²¹ Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, we have boldness toward God;

²⁸ And now, `my' little children, abide in him; that, if he shall be manifested, we may have boldness, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.

¹⁴ And this is the boldness which we have toward him, that, if we ask anything according to his will, he heareth us:

¹⁶ Let us therefore draw near with boldness unto the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy, and may find grace to help `us' in time of need.

¹² For our glorifying is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in holiness and sincerity of God, not in fleshly wisdom but in the grace of God, we behaved ourselves in the world, and more abundantly to you-ward.

²⁶ For then shalt thou delight thyself in the Almighty, And shalt lift up thy face unto God.

⁴ For I know nothing against myself; yet am I not hereby justified: but he that judgeth me is the Lord.

² I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way: Oh when wilt thou come unto me? I will walk within my house with a perfect heart.

³ O Jehovah my God, if I have done this; If there be iniquity in my hands;

⁴ If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me; (Yea, I have delivered him that without cause was mine adversary;)

⁵ Let the enemy pursue my soul, and overtake it; Yea, let him tread my life down to the earth, And lay my glory in the dust. Selah

⁶ My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go: My heart shall not reproach `me' so long as I live.

¹⁷ Herein is love made perfect with us, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment; because as he is, even so are we in this world.

²² let us draw near with a true heart in fulness of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience: and having our body washed with pure water,

⁸ I desire therefore that the men pray in every place, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and disputing.
