⁴ I am crying out to you, O men; my voice comes to the sons of men.

¹⁷ And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him who gives ear, say, Come. And let him who is in need come; and let everyone desiring it take of the water of life freely.

¹¹ For the grace of God has come, giving salvation to all men,

¹² Training us so that, turning away from evil and the desires of this world, we may be living wisely and uprightly in the knowledge of God in this present life;

⁴ Whose desire is that all men may have salvation and come to the knowledge of what is true.

⁵ For there is one God and one peacemaker between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,

⁶ Who gave himself as an offering for all; witness of which was to be given at the right time;

²⁸ Whom we are preaching; guiding and teaching every man in all wisdom, so that every man may be complete in Christ;

²³ If you keep yourselves safely based in the faith, not moved from the hope of the good news which came to you, and which was given to every living being under heaven; of which I, Paul, was made a servant.

¹⁹ That is, that God was in Christ making peace between the world and himself, not putting their sins to their account, and having given to us the preaching of this news of peace.

²⁰ So we are the representatives of Christ, as if God was making a request to you through us: we make our request to you, in the name of Christ, be at peace with God.

¹⁶ For God had such love for the world that he gave his only Son, so that whoever has faith in him may not come to destruction but have eternal life.

¹⁵ He who has ears, let him give ear.

¹ <A Psalm. Of Asaph.> The God of gods, even the Lord, has sent out his voice, and the earth is full of fear; from the coming up of the sun to its going down.

¹ <Alamoth. To the chief music-maker. Of the sons of Korah. A Psalm.> Give attention to this, all you peoples; let your ears be open, all you who are living in the world.

² High and low together, the poor, and those who have wealth.

³ From my mouth will come words of wisdom; and in the thoughts of my heart will be knowledge.
