And the LORD passed by before him, and proclaimed, The LORD, The LORD God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth,

Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear the guilty; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children's children, unto the third and to the fourth generation.

For you, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive; and abundant in mercy unto all them that call upon you.

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

Who is a God like unto you, who pardons iniquity, and passes by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he retains not his anger forever, because he delights in mercy.

He will turn again, he will have compassion upon 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 did much more abound:

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

Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be like minded one toward another according to Christ Jesus:

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

Finally, brethren, farewell. Be restored, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you.

Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant,

But as he who has called you is holy, so be holy in all manner of conduct;

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

Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.

(For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calls;)

Even us, whom he has called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles?

God is faithful, by whom you were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.

That you would walk worthy of God, who has called you unto his kingdom and glory.

To which he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which you are also called, and have professed a good profession before 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 us in Christ Jesus before the world began,

According as his divine power has given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who has called us to glory and virtue:

For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, works for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;

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

And for this cause he is the mediator of the new covenant, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first covenant, they who are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.

And this is the promise that he has promised us, even eternal life.

In which you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you are in heaviness through manifold trials:

That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perishes, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honor and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:

For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, works for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;

Finally, brethren, farewell. Be restored, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall 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 that which is well pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.

Now unto him who is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,

Rooted and built up in him, and established in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.

Encourage your hearts, and establish you in every good word and work.

But the Lord is faithful, who shall establish you, and keep you from evil.

Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you will revive me: you shall stretch forth your hand against the wrath of my enemies, and your right hand shall save me.

And I will strengthen the house of Judah, and I will save the house of Joseph, and I will bring them again to restore them; for I have mercy upon them: and they shall be as though I had not cast them off: for I am the LORD their God, and will hear them.

And I will strengthen them in the LORD; and they shall walk up and down in his name, says the LORD.

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

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblamable and unreprovable in his sight:

If you continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which you have heard, and which was preached to every creature who is under heaven; of which I Paul am made a minister;

If any man speaks, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man ministers, let him do it as of the ability which God gives: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion forever and ever. Amen.
