Bible Questions Answered:

“What is the meaning of Jude 23?...”

Tom/ Toronto, Ontario Canada

Bible Answer:

Bible Texts:

Jude 1:23 KJV

And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.

Jude 1:23 NLT

Rescue others by snatching them from the flames of judgment. Show mercy to still others, but do so with great caution, hating the sins that contaminate their lives.

Jude 1:23 CEV

Rescue any who need to be saved, as you would rescue someone from a fire. Then with fear in your own hearts, have mercy on everyone who needs it. But hate even the clothes of those who have been made dirty by their filthy deeds.

Jude 1:23 ERV

Rescue those who are living in danger of hell’s fire. There are others you should treat with mercy, but be very careful that their filthy lives don’t rub off on you.

Evangelism, is for those who are prepared, both by study of The Word, and by prayer.

We are literally are pulling people out of the fires of hell, when we lead them to The Lord.

We must be spiritual over comers, living close to The Lord, or the sins of the ones we are trying to help, may reach out to us.

Jude shows us that the ways of evangelism are various and many, though the message, always the same and never changing.

Some, when extended the mercy of The Lord, gladly receive Him, others, must through the vary fear of God's wrath, be snatched as it were from the very gates of hell and judgment.

I Corinthians 9:22 KJV

To the weak became I as weak, that I might gain the weak: I am made all things to all men, that I might by all means save some.

Why should we evangelize?

We should because our Savior called us to:

Matthew 28:18-20 NKJV

18 And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.

19 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of The Father and of The Son and of The Holy Spirit,

20 teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.

And we should, because man was created to bring glory to God:

Romans 15:9 KJV

And that the Gentiles might glorify God for His mercy; as it is written, For this cause I will confess to thee among the Gentiles, and sing unto thy name.

18 When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand.

19 Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.

Malachi 1:11 KJV

7 Go and announce to them that the Kingdom of Heaven is near.

8 Heal the sick, raise the dead, cure those with leprosy, and cast out demons. Give as freely as you have received!

9 “Don’t take any money in your money belts—no gold, silver, or even copper coins.

10 Don’t carry a traveler’s bag with a change of clothes and sandals or even a walking stick. Don’t hesitate to accept hospitality, because those who work deserve to be fed.

11 “Whenever you enter a city or village, search for a worthy person and stay in his home until you leave town.

12 When you enter the home, give it your blessing.

13 If it turns out to be a worthy home, let your blessing stand; if it is not, take back the blessing.

14 If any household or town refuses to welcome you or listen to your message, shake its dust from your feet as you leave.

4 Jesus answered and said unto them, Go and shew John again those things which ye do hear and see:

5 The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have The Gospel preached to them.

6 And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in Me.

36 The harvesters are paid good wages, and the fruit they harvest is people brought to eternal Life. What joy awaits both the planter and the harvester alike!

37 You know the saying, ‘One plants and another harvests.’ And it’s true.

38 I sent you to harvest where you didn’t plant; others had already done the work, and now you will get to gather the harvest.”

For Christ didn’t send me to baptize, but to preach The Good News—and not with clever speech, for fear that the cross of Christ would lose its power.

I Corinthians 2:1-5 KJV

1 And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God.

2 For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and Him crucified.

3 And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling.

4 And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of The Spirit and of power:

5 That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.

I Corinthians 9:16 NLT

Yet preaching The Good News is not something I can boast about. I am compelled by God to do it. How terrible for me if I didn’t preach The Good News!

Bring Them In

Hark! ’tis The Shepherd’s voice I hear,

Out in the desert dark and drear,

Calling the sheep who’ve gone astray,

Far from The Shepherd’s fold away.

Chorus:

Bring them in, bring them in,

Bring them in from the fields of sin;

Bring them in, bring them in,

Bring the wand’ring ones to Jesus.

Who’ll go and help this Shepherd kind,

Help Him the wand’ring ones to find?

Who’ll bring the lost ones to the fold,

Where they’ll be sheltered from the cold?

Out in the desert hear their cry,

Out on the mountain, wild and high;

Hark! ’tis The Master, speaks to thee,

“Go, find My sheep where’er they be.”

Bible Lesson: Conversations With Jesus: Our Responsibility In Forgiving Others.

