Preaching to Cornelius’ Household

³⁴ Then Peter opened his mouth and said: ^(A)“In truth I perceive that God shows no partiality. ³⁵ But ^(B)in every nation whoever fears Him and works righteousness is ^(C)accepted by Him. ³⁶ The word which God sent to the ^[a]children of Israel, ^(D)preaching peace through Jesus Christ—^(E)He is Lord of all—

^16 (A)do not cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers: ¹⁷ that ^(B)the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, ^(C)may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, ^18 (D)the eyes of your ^[a]understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is ^(E)the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, ¹⁹ and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, ^(F)according to the working of His mighty power ²⁰ which He worked in Christ when ^(G)He raised Him from the dead and ^(H)seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, ^21 (I)far above all ^(J)principality^[b] and ^[c]power and ^[d]might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come.

²² And ^(K)He put all things under His feet, and gave Him ^(L)to be head over all things to the church, ^23 (M)which is His body, ^(N)the fullness of Him ^(O)who fills all in all.

¹⁶ For ^(A)by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or ^(B)dominions or ^[a]principalities or ^[b]powers. All things were created ^(C)through Him and for Him. ^17 (D)And He is before all things, and in Him ^(E)all things consist.

¹³ I urge you in the sight of God who gives life to all things, and before Christ Jesus ^(A)who witnessed the good confession before Pontius Pilate, ¹⁴ that you keep this commandment without spot, blameless until our Lord Jesus Christ’s appearing, ¹⁵ which He will manifest in His own time, He who is the blessed and only ^[a]Potentate, the King of kings and Lord of lords, ¹⁶ who alone has immortality, dwelling in ^(B)unapproachable light, ^(C)whom no man has seen or can see, to whom be honor and everlasting power. Amen.

God’s Supreme Revelation^(A)

1 God, who ^[a]at various times and ^(B)in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets, ² has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the ^[b]worlds; ^3 (C)who being the brightness of His glory and the express ^(D)image of His person, and ^(E)upholding all things by the word of His power, ^(F)when He had ^[c]by Himself ^[d]purged ^[e]our sins, ^(G)sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,

²² who has gone into heaven and ^(A)is at the right hand of God, ^(B)angels and authorities and powers having been made subject to Him.
