2But having suffered many things before and been shamefully treated, (as you know) at Philippi, we had confidence in our God, to speak unto you the gospel of God in much carefulness.

3For our exhortation was not of error, nor of uncleanness, nor in deceit.

4But as we were approved by God that the gospel should be committed to us: even so we speak, not as pleasing men but God, who proveth our hearts.

5For neither have we used at any time the speech of flattery, as you know: nor taken an occasion of covetousness (God is witness):

6Nor sought we glory of men, neither of you, nor of others.

7Whereas we might have been burdensome to you, as the apostles of Christ: but we became little ones in the midst of you, as if a nurse should cherish her children:

8So desirous of you, we would gladly impart unto you not only the gospel of God but also our own souls: because you were become most dear unto us.

2The mercies of the Lord I will sing for ever. I will shew forth thy truth with my mouth to generation and generation.

3For thou hast said: Mercy shall be built up for ever in the heavens: thy truth shall be prepared in them.

4I have made a covenant with my elect: I have sworn to David my servant:

5Thy seed will I settle for ever. And I will build up thy throne unto generation and generation.

21I have found David my servant: with my holy oil I have anointed him.

22For my hand shall help him: and my arm shall strengthen him.

25And my truth and my mercy shall be with him: and in my name shall his horn be exalted.

27He shall cry out to me: Thou art my father: my God, and the support of my salvation.

15When therefore they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter: Simon, son of John, lovest thou me more than these? He saith to him: Yea, Lord, thou knowest that I love thee. He saith to him: Feed my lambs.

16He saith to him again: Simon, son of John, lovest thou me? He saith to him: yea, Lord, thou knowest that I love thee. He saith to him: Feed my lambs.

17He said to him the third time: Simon, son of John, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he had said to him the third time: Lovest thou me? And he said to him: Lord, thou knowest all things: thou knowest that I love thee. He said to him: Feed my sheep.
