Call

For I will then restore
pure speech to the peoples
so that all of them may call
on the name of Yahweh
and serve Him with a single purpose.

“Therefore, you should pray like this:

Our Father in heaven,
Your name be honored as holy.

“Keep asking,

and it will be given to you. Keep searching, and you will find. Keep knocking, and the door will be opened to you.

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

I pray that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, would give you a spirit

of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him.

For this reason I kneel before the Father

Who

For the Lord your God is the God of gods and Lord of lords, the great, mighty, and awesome God, showing no partiality and taking no bribe.

And now, may the terror of the Lord be on you. Watch what you do, for there is no injustice or partiality or taking bribes with the Lord our God.”

God is not partial to princes
and does not favor the rich over the poor,
for they are all the work of His hands.

They sent their disciples to Him, with the Herodians. “Teacher,” they said, “we know that You are truthful and teach truthfully the way of God. You defer to no one, for You don’t show partiality.

Then Peter began to speak: “Now I really understand that God doesn’t show favoritism,

but glory, honor, and peace for everyone who does what is good, first to the Jew, and also to the Greek.

Now from those recognized as important (what they really were makes no difference to me; God does not show favoritism

)—they added nothing to me.

And masters, treat your slaves the same way, without threatening them, because you know that both their Master and yours is in heaven, and there is no favoritism with Him.

For the wrongdoer will be paid back for whatever wrong he has done, and there is no favoritism.

Pass

Jacob said to Pharaoh, “My pilgrimage has lasted 130 years. My years have been few and hard, and they have not surpassed the years of my fathers during their pilgrimages.”

For we live before You as foreigners and temporary residents in Your presence as were all our ancestors. Our days on earth are like a shadow, without hope.

“Hear my prayer, Lord,
and listen to my cry for help;
do not be silent at my tears.
For I am a foreigner residing with You,
a temporary resident like all my fathers.

These all died in faith without having received the promises, but they saw them from a distance, greeted them, and confessed that they were foreigners and temporary residents on the earth.

In fear

Dear friends, I urge you as strangers and temporary residents to abstain from fleshly desires that war against you.

A wise man is cautious and turns from evil,
but a fool is easily angered and is careless.

Happy is the one who is always reverent,
but one who hardens his heart falls into trouble.

True enough; they were broken off by unbelief, but you stand by faith. Do not be arrogant, but be afraid.

So, we are always confident and know that while we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord.

Therefore, dear friends, since we have such promises, let us cleanse ourselves from every impurity of the flesh and spirit, completing our sanctification in the fear of God.

So then, my dear friends, just as you have always obeyed, not only in my presence, but now even more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.

Therefore, while the promise to enter His rest remains, let us fear that none of you should miss it.

Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us hold on to grace. By it, we may serve God acceptably, with reverence and awe,

General references

Then great fear came on the whole church and on all who heard these things.

There is no favoritism with God.
