- Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall: For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
- For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
As in water face answereth to face,
so the heart of man to man. And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.Next verse!With image
