But his wife said to him, “If the Lord had desired to kill us, He would not have accepted a burnt offering and a grain offering from our hands, nor would He have shown us all these things, nor would He have let us hear things like this at this time.”

The secret of the Lord is for those who fear Him,
And He will make them know His covenant.

Abel, on his part also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of their fat portions. And the Lord had regard for Abel and for his offering;

I would have despaired unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord
In the land of the living.

Show me a sign for good,
That those who hate me may see it and be ashamed,
Because You, O Lord, have helped me and comforted me.

For the devious are an abomination to the Lord;
But He is intimate with the upright.

Two are better than one because they have a good return for their labor.

In that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you.

Jesus answered and said to him, If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our abode with him.

No longer do I call you slaves, for the slave does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I have heard from My Father I have made known to you.

And the eye cannot say to the hand, “I have no need of you”; or again the head to the feet, “I have no need of you.”
