²⁹ He who is the Glory of Israel does not lie^(A) or change^(B) his mind; for he is not a human being, that he should change his mind.”

² in the hope of eternal life,^(A) which God, who does not lie,^(B) promised before the beginning of time,^(C)

¹⁴ “‘I the Lord have spoken.^(A) The time has come for me to act.^(B) I will not hold back; I will not have pity,^(C) nor will I relent.^(D) You will be judged according to your conduct and your actions,^(E) declares the Sovereign Lord.^(F)’”

¹⁸ God did this so that, by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie,^(A) we who have fled to take hold of the hope^(B) set before us may be greatly encouraged.

¹³ I can do all this through him who gives me strength.^(A)

⁹ But he said to me, “My grace^(A) is sufficient for you, for my power^(B) is made perfect in weakness.^(C)”^(D) Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.
