Call

For then I will give the people a clean language, so that they may all make prayer to the Lord and be his servants with one mind.

Let this then be your prayer: Our Father in heaven, may your name be kept holy.

Make a request, and it will be answered; what you are searching for you will get; give the sign, and the door will be open to you:

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

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

For this cause I go down on my knees before the Father,

Who

For the Lord your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great God, strong in power and greatly to be feared, who has no respect for any man's position and takes no rewards:

So now let the fear of the Lord be in you; do your work with care; for in the Lord our God there is no evil, or respect for high position, or taking of payment to do wrong.

Who has no respect for rulers, and who gives no more attention to those who have wealth than to the poor, for they are all the work of his hands.

And they sent to him their disciples, with the Herodians, saying, Master, we see that you are true, and that you are teaching the true way of God, and have no fear of anyone, because you have no respect for a man's position.

Then Peter said, Truly, I see clearly that God is no respecter of persons:

But glory and honour and peace to all whose works are good, to the Jew first and then to the Greek:

But from those who seemed to be important (whatever they were has no weight with me: God does not take man's person into account): those who seemed to be important gave nothing new to me;

And, you masters, do the same things to them, not making use of violent words: in the knowledge that their Master and yours is in heaven, and he has no respect for a man's position.

For the wrongdoer will have punishment for the wrong he has done, without respect for any man's position.

Pass

And Jacob said, The years of my wanderings have been a hundred and thirty; small in number and full of sorrow have been the years of my life, and less than the years of the wanderings of my fathers.

For we, as all our fathers were, are like men from a strange country before you, who have got a place for a time in the land; our days on the earth are like a shade, and there is no hope of going on.

Let my prayer come to your ears, O Lord, and give attention to my cry, make an answer to my weeping: for my time here is short before you, and in a little time I will be gone, like all my fathers.

All these came to their end in faith, not having had the heritage; but having seen it with delight far away, they gave witness that they were wanderers and not of the earth.

In fear

My loved ones, I make this request with all my heart, that, as those for whom this world is a strange country, you will keep yourselves from the desires of the flesh which make war against the soul;

The wise man, fearing, keeps himself from evil; but the foolish man goes on in his pride, with no thought of danger.

Happy is the man in whom is the fear of the Lord at all times; but he whose heart is hard will come into trouble.

Truly, because they had no faith they were broken off, and you have your place by reason of your faith. Do not be lifted up in pride, but have fear;

So, then, we are ever without fear, and though conscious that while we are in the body we are away from the Lord,

Because God, then, will give us such rewards, dear brothers, let us make ourselves clean from all evil of flesh and spirit, and become completely holy in the fear of God.

So then, my loved ones, as you have at all times done what I say, not only when I am present, but now much more when I am not with you, give yourselves to working out your salvation with fear in your hearts;

Let us then, though we still have God's word that we may come into his rest, go in fear that some of you may be unable to do so.

If then, we have a kingdom which will never be moved, let us have grace, so that we may give God such worship as is pleasing to him with fear and respect:

General references

Then great fear came on all the church and on all who had knowledge of these things.

For one man is not different from another before God.
