Isaiah 55:6-11
New King James Version
6 (A)Seek the Lord while He may be (B)found,
Call upon Him while He is near.
7 (C)Let the [a]wicked forsake his way,
And the unrighteous man (D)his thoughts;
Let him return to the Lord,
(E)And He will have mercy on him;
And to our God,
For He will abundantly pardon.
8 “For(F) My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways My ways,” says the Lord.
9 “For(G) as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are My ways higher than your ways,
And My thoughts than your thoughts.
10 “For (H)as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven,
And do not return there,
But water the earth,
And make it bring forth and bud,
That it may give seed to the sower
And bread to the eater,
11 (I)So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth;
It shall not return to Me [b]void,
But it shall accomplish what I please,
And it shall (J)prosper in the thing for which I sent it.

Hebrews 10:35-11:3
New King James Version
35 Therefore do not cast away your confidence, (A)which has great reward. 36 (B)For you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, (C)you may receive the promise:
37 “For (D)yet a little while,
And (E)He[a] who is coming will come and will not [b]tarry.
38 Now (F)the[c] just shall live by faith;
But if anyone draws back,
My soul has no pleasure in him.”
39 But we are not of those (G)who draw back to [d]perdition, but of those who (H)believe to the saving of the soul.
By Faith We Understand
11 Now faith is the [e]substance of things hoped for, the [f]evidence (I)of things not seen. 2 For by it the elders obtained a good testimony.
3 By faith we understand that (J)the [g]worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible.

John 4:46-54
New King James Version
A Nobleman’s Son Healed
46 So Jesus came again to Cana of Galilee (A)where He had made the water wine. And there was a certain [a]nobleman whose son was sick at Capernaum. 47 When he heard that Jesus had come out of Judea into Galilee, he went to Him and implored Him to come down and heal his son, for he was at the point of death. 48 Then Jesus said to him, (B)“Unless you people see signs and wonders, you will by no means believe.”
49 The nobleman said to Him, “Sir, come down before my child dies!”
50 Jesus said to him, “Go your way; your son lives.” So the man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him, and he went his way. 51 And as he was now going down, his servants met him and told him, saying, “Your son lives!”
52 Then he inquired of them the hour when he got better. And they said to him, “Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him.” 53 So the father knew that it was at the same hour in which Jesus said to him, “Your son lives.” And he himself believed, and his whole household.
54 This again is the second sign Jesus did when He had come out of Judea into Galilee.
