Versliste
Blessed be {Or, God and the Father See Romans 15:6 margin.}the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort;
Now the God of {Or, stedfastness}patience and of comfort grant you to be of the same mind one with another according to Christ Jesus:
Finally, brethren, {Or, rejoice: be perfected}farewell. Be perfected; be comforted; be of the same mind; live in peace: and the God of love and peace shall be with you.
Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, in the power of the Holy Spirit.
And the high priest said, Are these things so?
Now the God of peace be with you all. Amen.
being confident of this very thing, that he who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Jesus Christ:
And thou shalt sanctify them, that they may be most holy: {Or, whosoever}whatsoever toucheth them shall be holy.
And thou shalt put them upon Aaron thy brother, and upon his sons with him, and shalt anoint them, and {Hebrew: fill their land.}consecrate them, and sanctify them, that they may minister unto me in the priest's office.
for ye were bought with a price: glorify God therefore in your body.
Having therefore these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye cleanse the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full from extortion and excess.
And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God:Many shall see it, and fear,And shall trust in Jehovah.
Follow after peace with all men, and the sanctification without which no man shall see the Lord:
that he might present the church to himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.
{Or, Consecrate}Sanctify them in the truth: thy word is truth.
And for this cause we also thank God without ceasing, that, when ye received from us {Greek: the word of hearing. Galatians 3:2, 5}the word of the message, even the word of God, ye accepted it not as the word of men, but, as it is in truth, the word of God, which also worketh in you that believe.
{Or, Consecrate}Sanctify them in the truth: thy word is truth.
Wherefore watch ye, remembering that by the space of three years I ceased not to admonish every one night and day with tears.
But we are bound to give thanks to God always for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, for that God chose you {Many ancient authorities read as firstfruits.}from the beginning unto salvation in sanctification of the Spirit and {Or, faith}belief of the truth:
and he made no distinction between us and them, cleansing their hearts by faith.
If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father who is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?
