⁴ So Moses chiseled^(A) out two stone tablets like the first ones and went up Mount Sinai early in the morning, as the Lord had commanded him; and he carried the two stone tablets in his hands.^{(B) 5} Then the Lord came down in the cloud^(C) and stood there with him and proclaimed his name, the Lord.^{(D) 6} And he passed in front of Moses, proclaiming, “The Lord, the Lord, the compassionate^(E) and gracious God, slow to anger,^(F) abounding in love^(G) and faithfulness,^(H)

⁸ Moses bowed to the ground at once and worshiped. ⁹ “Lord,” he said, “if I have found favor^(A) in your eyes, then let the Lord go with us.^(B) Although this is a stiff-necked^(C) people, forgive our wickedness and our sin,^(D) and take us as your inheritance.”^(E)

Final Greetings

¹¹ Finally, brothers and sisters,^(A) rejoice! Strive for full restoration, encourage one another, be of one mind, live in peace.^(B) And the God of love^(C) and peace^(D) will be with you.

¹² Greet one another with a holy kiss.^{(E) 13} All God’s people here send their greetings.^(F)

¹⁶ For God so loved^(A) the world that he gave^(B) his one and only Son,^(C) that whoever believes^(D) in him shall not perish but have eternal life.^{(E) 17} For God did not send his Son into the world^(F) to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.^{(G) 18} Whoever believes in him is not condemned,^(H) but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.^(I)
