Call

For then will I turn to the people a pure language, that they may all call upon the name of the LORD, to serve him with one consent.

After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:

Grace be to you and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:

For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,

Who

For the LORD your God is God of gods, and Lord of lords, a great God, a mighty, and a terrible, which regardeth not persons, nor taketh reward:

Wherefore now let the fear of the LORD be upon you; take heed and do it: for there is no iniquity with the LORD our God, nor respect of persons, nor taking of gifts.

How much less to him that accepteth not the persons of princes, nor regardeth the rich more than the poor? for they all are the work of his hands.

And they sent out unto him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, Master, we know that thou art true, and teachest the way of God in truth, neither carest thou for any man: for thou regardest not the person of men.

Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:

But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile:

But of these who seemed to be somewhat, (whatsoever they were, it maketh no matter to me: God accepteth no man's person:) for they who seemed to be somewhat in conference added nothing to me:

And, ye masters, do the same things unto them, forbearing threatening: knowing that your Master also is in heaven; neither is there respect of persons with him.

But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done: and there is no respect of persons.

Pass

And Jacob said unto Pharaoh, The days of the years of my pilgrimage are an hundred and thirty years: few and evil have the days of the years of my life been, and have not attained unto the days of the years of the life of my fathers in the days of their pilgrimage.

For we are strangers before thee, and sojourners, as were all our fathers: our days on the earth are as a shadow, and there is none abiding.

Hear my prayer, O LORD, and give ear unto my cry; hold not thy peace at my tears: for I am a stranger with thee, and a sojourner, as all my fathers were.

These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.

In fear

Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;

A wise man feareth, and departeth from evil: but the fool rageth, and is confident.

Happy is the man that feareth alway: but he that hardeneth his heart shall fall into mischief.

Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear:

Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord:

Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.

Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.

Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:
