²⁰ In what place therefore ye hear the sound of the trumpet, resort ye thither unto us: our God shall fight for us.

²⁶ And now, Lord, thou art God, and hast promised this goodness unto thy servant:

²⁸ And now, O Lord God, thou art that God, and thy words be true, and thou hast promised this goodness unto thy servant:

¹³ And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.

¹⁶ How much better is it to get wisdom than gold! and to get understanding rather to be chosen than silver!
