Then those who feared theLordspoke with one another. TheLordpaid attention and heard them, and a book of remembrance was written before him of those who feared theLordand esteemed his name.

While they were talking and discussing together, Jesus himself drew near and went with them.—“For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I among them.”—My fellow workers, whose names are in the book of life.

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God.—But exhort one another every day, as long as it is called “today,” that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.

“I tell you, on the day of judgment people will give account for every careless word they speak, for by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.”—Behold, it is written before me.
