but the word of the Lord lasts for ever ??and that is the word of the gospel for you.

a stone over which men stumble and a rock of offence; they stumble over it in their disobedience to God's word. Such is their appointed doom.

He committed no sin, no guile was ever found upon his lips;

If anyone preaches, he must preach as one who utters the words of God; if anyone renders some service, it must be as one who is supplied by God with power, so that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ. The glory and the dominion are his for ever and ever: Amen.

The dominion is his for ever and ever: Amen.
