Return, thou backsliding Israel, saith the Lord; and I will not cause mine anger to fall upon you: for I am merciful, saith the Lord, and I will not keep anger for ever. | Return, faithless Israel, says the Lord. I will not look on you in anger, for I am merciful, says the Lord; I will not be angry forever. |
For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake. | For he has graciously granted you the privilege not only of believing in Christ, but of suffering for him as well. |