Bible Text:

Matthew 18:15-35 NLT

Bible Topic:

Matthew 18:15-35 NLT (Correcting Another Believer)

15 “If another believer sins against you, go privately and point out the offense. If the other person listens and confesses it, you have won that person back.

16 But if you are unsuccessful, take one or two others with you and go back again, so that everything you say may be confirmed by two or three witnesses.

17 If the person still refuses to listen, take your case to the church. Then if he or she won’t accept the church’s decision, treat that person as a pagan or a corrupt tax collector.

18 “I tell you The Truth, whatever you forbid on earth will be forbidden in heaven, and whatever you permit on earth will be permitted in heaven.

19 “I also tell you this: If two of you agree here on earth concerning anything you ask, My Father in heaven will do it for you.

20 For where two or three gather together as My followers, I am there among them.”

(Parable of the Unforgiving Debtor)

21 Then Peter came to Him and asked, “Lord, how often should I forgive someone who sins against me? Seven times?”

22 “No, not seven times,” Jesus replied, “but seventy times seven!

23 “Therefore, the Kingdom of Heaven can be compared to a king who decided to bring his accounts up to date with servants who had borrowed money from him.

24 In the process, one of his debtors was brought in who owed him millions of dollars.

25 He couldn’t pay, so his master ordered that he be sold—along with his wife, his children, and everything he owned—to pay the debt.

26 “But the man fell down before his master and begged him, ‘Please, be patient with me, and I will pay it all.’

27 Then his master was filled with pity for him, and he released him and forgave his debt.

28 “But when the man left the king, he went to a fellow servant who owed him a few thousand dollars. He grabbed him by the throat and demanded instant payment.

29 “His fellow servant fell down before him and begged for a little more time. ‘Be patient with me, and I will pay it,’ he pleaded.

30 But his creditor wouldn’t wait. He had the man arrested and put in prison until the debt could be paid in full.

31 “When some of the other servants saw this, they were very upset. They went to the king and told him everything that had happened.

32 Then the king called in the man he had forgiven and said, ‘You evil servant! I forgave you that tremendous debt because you pleaded with me.

33 Shouldn’t you have mercy on your fellow servant, just as I had mercy on you?’

34 Then the angry king sent the man to prison to be tortured until he had paid his entire debt.

35 “That’s what My Heavenly Father will do to you if you refuse to forgive your brothers and sisters from your heart.”

Just how important is this forgiving business?

All one has to do is to read verse 35 again!

34 Then the angry king sent the man to prison to be tortured until he had paid his entire debt.

35 “That’s what My Heavenly Father will do to you if you refuse to forgive your brothers and sisters from your heart.”

Matthew 6:14,15 KJV  

14 For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your Heavenly Father will also forgive you:

15 But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

Who said this? Jesus told us this!

God's Forgiveness:

Psalm 86:4,5 NLT

4 Give me happiness, O Lord, for I give myself to you.

5 O Lord, you are so good, so ready to forgive, so full of unfailing love for all who ask for your help.

Daniel 9:9 NKJV

To The Lord our God belong mercy and forgiveness, though we have rebelled against Him.

Micah 7:18,19 KJV

18 Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of His heritage? He retaineth not His anger for ever, because He delighteth in mercy.

19 He will turn again, He will have compassion upon us; He will subdue our iniquities; and thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea.

Matthew 26:28 NLT

for this is My Blood, which confirms the covenant between God and His people. It is poured out as a sacrifice to forgive the sins of many.

Ephesians 1:7-10 KJV

7 In whom we have redemption through His Blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace;

8 Wherein He hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence;

9 Having made known unto us the mystery of His will, according to His good pleasure which He hath purposed in Himself:

10 That in the dispensation of the fullness of times He might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in Him:

Colossians 1:12-14 KJV

12 Giving thanks unto The Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in Light:

13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of His dear Son:

14 In whom we have redemption through His Blood, even the forgiveness of sins:

I John 1:9 KJV

If we confess our sins, He is Faithful and Just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Christians Forgiveness:

Matthew 5:23-26 KJV

23 Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee;

24 Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.

25 Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison.

26 Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing.

Matthew 6:9-13 KJV

9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

10 Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

11 Give us this day our daily bread.

12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.

13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

Mark 11:25 KJV

And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.

Luke 17:3,4 KJV

3 Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him.

4 And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him.

Luke 23:33,34 KJV

33 And when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified Him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left.

34 Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted His raiment, and cast lots.

