²³ For this night there came to my side an angel of the God who is my Master and whose servant I am,

¹⁹ But in the night an angel of the Lord, opening the doors of the prison, took them out and said,

¹¹ And the night after, the Lord came to his side and said, Be of good heart, for as you have been witnessing for me in Jerusalem, so will you be my witness in Rome.

⁹ For God is my witness, whose servant I am in spirit in the good news of his Son, that you are at all times in my memory and in my prayers,

²² Then Daniel said to the king, O King, have life for ever.

¹⁶ Then these men said to the king, Be certain, O King, that by the law of the Medes and Persians no order or law which the king has put into force may be changed.

⁹ And the Lord said to Paul in the night, in a vision, Have no fear and go on preaching:

¹⁷ But the Lord was by my side and gave me strength; so that through me the news might be given out in full measure, and all the Gentiles might give ear: and I was taken out of the mouth of the lion.

¹⁴ Are they not all helping spirits, who are sent out as servants to those whose heritage will be salvation?

²² But now, being free from sin, and having been made servants to God, you have your fruit in that which is holy, and the end is eternal life.

¹⁷ She came after Paul and us, crying out and saying, These men are the servants of the Most High God, who are giving you news of the way of salvation.

¹⁴ Who gave himself for us, so that he might make us free from all wrongdoing, and make for himself a people clean in heart and on fire with good works.

²³ And straight away the angel of the Lord sent a disease on him, because he did not give the glory to God: and his flesh was wasted away by worms, and so he came to his end.

²⁰ For a payment has been made for you: let God be honoured in your body.

³ I give praise to God, whose servant I have been, with a heart free from sin, from the time of my fathers, because in my prayers at all times the thought of you is with me, night and day

²⁴ For it is not right for the Lord's servant to make trouble, but he is to be gentle to all, ready in teaching, putting up with wrong,

¹ Paul, a servant of God, and an Apostle of Jesus Christ, in agreement with the faith of the saints of God and the full knowledge of what is true in harmony with religion,

⁹ But you are a special people, a holy nation, priests and kings, a people given up completely to God, so that you may make clear the virtues of him who took you out of the dark into the light of heaven.

¹⁰ In the past you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; then there was no mercy for you, but now mercy has been given to you.

¹⁶ I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give witness to you of these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, the bright and morning star.

¹⁶ My loved one is mine, and I am his: he takes his food among the flowers.

⁸ Then the angel said, Put on your shoes and get ready to go. And he did so. And he said, Put your coat round you and come with me.

⁹ And he went out after him; and he was not certain if what was done by the angel was a fact, for it seemed to him that he was seeing a vision.

¹⁰ And when they had gone past the first and second watchmen they came to the iron door into the town, which came open by itself: and they went out and down one street; and then the angel went away.

¹¹ And when Peter came to his senses he said, Now, truly, I am certain that the Lord has sent his angel and taken me out of the hands of Herod, against all the hopes of the Jews.

²⁶ But an angel of the Lord said to Philip, Get up, and go to the south, to the road which goes from Jerusalem to Gaza, through the waste land.

³³ But this is the agreement which I will make with the people of Israel after those days, says the Lord; I will put my law in their inner parts, writing it in their hearts; and I will be their God, and they will be my people.

²¹ Keep these things in mind, O Jacob; and you Israel, for you are my servant: I have made you; you are my servant; O Israel, I will not let you go out of my memory.

⁵ One will say, I am the Lord's; and another will give himself the name, Jacob; another will put a mark on his hand, I am the Lord's, and another will take the name of Israel for himself.

³ I am for my loved one, and my loved one is for me; he takes food among the lilies.

¹² And in your mercy put an end to my haters, and send destruction on all those who are against my soul; for I am your servant.

⁴ For the Lord has taken Jacob for himself, and Israel for his property.

¹⁶ O Lord, truly I am your servant; I am your servant, the son of her who is your servant; by you have my cords been broken.

⁹ For the Lord's wealth is his people; Jacob is the land of his heritage.

³⁸ And they will be my people, and I will be their God:

³⁸ Like sheep for the offerings, like the sheep of Jerusalem at her fixed feasts, so the unpeopled towns will be made full of men: and they will be certain that I am the Lord.

⁹ My prayer is for them: my prayer is not for the world, but for those whom you have given to me, because they are yours

¹⁰ (All mine are yours, and yours are mine) and I have glory in them.

²⁶ If any man is my servant, let him come after me; and where I am, there will my servant be. If any man becomes my servant, my Father will give him honour.

¹⁷ And they will be mine, says the Lord, in the day when I make them my special property; and I will have mercy on them as a man has mercy on his son who is his servant.

⁹ And I will make the third part go through the fire, cleaning them as silver is made clean, and testing them as gold is tested: and they will make their prayer to me and I will give them an answer: I will say, It is my people; and they will say, The Lord is my God.

²⁰ Then very early in the morning the king got up and went quickly to the lions' hole.

²⁸ Nebuchadnezzar made answer and said, Praise be to the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, who has sent his angel and kept his servants safe who had faith in him, and who put the king's word on one side and gave up their bodies to the fire, so that they might not be servants or worshippers of any other god but their God.

²⁶ Then Nebuchadnezzar came near the door of the burning and flaming fire: he made answer and said, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, you servants of the Most High God, come out and come here. Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego came out of the fire.

¹⁷ If our God, whose servants we are, is able to keep us safe from the burning and flaming fire, and from your hands, O King, he will keep us safe.

⁵ If now you will truly give ear to my voice and keep my agreement, you will be my special property out of all the peoples: for all the earth is mine:
