| If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; and from now on you know Him and have seen Him. | If you really know me, you will know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him. |
| Judge not, and you shall not be judged. Condemn not, and you shall not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. | Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. |
| Seek the Lord while He may be found, Call upon Him while He is near. | Seek the Lord while he may be found; call on him while he is near. |
| Judge not, that you be not judged. | Do not judge, or you too will be judged. |
| For thus says the Lord to the house of Israel: “Seek Me and live.” | This is what the Lord says to Israel: “Seek me and live.” |
| And whatever things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive. | If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer. |

| And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart. | You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. |
| The Lord is with you while you are with Him. If you seek Him, He will be found by you; but if you forsake Him, He will forsake you. | The Lord is with you when you are with him. If you seek him, he will be found by you, but if you forsake him, he will forsake you. |
| You shall not make anything to be with Me—gods of silver or gods of gold you shall not make for yourselves. | Do not make any gods to be alongside me; do not make for yourselves gods of silver or gods of gold. |
| Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect. | So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him. |
| Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received and in which you stand, by which also you are saved, if you hold fast that word which I preached to you—unless you believed in vain. | Now, brothers and sisters, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand. By this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain. |
| Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. | So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God. |
| For we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s field, you are God’s building. | For we are co-workers in God’s service; you are God’s field, God’s building. |
| Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. | Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. |
| Until now you have asked nothing in My name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full. | Until now you have not asked for anything in my name. Ask and you will receive, and your joy will be complete. |
| Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? | Don’t you know that you yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in your midst? |
