True, the Son of Man is passing, by the way ordained for him, yet alas for that man by whom he is being betrayed!"

And, as it is ordained for men to die but once (death being followed by judgment),

Never ordain any one hastily, and take no part in the wrong-doing of others. Keep your life pure.

We know that God never listens to bad men, but, when a man is god-fearing and does God's will, God listens to him.

'I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob'? He is not the God of dead men, but of living."

As to the dead, and the fact that they rise, have you never read in the Book of Moses, in the passage about the Bush, how God spoke to him thus--'I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob'?

What agreement can thee be between a temple of God and idols? And we are a temple of the Living God. That is what God meant when he said--'I will dwell among them, and walk among them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

And, moreover, we have learned to know, and have accepted as a fact, the love which God has for us. God is Love; and he who lives in love lives in God, and God in him.

We realize, too, that the Son of God has come among us, and has given us the discernment to know the True God; and we are in union with the True God by our union with his Son, Jesus Christ. He is the True God and he is Immortal Life.

He who conquers--I will make him a pillar in the Temple of my God; and never more shall he leave it; and I will write on him the name of my God and the name of the City of my God, the New Jerusalem, which is coming down out of Heaven from my God, and I will write on him my new name.

He who comes from God listens to God's teaching; the reason why you do not listen is because you do not come from God."

And I heard a loud voice from the throne, which said-- 'See! the Tabernacle of God is set up among men. God will dwell among them, and they will be his Peoples, and God himself will be among them,

He has trusted in God; if God wants him, let him deliver him now; for he said 'I am God's Son.'"

As to the fact that the dead rise, even Moses indicated that, in the passage about the Bush, when he calls the Lord--'The God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.'

For he whom God sent as his Messenger gives us God's own teaching, for God does not limit the gift of the Spirit.

Or can it be that God is the God only of the Jews? Is not he also the God of the Gentiles?
