Jesus answered, “The most important is, ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one.

because of the tender mercy of our God, whereby the sunrise shall visit us from on high

Jesus answered, “If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father who glorifies me, of whom you say, ‘He is our God.’

For the promise is for you and for your children and for all who are far off, everyone whom the Lord our God calls to himself.”

And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.

who gave himself for our sins to deliver us from the present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father,

To our God and Father be glory forever and ever. Amen.

remembering before our God and Father your work of faith and labor of love and steadfastness of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ.

But though we had already suffered and been shamefully treated at Philippi, as you know, we had boldness in our God to declare to you the gospel of God in the midst of much conflict.

For what thanksgiving can we return to God for you, for all the joy that we feel for your sake before our God,

Now may our God and Father himself, and our Lord Jesus, direct our way to you,

so that he may establish your hearts blameless in holiness before our God and Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all his saints.

To this end we always pray for you, that our God may make you worthy of his calling and may fulfill every resolve for good and every work of faith by his power,

so that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and you in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.

for our God is a consuming fire.

Greeting

Simeon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, To those who have obtained a faith of equal standing with ours by the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ:

For certain people have crept in unnoticed who long ago were designated for this condemnation, ungodly people, who pervert the grace of our God into sensuality and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.

and you have made them a kingdom and priests to our God, and they shall reign on the earth.”

saying, “Do not harm the earth or the sea or the trees, until we have sealed the servants of our God on their foreheads.”

and crying out with a loud voice, “Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!”

saying, “Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and might be to our God forever and ever! Amen.”

And I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying, “Now the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God and the authority of his Christ have come, for the accuser of our brothers has been thrown down, who accuses them day and night before our God.

Rejoicing in Heaven

After this I heard what seemed to be the loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, crying out, “Hallelujah! Salvation and glory and power belong to our God,

And from the throne came a voice saying, “Praise our God, all you his servants, you who fear him, small and great.”

The Marriage Supper of the Lamb

Then I heard what seemed to be the voice of a great multitude, like the roar of many waters and like the sound of mighty peals of thunder, crying out, “Hallelujah! For the Lord our God the Almighty reigns.
