¹² And Moses said to Jehovah, Behold, thou sayest unto me, Bring up this people; but thou dost not let me know whom thou wilt send with me; and thou hast said, I know thee by name, and thou hast also found grace in mine eyes.

¹³ And now, if indeed I have found grace in thine eyes, make me now to know thy way, that I may know thee, that I may find grace in thine eyes; and consider that this nation is thy people!

¹⁴ And he said, My presence shall go, and I will give thee rest.

¹⁵ And he said to him, If thy presence do not go, bring us not up hence.

¹⁶ And how shall it be known then that I have found grace in thine eyes—I and thy people? [Is it] not by thy going with us? so shall we be distinguished, I and thy people, from every people that is on the face of the earth.

¹⁷ And Jehovah said to Moses, I will do this thing also that thou hast said; for thou hast found grace in mine eyes, and I know thee by name.

¹⁸ And he said, Let me, I pray thee, see thy glory.

¹⁹ And he said, I will make all my goodness pass before thy face, and I will proclaim the name of Jehovah before thee; and I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and I will shew mercy on whom I will shew mercy.

²⁰ And he said, Thou canst not see my face; for Man shall not see me, and live.

²¹ And Jehovah said, Behold, [there is] a place by me: there shalt thou stand on the rock.

²² And it shall come to pass, when my glory passeth by, that I will put thee in a cleft of the rock, and will cover thee with my hand, until I have passed by.

²³ And I will take away my hand, and thou shalt see me from behind; but my face shall not be seen.

99 Jehovah reigneth: let the peoples tremble. He sitteth [between the] cherubim: let the earth be moved.

² Jehovah is great in Zion, and he is high above all the peoples.

³ They shall praise thy great and terrible name,—it is holy!—

⁴ And the strength of the king that loveth justice. *Thou* hast established equity: it is thou that executest judgment and righteousness in Jacob.

⁵ Exalt Jehovah our God, and worship at his footstool. He is holy!

⁶ Moses and Aaron among his priests, and Samuel among them that call upon his name: they called unto Jehovah, and *he* answered them.

⁷ He spoke unto them in the pillar of cloud: they kept his testimonies, and the statute that he gave them.

⁸ Jehovah, our God, *thou* answeredst them: a forgiving God wast thou unto them, though thou tookest vengeance of their doings.

⁹ Exalt Jehovah our God, and worship at the hill of his holiness; for holy is Jehovah our God.

1 Paul and Silvanus and Timotheus to the assembly of Thessalonians in God [the] Father and [the] Lord Jesus Christ. Grace to you and peace.

² We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you at our prayers,

³ remembering unceasingly your work of faith, and labour of love, and enduring constancy of hope, of our Lord Jesus Christ, before our God and Father;

⁴ knowing, brethren beloved by God, your election.

⁵ For our glad tidings were not with you in word only, but also in power, and in [the] Holy Spirit, and in much assurance; even as ye know what we were among you for your sakes:

⁶ and *ye* became our imitators, and of the Lord, having accepted the word in much tribulation with joy of [the] Holy Spirit,

⁷ so that ye became models to all that believe in Macedonia and in Achaia:

⁸ for the word of the Lord sounded out from you, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but in every place your faith which [is] towards God has gone abroad, so that we have no need to say anything;

⁹ for they themselves relate concerning us what entering in we had to you, and how ye turned to God from idols to serve a living and true God,

¹⁰ and to await his Son from the heavens, whom he raised from among the dead, Jesus, our deliverer from the coming wrath.

¹⁵ Then went the Pharisees and held a council how they might ensnare him in speaking.

¹⁶ And they send out to him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, Teacher, we know that thou art true and teachest the way of God in truth, and carest not for any one, for thou regardest not men's person;

¹⁷ tell us therefore what thou thinkest: Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not?

¹⁸ But Jesus, knowing their wickedness, said, Why tempt ye me, hypocrites?

¹⁹ Shew me the money of the tribute. And they presented to him a denarius.

²⁰ And he says to them, Whose [is] this image and superscription?

²¹ They say to him, Caesar's. Then he says to them, Pay then what is Caesar's to Caesar, and what is God's to God.

²² And when they heard [him], they wondered, and left him, and went away.
