And Jehovah passed before him and proclaimed: Jehovah, Jehovah Mighty God, merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in goodness and truth,

keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, by no means clearing the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the sons and the sons' sons to the third and the fourth generation.

For You, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive, and abounding in mercy unto all those who call upon You.

But You, O Lord, are a Mighty God full of compassion, and gracious, longsuffering and abundant in mercy and truth.

Who is a Mighty God like You, forgiving iniquity and passing over the transgression of the remnant of His possession? His anger does not remain strong forever, for He delights in mercy.

He will return and have compassion on us; He will subdue our iniquities. And You will cast all their sins into the depths of the sea.

Moreover the Law entered that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace abounded much more,

so that as sin reigned in death, even so grace might reign through righteousness unto eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Now may the God of patience and comfort grant you to be of the same mind toward one another, according to Christ Jesus,

Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Finally, brethren, rejoice. Become complete. Be encouraged, be of one mind, be at peace; and the God of love and peace will be with you.

Now may the God of peace who brought up our Lord Jesus from the dead, that great Shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant,

but as He who called you is holy, you also become holy in all conduct,

And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.

Moreover whom He predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified.

(for the children not yet being born, nor having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works but of Him who calls),

whom He also called, not only of us Jews, but also of the Gentiles?

God is faithful, through whom you were called into the fellowship of His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

that you would walk worthily of God who calls you into His kingdom and glory.

to which He called you through our gospel, for the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which you were also called and have confessed the good confession in the presence of many witnesses.

who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was given to us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time,

as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the full true knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue,

For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is achieving for us a surpassing and eternal weight of glory,

Therefore I endure all things for the sake of the elect, that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.

And for this reason He is the Mediator of the new covenant, by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions under the first covenant, that those who are called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.

And this is the promise that He has promised us: Eternal Life.

In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved by various trials,

that the testing of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found unto praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ,

For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is achieving for us a surpassing and eternal weight of glory,

Finally, brethren, rejoice. Become complete. Be encouraged, be of one mind, be at peace; and the God of love and peace will be with you.

encourage your hearts and establish you in every good word and work.

make you complete in every good work to do His will, working in you what is well pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen.

Now to Him who has the power to keep you from stumbling, and to present you without blemish before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy,

being rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving.

encourage your hearts and establish you in every good word and work.

But the Lord is faithful, who will establish you and guard you from the evil.

Though I walk in the midst of distress, You will revive me; You will stretch out Your hand against the wrath of my enemies, and Your right hand will deliver me.

And I will strengthen the house of Judah, and I will save the house of Joseph. And I will return to save them, for I have mercy on them. And they shall be as though I had not cast them off, for I am Jehovah their God, and I will answer them.

And I will strengthen them in Jehovah, and they shall walk up and down in His name, says Jehovah.

But I have prayed for you, that your faith does not fail; and when you have returned, strengthen your brethren.

I have strength for all things in Christ who strengthens me.

in the body of His flesh through death, to present you holy, and without blemish, and above reproach in His sight;

if indeed you continue in the faith, grounded and steadfast, and are not moved away from the hope of the gospel which you heard, which was preached to every creature under Heaven, of which I, Paul, was made a minister.

If anyone speaks, let him speak as the words of God. If anyone ministers, let him do it as with the strength which God supplies, that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom is the glory and might forever and ever. Amen.
