, beloved, [is] the second letter I write to you, in [both of] which I stir up your pure mind by a reminder,

to remember the words having been previously spoken by the holy prophets, and the commandment of your apostles of the Lord and Savior;

And it came to pass in the fortieth year, in the eleventh month, on the first [day] of the month, [that] Moses spoke to all the children of Israel, according to all things which the Lord commanded him for them;

who goes before you in the way to choose you a place, guiding you in the fire by night, showing you the way by which you should go, and a cloud by day.

For the Lord our God has blessed you in every work of your hands. Consider how you went through that great and terrible wilderness- behold, the Lord your God [has been] with you for forty years; you did not lack anything.

And He led you forty years in the wilderness; your garments did not grow old, and your sandals were not worn away from off of your feet.

To Him who led His people through the wilderness; for His mercy [endures] forever.

And I brought you up out of the land of Egypt, and led you about in the desert forty years, that you should inherit the land of the Amorites.

But Hezekiah did not recompense the Lord according to the favor shown him, but his heart was lifted up. And wrath came upon him, and upon Judah and Jerusalem.

And Hezekiah humbled himself after the exaltation of his heart, he and the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and the wrath of the Lord did not come upon them in the days of Hezekiah.

And when he was afflicted, he sought the face of the Lord his God, and was greatly humbled before the face of the God of his fathers;

behold, [they are] in the account of his prayer. And [God] hearkened to him. And all his sins, and his backslidings, and the spots on which he built the high places, and set there groves and graven images, before he repented, behold, they are written in the books of the seers.

to turn a man from unrighteousness, and He delivers his body from a fall.

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.

And every man shall be brought low, and the pride of men shall fall; and the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day.

I say to you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself shall be humbled, and he who humbles himself shall be exalted."

But He gives more grace. Therefore He says: "God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble."

Be humbled before the Lord, and He will exalt you.

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."

Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time,

who fed you with manna in the wilderness, which you knew not, and your fathers knew not; that He might afflict you, and thoroughly test you, and do you good in your latter days.

you shall not hearken to the words of that prophet, or the dreamer of that dream, because the Lord your God is testing you, to see whether you love your God with all your heart and with all your soul.

And it came to pass after these things that God tested Abraham, and said to him, Abraham, Abraham; and he said, Behold! I am here.

And Moses cried to the Lord, and the Lord showed him a tree, and he cast it into the water, and the water was sweetened. There He established to him ordinances and judgments, and there He proved him,

And the Lord said to Moses, Behold, I will rain bread upon you out of heaven; and the people shall go forth, and they shall gather their daily portion for the day, that I may test them, whether they will walk in My law or not.

Notwithstanding, in regard to the ambassadors of the princes of Babylon, who were sent to him, to inquire of him [concerning] the wonders which came upon the land, the Lord left him, to test him, to know what was in his heart.

You called upon Me in trouble, and I delivered you; I heard you in the secret place of the storm; I proved you at the Water of Strife. Pause.

As silver and gold are tried in a furnace, so are choice hearts with the Lord.

And who will abide the day of His coming? Or who will withstand at His appearing? For He is coming in as the fire of a furnace and as the herb of fullers.

He shall sit to melt and purify as it were silver, and as it were gold: and He shall purify the sons of Levi, and refine them as gold and silver, and they shall offer to the Lord an offering in righteousness.

knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance.

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.

The heart is deep beyond all things, and it constitutes the man, and who can know him?

I, the Lord, search the hearts, and test the mind, to give to everyone according to his ways, and according to the fruits of his doings.

and had no need that anyone should testify concerning man, for He himself knew what was in man.

I will kill her children by death, and all the churches shall know that I am He who searches minds and hearts. And I will give to each one of you according to your works.
