¹¹ Truth from the earth springeth up, And righteousness from heaven looketh out,

⁸ Drop, ye heavens, from above, And clouds do cause righteousness to flow, Earth openeth, and they are fruitful, Salvation and righteousness spring up together, I, Jehovah, have prepared it.

²⁰ and we have known that the Son of God is come, and hath given us a mind, that we may know Him who is true, and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ; this one is the true God and the life age-during!

²¹ Little children, guard yourselves from the idols! Amen.

⁶ to the praise of the glory of His grace, in which He did make us accepted in the beloved,

²¹ for him who did not know sin, in our behalf He did make sin, that we may become the righteousness of God in him.

⁶ Jesus saith to him, `I am the way, and the truth, and the life, no one doth come unto the Father, if not through me;

¹⁴ `Glory in the highest to God, and upon earth peace, among men -- good will.'

⁵ While he is yet speaking, lo, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and lo, a voice out of the cloud, saying, `This is My Son, -- the Beloved, in whom I did delight; hear him.'

¹⁷ and lo, a voice out of the heavens, saying, `This is My Son -- the Beloved, in whom I did delight.'

² Yea, he cometh up as a tender plant before Him, And as a root out of a dry land, He hath no form, nor honour, when we observe him, Nor appearance, when we desire him.

²¹ Jehovah hath delight for the sake of His righteousness, He magnifieth law, and maketh honourable.

² In that day is the Shoot of Jehovah for desire and for honour, And the fruit of the earth For excellence and for beauty to the escaped of Israel.
