and to have passed by you into Macedonia, and to have come again out of Macedonia unto you, and to have been led forth to Jewry ward of you.

For all the promises of God, in him are "Yea": and are in him "Amen," unto the laud of God through us.

in whom the God of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest should shine unto them the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, which is the image of God.

For it is God that commanded the light to shine out of darkness, which hath shined in our hearts, for to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

Let him that rejoiceth, rejoice in the Lord.

And no marvel, for Satan himself is changed into the fashion of an angel of light.
