8 Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and make your hearts pure, you who are half-hearted towards God.
13 For »every one, without exception, who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.«
31 We know that God does not listen to bad people, but that if any one is a God-fearing man and obeys Him, to him He listens.
13 And whatever any of you ask in my name, I will do, in order that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
14 If you make any request of me in my name, I will do it.
15 »If you love me, you will obey my commandments.
16 And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Advocate to be for ever with you–the Spirit of truth.
16 And now why delay? Rise, get yourself baptized, and wash off your sins, calling upon His name.'
11 If you then, imperfect as you are, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in Heaven give good things to those who ask Him!
10 and to await the return from Heaven of His Son, whom He raised from among the dead–even Jesus, our Deliverer from God's coming anger.
