About three in the afternoon Jesus cried out with a loud voice, “Elí, Elí, lemá sabachtháni?” that is, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?”

“Why do you call Me good?” Jesus asked him. “No one is good but One—God.

And at three Jesus cried out with a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lemá sabachtháni?” which is translated, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?”

“Why do you call Me good?” Jesus asked him. “No one is good but One—God.

“Don’t cling to Me,” Jesus told her, “for I have not yet ascended to the Father. But go to My brothers and tell them that I am ascending to My Father and your Father—to My God and your God.”

Thomas responded to Him, “My Lord and my God!”

Then I also heard a voice telling me, ‘Get up, Peter; kill and eat!’

“Then I said, ‘What should I do, Lord?’

“And the Lord told me, ‘Get up and go into Damascus, and there you will be told about everything that is assigned for you to do.’

First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you because the news of your faith is being reported in all the world.

I always thank my God for you because of God’s grace given to you in Christ Jesus,

I fear that when I come my God will again humiliate me in your presence, and I will grieve for many who sinned before and have not repented of the moral impurity, sexual immorality, and promiscuity they practiced.

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.

I give thanks to my God for every remembrance of you,

And my God will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.

I always thank my God when I mention you in my prayers,

Be alert and strengthen what remains, which is about to die, for I have not found your works complete before My God.

The victor: I will make him a pillar in the sanctuary of My God, and he will never go out again. I will write on him the name of My God and the name of the city of My God—the new Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from My God—and My new name.
