Without faith it is impossible to please him. – So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. – The Lord taketh pleasure in his people. |
This is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully. … If, when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye take it patiently, this is acceptable with God. – The ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, … is in the sight of God of great price. |
Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me: and to him that ordereth his conversation aright will I show the salvation of God. – I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving. This also shall please the Lord better than an ox or bullock that hath horns and hoofs. |
I beseech you … brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. |
