I will declare Your name to My brothers; in the midst of the assembly I will praise You.

And I will set a sign among them. And those among them who escape I will send to the nations; to Tarshish, Pul, and Lud (who draw the bow), to Tubal, and Javan; to the far away coasts that have not heard of My fame, nor seen My glory. And they shall declare My glory among the nations.

O righteous Father, the world has not known You, but I have known You; and these have known that You sent Me.

And we preach the gospel to you; the promise which was made to the fathers.

Behold, you despisers, marvel and perish. For I work a work in your days, a work which you will by no means believe, though one were to declare it to you.

For I have not shrunk back from declaring to you the whole counsel of God.

Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received and in which you stand,

saying: I will declare Your name to My brethren; in the midst of the assembly I will sing praise to You.

And they continued steadfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayers.

For it seemed good to them, and they are their debtors. For if the Gentiles have been partakers of their spiritual things, it is also their duty to minister to them in carnal things.

that the Gentiles should be fellow heirs, of the same body, and joint partakers of His promise in Christ through the gospel,

just as it is right for me to think this of you all, because I have you in my heart, inasmuch as both in my bonds and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel, you all are partakers with me of the grace.

Therefore if there is any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and mercy,

And those who have believing masters, let them not despise them because they are brethren, but rather serve them because those who are benefited are believers and beloved. Teach and exhort these things.

Therefore, holy brethren, partakers of the Heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, Christ Jesus,

The elders who are among you I exhort, I who am a fellow elder and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory about to be revealed:

But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from every sin.

Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father.

Therefore let abide in you that which you heard from the beginning. If what you heard from the beginning abides in you, you also will remain in the Son and in the Father.

In that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you.

Judas (not Iscariot) said to Him, Lord, how is it that You will make Yourself known to us, and not at all to the world?

And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You sent.

And now I am no longer in the world, but these are in the world, and I am coming to You. Holy Father, keep through Your name those whom You have given Me, that they may be one as We are.

that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me.

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

But out of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who was made for us from God wisdom and righteousness and sanctification and redemption;

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Amen.

Therefore if there is any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and mercy,

that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death,

For we have become partakers of Christ if we hold fast to the origin of our Foundation steadfast to the end,

He who believes in the Son of God has the testimony in himself; he who does not believe God has made Him a liar, because he has not believed the testimony that God has given concerning His Son.

And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son.

who has delivered us from the authority of darkness and translated us into the kingdom of the Son of His love,

and to wait for His Son from Heaven, whom He raised from the dead, even Jesus who delivers us from the coming wrath.
