The words that I speak to you ^(C)I do not speak on My own authority; but the Father who dwells in Me does the works.

^17 (A)For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.

²³ Thus says the Lord:

⁹ “As for you, my son Solomon, ^(A)know the God of your father, and serve Him ^(B)with a loyal heart and with a willing mind; for ^(C)the Lord searches all hearts and understands all the intent of the thoughts. ^(D)If you seek Him, He will be found by you; but if you forsake Him, He will ^(E)cast you off forever.

⁶ We are of God. He who knows God hears us; he who is not of God does not hear us. ^(A)By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error.
