Hosea’s Redemption of Gomer

3 Then the Lord said to me, “Go again, love ^[a]a woman who is loved by her ^[b]husband, yet is committing adultery, ^(A)as the Lord loves the sons of Israel, though they turn to other gods and love ^[c]raisin ^(B)cakes.”

²⁸ “^(A)Come to Me, all ^[a]who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.

³¹ And He *said to them, “Come away by yourselves to a secluded place and rest a little while.” (For there were many people coming and going, and ^(A)they did not even have time to eat.)

⁷ to all who are ^(A)beloved of God in Rome, called as ^[a](B)saints: ^(C)Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

²⁰ I have been ^(A)crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but ^(B)Christ lives in me; and ^[a]the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in ^(C)the Son of God, who ^(D)loved me and ^(E)gave Himself up for me.
