let your face shine upon us,
and we will be saved. - And now, dear children,
abide in him,

we may have confidence
and not be put to shame by him

that is in accordance with his will,
he hears us. - For ‘In him we live and move and have our being.’ As even your own poets have said, ‘We are all his offspring.’
