18 No man has seen God at any time; the only begotten God, who is in the bosom of the Father, he has declared [him].
28 And he was there with Yahweh forty days and forty nights; he neither ate bread, nor drank water. And he wrote on the tables the words of the covenant, the ten commandments.
10 For a day in your courts is better than a thousand. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, Than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.
6 Surely goodness and loving-kindness will follow me all the days of my life; And I will dwell in the house of Yahweh forever.
5 Let your{} forbearance be known to all men. The Lord is at hand.
31 Nevertheless in your manifold mercies you did not make a full end of them, nor forsake them; for you are a gracious and merciful God.
13 hereby we know that we stay in him and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit.
13 But now in Christ Jesus you{} who once were far off are made near in the blood of Christ.
17 [The righteous] cried, and Yahweh heard, And delivered them out of all their troubles.
18 Yahweh is near to those who are of a broken heart, And saves such as are of a contrite spirit.
11 You will show me the path of life: In your presence is fullness of joy; In your right hand there are pleasures forevermore.
9 and heal the sick who are in it, and say to them, The kingdom of God has come near to you{}.
1 And the Spirit of God came upon Azariah the son of Oded:
2 and he went out to meet Asa, and said to him, Hear{+} me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin: Yahweh is with you{+}, while you{+} are with him; and if you{+} seek him, he will be found of you{+}; but if you{+} forsake him, he will forsake you{+}.
3 Now for a long season Israel was without the true God, and without a teaching priest, and without law:
4 But when in their distress they turned to Yahweh, the God of Israel, and sought him, he was found of them.
5 And in those times there was no peace to him who went out, nor to him who came in; but great vexations were on all the inhabitants of the lands.
6 And they were broken in pieces, nation against nation, and city against city; for God vexed them with all adversity.
7 But be{+} strong, and don't let your{+} hands be slack; for your{+} work will be rewarded.
8 And when Asa heard these words, and the prophecy of Oded the prophet, he took courage, and put away the detestable things out of all the land of Judah and Benjamin, and out of the cities which he had taken from the hill-country of Ephraim; and he renewed the altar of Yahweh, that was before the porch of Yahweh.
9 And he gathered all Judah and Benjamin, and those who sojourned with them out of Ephraim and Manasseh, and out of Simeon: for they fell to him out of Israel in abundance, when they saw that Yahweh his God was with him.
10 So they gathered themselves together at Jerusalem in the third month, in the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa.
11 And they sacrificed to Yahweh in that day, of the spoil which they had brought, seven hundred oxen and seven thousand sheep.
12 And they entered into the covenant to seek Yahweh, the God of their fathers, with all their heart and with all their soul;
13 and that whoever would not seek Yahweh, the God of Israel, should be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman.
14 And they swore to Yahweh with a loud voice, and with shouting, and with trumpets, and with cornets.
15 And all Judah rejoiced at the oath; for they had sworn with all their heart, and sought him with their whole desire; and he was found of them: and Yahweh gave them rest round about.
16 And also Maacah, the mother of Asa the king, he removed from being queen, because she had made a horrible image for an Asherah; and Asa cut down her horrible image, and made dust of it, and burnt it at the brook Kidron.
17 But the high places were not taken away out of Israel: nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect all his days.
18 And he brought into the house of God the things that his father had dedicated, and that he himself had dedicated, silver, and gold, and vessels.
19 And there was no more war to the five and thirtieth year of the reign of Asa.
4 One thing I have asked of Yahweh, that I will seek after; That I may dwell in the house of Yahweh all the days of my life, To see the beauty of Yahweh, And to inquire in his temple.
11 Seek{} Yahweh and his strength; Seek his face evermore.
57 Yahweh our God be with us, as he was with our fathers: let him not leave us, nor forsake us;
4 Seek{} Yahweh and his strength; Seek his face evermore.
16 Now may the Lord of peace himself give you{} peace at all times in all ways. The Lord be with all of you{}.
18 I will not leave you{} desolate: I come to you{}.
6 Seek{} Yahweh while he may be found; call{} on him while he is near:
11 Finally, brothers, farewell. Be restored; be comforted; be of the same mind; live in peace: and the God of love and peace will be with you{}.
