^4 (A)“Hear, O Israel: ^[a]The Lord our God, the Lord is one!

^16 (A)When He had been baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened to Him, and ^[a]He saw ^(B)the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting upon Him. ^17 (C)And suddenly a voice came from heaven, saying, ^(D)“This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”

^19 (A)Go ^[a]therefore and ^(B)make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

^14 (A)The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and ^(B)the ^[a]communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Amen.

⁶ And because you are sons, God has sent forth ^(A)the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying out, ^[a]“Abba, Father!” ⁷ Therefore you are no longer a slave but a son, ^(B)and if a son, then an heir ^[b]of God ^[c]through Christ.

^2 (A)elect ^(B)according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, ^(C)in sanctification of the Spirit, for ^(D)obedience and ^(E)sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ:

^(F)Grace to you and peace be multiplied.
