²³ But this is what I commanded them, saying, ^(A)‘Obey My voice, and ^(B)I will be your God, and you shall be My people. And walk in all the ways that I have commanded you, that it may be well with you.’

³⁵ And a voice came out of the cloud, saying, ^(A)“This is ^[a]My beloved Son. ^(B)Hear Him!”

⁹ And ^(A)having been perfected, He became the author of eternal salvation to all who obey Him,

⁸ But what does it say? ^(A)“The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith which we preach):

¹⁷ So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
