And has founded His strata in the earth;
Who calls for the waters of the sea,
And pours them out on the face of the earth—
The Lord is His name. - Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers.
- Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock.

Now may the Lord of peace Himself give you peace always in every way. The Lord be with you all. For the Lord your God is gracious and merciful, and will not turn His face from you if you return to Him.Next verse!With image
