- So again I say, each man must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.

the Creator of all the earth.
He never grows weak or weary.

for by them you give me life. - The light shines in the darkness,
and the darkness can never extinguish it. - I can never escape from your Spirit!
I can never get away from your presence!
If I go up to heaven, you are there;
if I go down to the grave, you are there. - That is why I can never stop praising you;
I declare your glory all day long.
As the Scriptures tell us, “Anyone who trusts in him will never be disgraced.”May the Lord our God be with us as he was with our ancestors; may he never leave us or abandon us.
