| Go thy way, eat thy bread with joy, and drink thy wine with a merry heart; for God now accepteth thy works. | Go, eat your bread with joy, and drink your wine with a merry heart, for God has already approved what you do. |
| But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name. | But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God. |
