31 We know that God doesn't listen to sinners, but he does listen to anyone who worships him and does his will.
8 Come close to God, and he will come close to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.
11 So if you who are evil know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good things to those who keep on asking him!
13 For "everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved."
10 and to wait for his Son whom he raised from the dead to come back from heaven. This Jesus is the one who rescues us from the coming wrath.
16 What are you waiting for now? Get up, be baptized, and have your sins washed away as you call on his name.’
13 I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
14 If you ask mefor anything in my name, I will do it."
15 "If you love me, keepmy commandments.
16 I will ask the Father to giveyou another Helper, to be with you always.
