The Second Book of Chronicles 36: 14-16, 19-23
| 36:14 | Unya usab, all the leaders of the priests, with the people, transgressed iniquitously, in accord with all the abominations of the Gentiles. And they polluted the house of the Lord, which he had sanctified to himself in Jerusalem. |
| 36:15 | Then the Lord, the God of their fathers, sent to them, by the hand of his messengers, rising in the night and daily admonishing them. For he was lenient to his people and to his habitation. |
| 36:16 | But they ridiculed the messengers of God, and they gave little weight to his words, and they mocked the prophets, until the fury of the Lord ascended against his people, and there was no remedy. |
| 36:19 | The enemies set fire to the house of God, and they destroyed the wall of Jerusalem. They burned down all the towers. And whatever was precious, they demolished. |
| 36:20 | If anyone had escaped from the sword, he was led into Babylon. And he served the king and his sons, until the king of Persia would command, |
| 36:21 | and the word of the Lord by the mouth of Jeremiah would be fulfilled, and the land would celebrate her Sabbaths. For during all the days of the desolation, she kept a Sabbath, until the seventy years were completed. |
| 36:22 | Unya, in the first year of Cyrus, the king of the Persians, in order to fulfill the word of the Lord, which he had spoken by the mouth of Jeremiah, the Lord stirred up the heart of Cyrus, the king of the Persians, who commanded this to be proclaimed throughout his entire kingdom, and also in writing, nag-ingon: |
| 36:23 | “Thus says Cyrus, the king of the Persians: Ang Ginoo, the God of heaven, has given to me all the kingdoms of the earth. And he has instructed me that I should build for him a house in Jerusalem, which is in Judea. Who among you is from his entire people? May the Lord his God be with him, and let him ascend.” |
Ang Sulat ni San Pablo sa mga Taga-Efeso 2: 4-10
| 2:4 | Yet still, Dios, who is rich in mercy, for the sake of his exceedingly great charity with which he loved us, |
| 2:5 | even when we were dead in our sins, has enlivened us together in Christ, by whose grace you have been saved. |
| 2:6 | And he has raised us up together, and he has caused us to sit down together in the heavens, diha ni Kristo Jesus, |
| 2:7 | so that he may display, in the ages soon to arrive, the abundant wealth of his grace, by his goodness toward us in Christ Jesus. |
| 2:8 | For by grace, you have been saved through faith. And this is not of yourselves, for it is a gift of God. |
| 2:9 | And this is not of works, so that no one may glory. |
| 2:10 | For we are his handiwork, created in Christ Jesus for the good works which God has prepared and in which we should walk. |
Juan 3: 14- 21
| 3:14 | Ug ingon nga giisa ni Moises ang bitin didto sa kamingawan, maingon man usab kinahanglan igaisa ang Anak sa tawo, |
| 3:15 | aron ang tanan nga mosalig kaniya dili malaglag, apan makabaton ug kinabuhing dayon. |
| 3:16 | Kay gihigugma pag-ayo sa Dios ang kalibotan nga gihatag niya ang iyang bugtong nga Anak, aron ang tanan nga mosalig kaniya dili malaglag, apan makabaton ug kinabuhing dayon. |
| 3:17 | Kay ang Dios wala magpadala sa iyang Anak nganhi sa kalibutan, aron sa paghukom sa kalibutan, kondili aron ang kalibutan maluwas pinaagi kaniya. |
| 3:18 | Bisan kinsa nga mosalig kaniya dili pagahukman. Apan ang dili motuo gihukman na, tungod kay wala siya motuo sa ngalan sa bugtong nga Anak sa Diyos. |
| 3:19 | Ug kini mao ang paghukom: nga ang Kahayag mianhi sa kalibutan, ug ang mga tawo nahigugma sa kangitngit labaw kay sa kahayag. Kay ang ilang mga buhat mga dautan. |
| 3:20 | Kay ang tanan nga nagabuhat ug dautan nagadumot sa kahayag ug dili moadto sa kahayag, aron ang iyang mga buhat dili matul-id. |
| 3:21 | Apan bisan kinsa nga nagabuhat sa kamatuoran moadto sa kahayag, aron ang iyang mga buhat mapadayag, tungod kay sila natuman diha sa Dios.” |
