MOST HOLY
But you, dear friends, build yourselves up in your most holy faith and pray in the Holy Spirit.
But you, dear friends, build yourselves up in your most holy faith and pray in the Holy Spirit.
Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.
To those who have been called, who are loved by God the Father and kept by Jesus Christ:
Mercy, peace and love be yours in abundance.
Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.
But because of His great love for us, God, Who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions- it is by grace you have been saved.
But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of Him Who called you out of darkness into His wonderful light.
Grace, mercy and peace from God the Father and from Jesus Christ, the Father’s Son, will be with us in truth and love.
By His boundless mercy we have been born again to an ever-living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.
Clothe yourselves therefore, as God’s chosen ones (His own picked representatives) who are purified and holy and well beloved by God Himself by putting on behavior marked by tender-hearted pity and mercy, kind feeling, a humble esteem of ourselves, gentle patience which is tireless and long-suffering and has the power to endure whatever comes with good temper
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercy and the God of every comfort and encouragement.