Acts 7:59,60 KJV

59 And they stoned Stephen, calling upon God, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.

60 And he knelled down, and cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this, he fell asleep.

Ephesians 4:31,32 KJV

31 Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamor, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:

32 And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.

Colossians 3:13 NLT

Make allowance for each other’s faults, and forgive anyone who offends you. Remember, The Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others.

More Like The Master

More like The Master I would ever be,

More of His meekness, more humility;

More zeal to labor, more courage to be true,

More consecration for work He bids me do.

Chorus:

Take Thou my heart, I would be Thine alone;

Take Thou my heart, and make it all Thine own;

Purge me from sin, O Lord, I now implore,

Wash me and keep me Thine forevermore.

More like The Master is my daily prayer;

More strength to carry crosses I must bear;

More earnest effort to bring His kingdom in;

More of His Spirit, the wanderer to win.

More like the Master I would live and grow;

More of His love to others I would show;

More self-denial, like His in Galilee,

More like The Master I long to ever be.

II Peter 3:9 KJV

The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some men count slackness; but is long suffering to

us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

I John 1:8-10 KJV

8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and The Truth is not in us.

9 If we confess our sins, He is Faithful and Just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His Word is not in us.

Bible Questions Answered:

“Pastor, will we really know our loved ones, who are now in heaven, when we get there?...”

Yanet/ Jacksonville, Florida U.S.A.

Bible Answer:

Bible Texts:

The Word Of God, tells us yes!

King David said that one day he would be reunited with his dead son.

II Samuel 12:22,23 NLT

22 David replied, “I fasted and wept while the child was alive, for I said, ‘Perhaps The Lord will be gracious to me and let the child live.’

23 But why should I fast when he is dead? Can I bring him back again? I will go to him one day, but he cannot return to me.”

Matthew 8:11 NLT (Jesus)

And I tell you this, that many Gentiles will come from all over the world—from east and west—and sit down with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob at the feast in the Kingdom of Heaven.

The disciples, recognized Moses and Elijah, on the mount of transfiguration.

Matthew 17:1-8 KJV (The Transfiguration)

1 And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John His brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart,

2 And was transfigured before them: and His face did shine as the sun, and His raiment was white as the light.

3 And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with him.

4 Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.

5 While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold A Voice out of the cloud, which said, This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye Him.

6 And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and were sore afraid.

7 And Jesus came and touched them, and said, Arise, and be not afraid.

8 And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man, save Jesus only.

Followers of Jesus, knew Him as the resurrected Messiah.

Matthew 28:8-10 KJV

8 And they departed quickly from the sepulcher with fear and great joy; and did run to bring His disciples word.

9 And as they went to tell His disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, All hail. And they came and held Him by the feet, and worshiped Him.

10 Then said Jesus unto them, Be not afraid: go tell My brethren that they go into Galilee, and there shall they see Me.

The real story, Jesus told of the rich man, Lazarus and Abraham, all recognized each other.

Luke 16:19-31 KJV

19 There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:

20 And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores,

21 And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.

22 And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;

23 And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.

24 And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.

25 But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.

26 And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.

27 Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house:

28 For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.

29 Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.

30 And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent.

31 And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded,

though one rose from the dead.

Knowing that we will know all our loved ones, now in heaven, the Apostle Paul told the Thessalonian believers....

I Thessalonians 4:13-18 NLT (The Hope of the Resurrection)

13 And now, dear brothers and sisters, we want you to know what will happen to the believers who have died so you will not grieve like people who have no hope.

14 For since we believe that Jesus died and was raised to Life again, we also believe that when Jesus returns, God will bring back with Him the believers who have died.

15 We tell you this directly from The Lord: We who are still living when The Lord returns will not meet Him ahead of those who have died.

16 For The Lord Himself will come down from heaven with a commanding shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet call of God. First, the believers who have died will rise from their graves.

17 Then, together with them, we who are still alive and remain on the earth will be caught up in the clouds to meet The Lord in the air. Then we will be with The Lord forever.

18 So encourage each other with these words.

I Corinthians 15:51-58 KJV

51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,

52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.

54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.

55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?

56 The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.

57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of The Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labor is not in vain in The Lord.

When The Roll Is Called Up Yonder

When the trumpet of the Lord shall sound, and time shall be no more,

And the morning breaks, eternal, bright and fair;

When the saved of earth shall gather over on the other shore,

And the roll is called up yonder, I’ll be there.

