a foreigner, as all my fathers were. - I have taken your testimonies as a heritage forever,

and, as a cloud, your sins.
Return to me, for I have redeemed you. - He said to them, “Because of your unbelief. For most certainly I tell you, if you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you will tell this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you.”
- I will greatly rejoice in Yahweh!

Turn your ear to my sayings.
Let them not depart from your eyes.
Keep them in the center of your heart. - For so has the Lord commanded us, saying,
‘I have set you as a light for the Gentiles,
that you should bring salvation to the uttermost parts of the earth.’ - Beloved, let’s love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.
- My son, don’t forget my teaching,
but let your heart keep my commandments,
for they will add to you length of days,
years of life, and peace. - My son, keep your father’s commandment,
and don’t forsake your mother’s teaching. - Therefore I urge you, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service.

- This is a symbol of baptism, which now saves you—not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God—through the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
