The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.

For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.

Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.

Rise and be baptized and wash away your sins, calling on his name.

The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.
