1 THESSALONIANS 1:1-10 PAUL, AND SILVANUS,  AND TIMOTHEUS, UNTO  THE CHURCH OF THE THESSALONIANS  WHICH IS IN GOD   THE FATHER  AND IN THE LORD   JESUS CHRIST:  GRACE BE UNTO YOU,  AND  PEACE,  FROM OUR FATHER,  AND  THE LORD JESUS CHRIST.   WE GIVE THANKS TO GOD ALWAYS FOR YOU ALL,   MAKING MENTION  OF YOU  IN OUR PRAYERS;  REMEMBERING  WITHOUT CEASING  YOUR WORK OF FAITH,  AND  LABOUR OF LOVE,  AND  PATIENCE OF HOPE  IN OUR LORD  JESUS CHRIST,   IN THE SIGHT OF  GOD AND OUR FATHER;  KNOWING, BRETHREN BELOVED, YOUR ELECTION OF GOD. FOR OUR GOSPEL  CAME NOT UNTO YOU  IN WORD ONLY,  BUT ALSO  IN  POWER,  AND  IN  THE HOLY GHOST,  AND  IN  MUCH ASSURANCE;  AS YE KNOW  WHAT MANNER OF MEN ...

EPHESIANS 1:1-6 PAUL,  AN APOSTLE  OF JESUS CHRIST  BY THE WILL OF GOD,  TO THE SAINTS  WHICH ARE AT EPHESUS,   AND  TO THE FAITHFUL  IN CHRIST JESUS:  GRACE BE TO YOU,  AND  PEACE,  FROM  GOD OUR FATHER, AND  FROM  THE LORD  JESUS CHRIST.   BLESSED  BE THE  GOD AND FATHER  OF  OUR LORD  JESUS CHRIST, WHO HATH BLESSED US  WITH  ALL SPIRITUAL  BLESSINGS  IN HEAVENLY PLACES  IN CHRIST:  ACCORDING AS HE HATH  CHOSEN  US IN HIM  BEFORE THE FOUNDATION  OF THE WORLD,  THAT WE SHOULD BE HOLY AND WITHOUT BLAME BEFORE HIM IN LOVE:   HAVING PREDESTINATED  US UNTO  THE ADOPTION  OF  CHILDREN  BY  JESUS CHRIST  TO HIMSELF,  ACCORDING TO  THE GOOD  PLEASURE OF HIS WILL.  ...

Psalm 82:1-8   GOD STANDETH IN THE  CONGREGATION  OF THE MIGHTY;   HE JUDGETH  AMONG THE  gods.   HOW LONG  WILL YE JUDGE  UNJUSTLY,  AND  ACCEPT THE PERSONS  OF THE WICKED?   SELAH.  DEFEND THE POOR  AND  FATHERLESS:  DO JUSTICE  TO THE AFFLICTED  AND  NEEDY.  DELIVER THE POOR  AND  NEEDY:  RID THEM OUT  OF  THE HAND  OF  THE WICKED.   THEY KNOW NOT,   NEITHER WILL  THEY UNDERSTAND;  THEY WALK ON  IN DARKNESS;   ALL THE FOUNDATIONS  OF THE EARTH  ARE OUT OF COURSE.  I HAVE SAID, YE ARE GODS;  AND  ALL OF YOU  ARE CHILDREN  OF  THE MOST HIGH.  BUT YE  SHALL DIE LIKE MEN, AND  FALL LIKE ONE  OF THE PRINCES.   ARISE, O GOD,  JUDGE THE EARTH:   FOR  THOU SHALL  INHERIT ALL NATION...
