Return, rebel Israel, says the Lord. I will not look upon you in anger. For I am merciful, says the Lord; my wrath will not continue forever. | O Israel, my faithless people, come home to me again, for I am merciful. I will not be angry with you forever. |
For it has been granted you not only to believe in Christ but also to suffer for him. | For you have been given not only the privilege of trusting in Christ but also the privilege of suffering for him. |
