¹⁶ And by what, now, will it be known that I have found favor in your eyes, I and your people? Is it not by your going along with us,+ in that I and your people have been made distinct from all the other people who are upon the surface of the ground?”+

⁷ None of us, in fact, lives with regard to himself only,+ and no one dies with regard to himself only;

²⁵ not forsaking the gathering of ourselves together,+ as some have the custom, but encouraging+ one another, and all the more so as YOU behold the day drawing near.+
