^4 (A)Do not be like your fathers, ^(B)to whom the former prophets cried out, ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts, ^(C)Return from your evil ways and from your evil deeds.’ But ^(D)they did not hear or pay attention to me, declares the Lord.

⁵ saying, ^(A)‘Turn now, every one of you, ^(B)from his evil way and evil deeds, and ^(C)dwell upon the land that the Lord has given to you and your fathers from of old and forever.

²⁷ for ^(A)I did not shrink from declaring to you ^(B)the whole counsel of God.

^22 (A)Because you have disheartened the righteous falsely, although I have not grieved him, and ^(B)you have encouraged the wicked, that ^(C)he should not turn from his evil way to save his life,

¹⁵ I have sent to you all my servants the prophets, sending them ^(A)persistently, saying, ^(B)‘Turn now every one of you from his evil way, and amend your deeds, and ^(C)do not go after other gods to serve them, and then you shall dwell in the land that I gave to you and your fathers.’ ^(D)But you did not incline your ear or listen to me.

⁶ So then ^(A)let us not sleep, as others do, but let us ^(B)keep awake and ^(C)be sober.

^18 (A)to open their eyes, so that they may turn from darkness to light and from ^(B)the power of Satan to God, that they may receive ^(C)forgiveness of sins and ^(D)a place among those who are sanctified ^(E)by faith in me.’

¹⁹ “Therefore, O King Agrippa, I was not disobedient to ^(F)the heavenly vision, ²⁰ but declared first ^(G)to those in Damascus, ^(H)then in Jerusalem and throughout all the region of Judea, and also ^(I)to the Gentiles, that they should ^(J)repent and ^(K)turn to God, performing deeds ^(L)in keeping with their repentance.
