Isaiah 43: 1     ¶ But now thus saith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine.
2     When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.
3     For I am the LORD thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour: I gave Egypt for thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for thee.
4     Since thou wast precious in my sight, thou hast been honourable, and I have loved thee: therefore will I give men for thee, and people for thy life.
5     Fear not: for I am with thee: I will bring thy seed from the east, and gather thee from the west;
6     I will say to the north, Give up; and to the south, Keep not back: bring my sons from far, and my daughters from the ends of the earth;
7     Even every one that is called by my name: for I have created him for my glory, I have formed him; yea, I have made him.
8     ¶ Bring forth the blind people that have eyes, and the deaf that have ears.
9     Let all the nations be gathered together, and let the people be assembled: who among them can declare this, and shew us former things? let them bring forth their witnesses, that they may be justified: or let them hear, and say, It is truth.
10     Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me.
11     I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no saviour.
12     I have declared, and have saved, and I have shewed, when there was no strange god among you: therefore ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, that I am God.
13     Yea, before the day was I am he; and there is none that can deliver out of my hand: I will work, and who shall let it?
14     ¶ Thus saith the LORD, your redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; For your sake I have sent to Babylon, and have brought down all their nobles, and the Chaldeans, whose cry is in the ships.
15     I am the LORD, your Holy One, the creator of Israel, your King.
16     Thus saith the LORD, which maketh a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty waters;
17     Which bringeth forth the chariot and horse, the army and the power; they shall lie down together, they shall not rise: they are extinct, they are quenched as tow.
18     Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old.
19     Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.
20     The beast of the field shall honour me, the dragons and the owls: because I give waters in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people, my chosen.
21     This people have I formed for myself; they shall shew forth my praise.
22     ¶ But thou hast not called upon me, O Jacob; but thou hast been weary of me, O Israel.
23     Thou hast not brought me the small cattle of thy burnt offerings; neither hast thou honoured me with thy sacrifices. I have not caused thee to serve with an offering, nor wearied thee with incense.
24     Thou hast bought me no sweet cane with money, neither hast thou filled me with the fat of thy sacrifices: but thou hast made me to serve with thy sins, thou hast wearied me with thine iniquities.
25     I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins.
26     Put me in remembrance: let us plead together: declare thou, that thou mayest be justified.
27     Thy first father hath sinned, and thy teachers have transgressed against me.
28     Therefore I have profaned the princes of the sanctuary, and have given Jacob to the curse, and Israel to reproaches.

 Isaiah 45:

1     ¶ Thus saith the LORD to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have holden, to subdue nations before him; and I will loose the loins of kings, to open before him the two leaved gates; and the gates shall not be shut;
2     I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron:
3     And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I, the LORD, which call thee by thy name, am the God of Israel.
4     For Jacob my servant's sake, and Israel mine elect, I have even called thee by thy name: I have surnamed thee, though thou hast not known me.
5     ¶ I am the LORD, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me:
6     That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am the LORD, and there is none else.
7     I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.
8     Drop down, ye heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness: let the earth open, and let them bring forth salvation, and let righteousness spring up together; I the LORD have created it.
9     Woe unto him that striveth with his Maker! Let the potsherd strive with the potsherds of the earth. Shall the clay say to him that fashioneth it, What makest thou? or thy work, He hath no hands?
10     Woe unto him that saith unto his father, What begettest thou? or to the woman, What hast thou brought forth?
11     ¶ Thus saith the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker, Ask me of things to come concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands command ye me.
12     I have made the earth, and created man upon it: I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded.
13     I have raised him up in righteousness, and I will direct all his ways: he shall build my city, and he shall let go my captives, not for price nor reward, saith the LORD of hosts.
14     Thus saith the LORD, The labour of Egypt, and merchandise of Ethiopia and of the Sabeans, men of stature, shall come over unto thee, and they shall be thine: they shall come after thee; in chains they shall come over, and they shall fall down unto thee, they shall make supplication unto thee, saying, Surely God is in thee; and there is none else, there is no God.
15     Verily thou art a God that hidest thyself, O God of Israel, the Saviour.
16     They shall be ashamed, and also confounded, all of them: they shall go to confusion together that are makers of idols.
17     But Israel shall be saved in the LORD with an everlasting salvation: ye shall not be ashamed nor confounded world without end.
18     For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the LORD; and there is none else.
19     I have not spoken in secret, in a dark place of the earth: I said not unto the seed of Jacob, Seek ye me in vain: I the LORD speak righteousness, I declare things that are right.
20     ¶ Assemble yourselves and come; draw near together, ye that are escaped of the nations: they have no knowledge that set up the wood of their graven image, and pray unto a god that cannot save.
21     Tell ye, and bring them near; yea, let them take counsel together: who hath declared this from ancient time? who hath told it from that time? have not I the LORD? and there is no God else beside me; a just God and a Saviour; there is none beside me.
22     Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else.
23     I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, That unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear.
24     Surely, shall one say, in the LORD have I righteousness and strength: even to him shall men come; and all that are incensed against him shall be ashamed.
25     In the LORD shall all the seed of Israel be justified, and shall glory.

  Ephesians 2:  1     ¶ And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;
2     Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:
3     Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.
4     ¶ But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,
5     Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)
6     And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:
7     That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.
8     For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9     Not of works, lest any man should boast.
10     For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
11     ¶ Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands;
12     That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:
13     But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.
14     ¶ For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us;
15     Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace;
16     And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:
17     And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh.
18     For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.
19     Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God;
20     And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;
21     In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord:
22     In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.