Chorus:

When the roll is called up yonder,

When the roll is called up yonder,

When the roll is called up yonder,

When the roll is called up yonder, I’ll be there.

On that bright and cloudless morning when the dead in Christ shall rise,

And the glory of His resurrection share;

When His chosen ones shall gather to their home beyond the skies,

And the roll is called up yonder, I’ll be there.

Let us labor for the Master from the dawn till setting sun,

Let us talk of all His wondrous love and care;

Then when all of life is over, and our work on earth is done,

And the roll is called up yonder, I’ll be there.

Prayer:

John 3:3,16,17,36 KJV

3 Jesus answered and said unto him (Nicodemus), Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

16 For God so loved the world, that He gave His Only Begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting Life.
17 For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be saved.

36 He that believeth on The Son hath everlasting Life: and he that believeth not The Son shall not see Life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.

Bible Questions Answered:

“...no one had any answers and the leader seemed also to the point of dispair...”

Karen/ Howell, New Jersey U.S.A.

Bible Answer:

The one without any answers, or hope, is the sinner, they have, no future hope.

Bible Texts:

Hopelessness:

Job 11:20 NLT

But the wicked will be blinded. They will have no escape. Their only hope is death.”

Job 15:23 NLT

They wander around, saying, ‘Where can I find bread?’ They know their day of destruction is near.

Job 17:15 KJV

And where is now my hope? as for my hope, who shall see it?

Job 27:7-23 NLT

7 “May my enemy be punished like the wicked, my adversary like those who do evil.

8 For what hope do the godless have when God cuts them off and takes away their life?

9 Will God listen to their cry when trouble comes upon them?

10 Can they take delight in The Almighty? Can they call to God at any time?

11 I will teach you about God’s power. I will not conceal anything concerning The Almighty.

12 But you have seen all this, yet you say all these useless things to me.

13 “This is what the wicked will receive from God; this is their inheritance from The Almighty.

14 They may have many children, but the children will die in war or starve to death.

15 Those who survive will die of a plague, and not even their widows will mourn them.

16 “Evil people may have piles of money and may store away mounds of clothing.

17 But the righteous will wear that clothing, and the innocent will divide that money.

18 The wicked build houses as fragile as a spider’s web, as flimsy as a shelter made of branches.

19 The wicked go to bed rich but wake to find that all their wealth is gone.

20 Terror overwhelms them like a flood, and they are blown away in the storms of the night.

21 The east wind carries them away, and they are gone. It sweeps them away.

22 It whirls down on them without mercy. They struggle to flee from its power.

23 But everyone jeers at them and mocks them.

Proverbs 10:28 KJV

The hope of the righteous shall be gladness: but the expectation of the wicked shall perish.

Proverbs 24:20 NLT

For evil people have no future; the light of the wicked will be snuffed out.

Jeremiah 2:25 KJV

Withhold thy foot from being unshod, and thy throat from thirst: but thou saidst, There is no hope: no; for I have loved strangers, and after them will I go.

Ephesians 2:12 KJV

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:

I Thessalonians 4:13 KJV

But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.

Jude 1:1-19 KJV

1 Jude, the servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to them that are sanctified by God The Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ, and called:

2 Mercy unto you, and peace, and love, be multiplied.

3 Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.

4 For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.

5 I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how that The Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not.

6 And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, He hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.

7 Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.

8 Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities.

9 Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.

10 But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves.

11 Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core.

12 These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;

13 Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever.

14 And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, The Lord cometh with ten thousands of His saints,

15 To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him.

16 These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, having men's persons in admiration because of advantage.

17 But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ;

18 How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts.

19 These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not The Spirit.

The Solid Rock

My hope is built on nothing less

Than Jesus’ blood and righteousness;

I dare not trust the sweetest frame,

But wholly lean on Jesus’ name.

Chorus:

On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;

All other ground is sinking sand,

All other ground is sinking sand.

When darkness veils His lovely face,

I rest on His unchanging grace;

In every high and stormy gale,

My anchor holds within the veil.

His oath, His covenant, His blood

Support me in the whelming flood;

When all around my soul gives way,

He then is all my hope and stay.

When He shall come with trumpet sound,

Oh, may I then in Him be found;

Dressed in His righteousness alone,

Faultless to stand before the throne.
