16 At that time those in fear of Jehovah+ spoke with one another, each one with his companion, and Jehovah kept paying attention and listening.+ And a book of remembrance* began to be written up before him+ for those in fear of Jehovah and for those thinking upon his name.+
20 Nevertheless, do not rejoice over this, that the spirits are made subject to YOU, but rejoice because YOUR names+ have been inscribed in the heavens.”
23 in general assembly,*+ and the congregation of the firstborn+ who have been enrolled*+ in the heavens, and God the Judge of all,+ and the spiritual lives*+ of righteous ones who have been made perfect,+
5 He that conquers+ will thus be arrayed in white outer garments;+ and I will by no means blot out his name from the book of life,+ but I will make acknowledgment of his name before my Father+ and before his angels.+
