¹¹ For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith Jehovah, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you ^[a]hope in your latter end. ¹² And ye shall call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you. ¹³ And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart. ¹⁴ And I will be found of you, saith Jehovah, and I will ^[b]turn again your captivity, and I will gather you from all the nations, and from all the places whither I have driven you, saith Jehovah; and I will bring you again unto the place whence I caused you to be carried away captive.

⁶ Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.

⁴⁸ Ye therefore shall be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.

¹³ Enter ye in by the narrow gate: for wide ^[a]is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many are they that enter in thereby. ^14 [b]For narrow is the gate, and straitened the way, that leadeth unto life, and few are they that find it.

¹⁵ For that which I ^[a]do I know not: for not what I would, that do I practise; but what I hate, that I do. ¹⁶ But if what I would not, that I do, I consent unto the law that it is good.

¹⁴ I press on toward the goal unto the prize of the ^[a]high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
