… the nations…
who will give an account
to him who is ready
to judge
the living and the dead
for this is why the good news was preached
to people who are (now) dead
that although they might have been condemned
according to human standards
now they might live
according to God’ standards
in the Spirit.
God be in head and in my understanding;
God be in my eyes and in my looking;
God be in my mouth and in my speaking;
God be in my heart and in my thinking;
God be at my end and at my departing.
