the sun will not strike them,
nor any scorching heat;

and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes. - I give them eternal life, and they will never perish. No one will snatch them out of my hand. What my Father has given me is greater than all else, and no one can snatch it out of the Father's hand. The Father and I are one.

Stand at the crossroads, and look,

- But those who do what is true come to the light, so that it may be clearly seen that their deeds have been done in God.
- When you pass through the waters, I will be with you;

- In the same way, husbands should love their wives as they do their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.

- But from the beginning of creation, ‘God made them male and female.’ ‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.’ So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.

for they have been from of old.
Do not remember the sins of my youth or my transgressions;
according to your steadfast love remember me,
for your goodness' sake, O Lord! - But those who look into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and persevere, being not hearers who forget but doers who act—they will be blessed in their doing.
- He answered, “Have you not read that the one who made them at the beginning ‘made them male and female,’ and said, ‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’?

And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a debased mind and to things that should not be done.
