But if they had stood in My counsel and had caused My people to hear My Words, then they would have turned them from their evil way and from the evil of their doings.

Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for the business of building up, that it may impart grace to the hearers.

Yours, O Jehovah, is the greatness, the power and the glory, the victory and the majesty; for all that is in the heavens and on earth is Yours; Yours is the kingdom, O Jehovah, and You are exalted as head over all.

Now therefore, our God, we are giving thanks to You and praising Your glorious name.

For we are strangers and sojourners before You, as were all our fathers; our days on earth are as a shadow, and there is no hope.

But having different gifts according to the grace that is given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, according to the proportion of faith;

he who exhorts, in exhortation; he who gives, with simplicity; he who leads, with diligence; he who shows mercy, with cheerfulness.

According to the grace of God which was given to me, as a wise master builder I have laid the foundation, and another builds on it. But let each one take heed how he builds on it.

There are different distributions of gifts, but the same Spirit.

you also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

For you were bought with a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's.

Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.

through the proof of this ministry, they glorify God for your professed obedience to the gospel of Christ, and for your liberal sharing with them and all men,

Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us,

to Him be glory in the church in Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.

giving thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,

and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

To Him be the glory and might forever and ever. Amen.

to God, alone wise, be glory through Jesus Christ forever. Amen.

to Him be glory in the church in Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.

who alone has immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light, whom no man has seen or can see, to whom be honor and eternal power. Amen.

to God our Savior, who alone is wise, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and forever. Amen.

and from Jesus Christ, the Faithful Witness, the Firstborn out from the dead, and the Ruler over the kings of the earth; to Him who loved us and washed us from our sins in His own blood,

and has made us kings and priests to God, even His Father; to Him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.

Your kingdom is an eternal kingdom, and Your dominion is from generation to generation.

How great are His signs! And how mighty are His wonders! His kingdom is an eternal kingdom, and His dominion is from generation to generation.

And at the end of the days, I, Nebuchadnezzar, lifted up my eyes to the heavens, and my understanding returned to me, and I blessed the Most High. And I praised and honored Him who lives forever, whose dominion is an eternal dominion, and His rule from generation to generation.

And dominion was given to Him, and glory, and a kingdom, that all peoples, nations, and languages should serve Him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion which shall not pass away, and His kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.

And do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from the evil. For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.

saying with a loud voice: Worthy is the Lamb who was slain to receive power and riches and wisdom, and strength and honor and glory and blessing!
