Who would have believed ¹  what we ²  just heard? ³  When ⁴  was the Lord’s power ⁵  revealed through him?

Yet the Lord our God is compassionate and forgiving, ¹  even though we have rebelled against him.

Peter began to speak to him, “Look, ¹  we have left everything to follow you!” ² 

Then you will begin to say, ‘We ate and drank in your presence, and you taught in our streets.’ ¹ 

We ¹  have come to believe and to know ²  that you are the Holy One of God!” ³ 

The officers replied, “No one ever spoke like this man!”

for it is impossible ¹  for us not to speak about what we have seen and heard.”

Where, then, is boasting? ¹  It is excluded! By what principle? ²  Of works? No, but by the principle of faith!

For we consider that a person ¹  is declared righteous by faith apart from the works of the law. ² 

Absolutely not! How can we who died to sin still live in it?

And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son to be the Savior ¹  of the world.

They said to him, “We have come down to take you prisoner so we can hand you over to the Philistines.” Samson said to them, “Promise me ¹  you will not kill ²  me.”

Then they cried out to the Lord and admitted, ¹  ‘We have sinned, for we have forsaken the Lord and have served the Baals and the images of Ashtoreth. ²  Now deliver us from the hand of our enemies so that we may serve you.’ ³

When that year was over, they came to him the next year and said to him, “We cannot hide from our ¹  lord that the money is used up and the livestock and the animals belong to our lord. Nothing remains before our lord except our bodies and our land.

You said, “The Lord our God has shown us his great glory ¹  and we have heard him speak from the middle of the fire. It is now clear to us ²  that God can speak to human beings and they can keep on living.

For the Lord our God took us and our fathers out of slavery ¹  in the land of Egypt ²  and performed these awesome miracles ³  before our very eyes. He continually protected us as we traveled and when we passed through nations. ⁴ 

פ (Pe) All your enemies gloated over you. ¹  They sneered and gnashed their teeth; they said, “We have destroyed ²  her! Ha! We have waited a long time for this day. We have lived to see it!” ³ 

Have you been thinking all this time ¹  that we have been defending ourselves to you? We are speaking in Christ before God, and everything we do, dear friends, is to build you up. ²
