nor can they prove ¹  to you the things ²  they are accusing me of doing. ³ 

nor are all the children Abraham’s true descendants; rather “through Isaac will your descendants be counted.” ¹ 

“that it may go ¹  well with you and that you will live ²  a long time on the earth.” ³ 

I hope to come to you soon, but I am writing these instructions ¹  to you

Think about what I am saying and ¹  the Lord will give you understanding of all this. ² 

So, although I have quite a lot of confidence in Christ and could command you to do what is proper,

I have sent ¹  him (who is my very heart) ²  back to you.

God had told him, “Through Isaac descendants will carry on your name,” ¹ 

“Woe to you, Chorazin! ¹  Woe to you, Bethsaida! If ²  the miracles ³  done in you had been done in Tyre ⁴  and Sidon, ⁵  they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.

“Woe to you, Chorazin! ¹  Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if ²  the miracles ³  done in you had been done in Tyre ⁴  and Sidon, ⁵  they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.

They will demolish you ¹  – you and your children within your walls ²  – and they will not leave within you one stone ³  on top of another, ⁴  because you did not recognize the time of your visitation from God.” ⁵ 

Jesus replied, “You would have no authority ¹  over me at all, unless it was given to you from above. Therefore the one who handed me over to you ²  is guilty of greater sin.” ³ 

So I asked, ¹  ‘What should I do, Lord?’ The Lord said to me, ‘Get up ²  and go to Damascus; there you will be told about everything ³  that you have been designated ⁴  to do.’

But get up and stand on your feet, for I have appeared to you for this reason, to designate you in advance ¹  as a servant and witness ²  to the things ³  you have seen ⁴  and to the things in which I will appear to you.

I recall ¹  your sincere faith ²  that was alive first in your grandmother Lois and in your mother Eunice, and I am sure ³  is in you.

I tell you the truth, ¹  you will never get out of there until you have paid the last penny! ² 

And if someone wants to sue you and to take your tunic, ¹  give him your coat also.

Then ¹  an expert in the law ²  came to him and said, “Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go.” ³ 

Then the slave threw himself to the ground ¹  before him, saying, ²  ‘Be patient with me, and I will repay you everything.’

Then his fellow slave threw himself down and begged him, ¹  ‘Be patient with me, and I will repay you.’
