Paul replied, "I pray to God that whether in a short or a long time not only you but also all those who are listening to me today could become such as I am, except for these chains."

As day was about to dawn, Paul urged them all to take some food, saying, "Today is the fourteenth day you have been in suspense and have gone without food; you have eaten nothing.

For to which of the angels did God ever say, "You are my son! Today I have fathered you"? And in another place he says, "I will be his father and he will be my son."

Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says, "Oh, that today you would listen as he speaks!

But exhort one another each day, as long as it is called "Today," that none of you may become hardened by sin's deception.

As it says, "Oh, that today you would listen as he speaks! Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion."

So God again ordains a certain day, "Today," speaking through David after so long a time, as in the words quoted before, "O, that today you would listen as he speaks! Do not harden your hearts."

So also Christ did not glorify himself in becoming high priest, but the one who glorified him was God, who said to him, "You are my Son! Today I have fathered you,"

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever!

Come now, you who say, "Today or tomorrow we will go into this or that town and spend a year there and do business and make a profit."
