but may attain eternal life. - Just as he came forth naked from his mother’s womb,

with nothing remaining from his labor
that he can carry away in his hands. - And the Word became flesh
and dwelt among us.

the glory as of the Father’s only Son,
full of grace and truth. - Whoever believes in him is not condemned,
but whoever does not believe in him

because he has not believed in the name
of the only-begotten Son of God. - However, if you truly amend your ways and your deeds, if you are upright in your dealings with your neighbor; if you do not oppress the alien, the orphan, and the widow; if you do not shed innocent blood in this place; and if you do not follow other gods and thereby cause your own destruction, then I will allow you to live in this place, in the land that I gave as a permanent gift to your fathers long ago.
