In your hands are strength and power
to exalt and give strength to all. - You then, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
- The Almighty is beyond our reach and exalted in power;
in his justice and great righteousness, he does not oppress. - His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness.
- Who has done this and carried it through,
calling forth the generations from the beginning?

and with the last—I am he. - I long to see you so that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to make you strong— that is, that you and I may be mutually encouraged by each other’s faith.

- I will strengthen Judah
and save the tribes of Joseph.
I will restore them
because I have compassion on them.
They will be as though
I had not rejected them,
for I am the Lord their God
and I will answer them. - The angel answered, “The Holy Spirit will come on you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will be called the Son of God.”
- To love him with all your heart, with all your understanding and with all your strength, and to love your neighbor as yourself is more important than all burnt offerings and sacrifices.
I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful. About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening to them.Next verse!With image
