begging us with great earnestness for the blessing and fellowship of helping ¹  the saints.

And in their prayers on your behalf they long for you because of the extraordinary grace God has shown to you. ¹ 

Now an intermediary is not for one party alone, but God is one. ¹ 

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be ¹  with your spirit, brothers and sisters. ²  Amen.

I, Paul, write this greeting by my own hand. ¹  Remember my chains. ²  Grace be with you. ³ 

and our Lord’s grace was abundant, bringing faith and love in Christ Jesus. ¹ 

By professing it, some have strayed from the faith. ¹  Grace be with you all. ² 

to Timothy, my dear child. Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord!

Greet one another with a loving kiss. ¹  Peace to all of you who are in Christ. ² 

(Look! I am coming soon! Blessed is the one who keeps the words of the prophecy expressed in this book.) ¹ 

Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob and sent him off to Paddan Aram to find a wife there. ¹  As he blessed him, ²  Isaac commanded him, “You must not marry a Canaanite woman.” ³ 

Then ¹  he instructed the crowds to sit down on the grass. He took the five loaves and two fish, and looking up to heaven he gave thanks and broke the loaves. He gave them to the disciples, ²  who in turn gave them to the crowds. ³ 

He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke the loaves. He ¹  gave them to his ²  disciples to serve the people, and he divided the two fish among them all.

All the people, ¹  rulers, ²  leaders, and judges were standing on either side of the ark, in front of the Levitical priests who carried the ark of the covenant of the Lord. Both resident foreigners and native Israelites were there. ³  Half the people stood in front of Mount Gerizim and the other half in front of Mount Ebal, as Moses the Lord’s servant had previously instructed to them to do for the formal blessing ceremony. ⁴ 

God blessed them ¹  and said, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the water in the seas, and let the birds multiply on the earth.” ² 

but ¹  you must not eat ²  from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when ³  you eat from it you will surely die.” ⁴ 

for God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will open ¹  and you will be like divine beings who know ²  good and evil.” ³ 

After all, Abraham ¹  will surely become ²  a great and powerful nation, and all the nations on the earth will pronounce blessings on one another ³  using his name.

After Abraham’s death, God blessed ¹  his son Isaac. Isaac lived near Beer Lahai Roi. ² 

When Isaac planted in that land, he reaped in the same year a hundred times what he had sown, ¹  because the Lord blessed him. ²
