The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old.
That he who blesseth himself in the earth shall bless himself in the God of truth; and he that sweareth in the earth shall swear by the God of truth; because the former troubles are forgotten, and because they are hid from mine eyes.
All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.
For I bear him record, that he hath a great zeal for you, and them that are in Laodicea, and them in Hierapolis.
Salute the brethren which are in Laodicea, and Nymphas, and the church which is in his house.
