Since you have had the messiah, even Jesus the Lord, brought to you, lead your life in him,

(Truly, truly I tell you, he who receives anyone I send receives me, and he who receives me receives him who sent me.)"

He who receives you receives me, and he who receives me receives Him who sent me.

and whoever receives a little child like this for my sake, receives me.

"Whoever receives one of these little ones in my name receives me, and whoever receives me receives not me but him who sent me."

then he said to them, "Whoever receives this little child in my name receives me, and whoever receives me receives him who sent me. For it is the lowliest of you all who is great."

He who listens to you listens to me, he who rejects you rejects me, and he who rejects me rejects him who sent me."

And Jesus cried aloud, "He who believes in me believes not in me but in him who sent me,

Let anyone practice it for whom it is practicable."

Whoever does accept it, certifies to the truth of God. For he whom God has sent utters the words of God ??God gives him the Spirit in no sparing measure;
