²¹ And thine ear heareth a word behind thee, Saying, `This `is' the way, go ye in it,' When ye turn to the right, And when ye turn to the left.

¹ In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God;

¹⁶ every Writing `is' God-breathed, and profitable for teaching, for conviction, for setting aright, for instruction that `is' in righteousness,

¹⁷ that the man of God may be fitted -- for every good work having been completed.

²⁷ according as I said to you: My sheep my voice do hear, and I know them, and they follow me,

⁴ My voice `is' unto Jehovah: I call: And He answereth me from his holy hill, Selah.

²⁴ `Therefore, every one who doth hear of me these words, and doth do them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house upon the rock;

²⁵ and the rain did descend, and the streams came, and the winds blew, and they beat on that house, and it fell not, for it had been founded on the rock.

²⁶ `And every one who is hearing of me these words, and is not doing them, shall be likened to a foolish man who built his house upon the sand;

⁴⁵ it is having been written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God; every one therefore who heard from the Father, and learned, cometh to me;

¹⁴ And the Word became flesh, and did tabernacle among us, and we beheld his glory, glory as of an only begotten of a father, full of grace and truth.

²⁴ `Verily, verily, I say to you -- He who is hearing my word, and is believing Him who sent me, hath life age-during, and to judgment he doth not come, but hath passed out of the death to the life.

²⁵ `Verily, verily, I say to you -- There cometh an hour, and it now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God, and those having heard shall live;

²⁶ for, as the Father hath life in himself, so He gave also to the Son to have life in himself,

²⁸ And he said, `Yea, rather, happy those hearing the word of God, and keeping `it'!'

²⁰ this first knowing, that no prophecy of the Writing doth come of private exposition,

²¹ for not by will of man did ever prophecy come, but by the Holy Spirit borne on holy men of God spake.

³ The voice of Jehovah `is' on the waters, The God of glory hath thundered, Jehovah `is' on many waters.

⁴ The voice of Jehovah `is' with power, The voice of Jehovah `is' with majesty,

⁵ The voice of Jehovah `is' shivering cedars, Yea, Jehovah shivers the cedars of Lebanon.

⁶ And He causeth them to skip as a calf, Lebanon and Sirion as a son of Reems,

¹⁷ so then the faith `is' by a report, and the report through a saying of God,

³ Call unto Me, and I do answer thee, yea, I declare to thee great and fenced things -- thou hast not known them.

⁴⁷ he who is of God, the sayings of God he doth hear; because of this ye do not hear, because of God ye are not.'
