At that time, there will be a road there. This highway will be called “The Holy Road.” Evil people will not be allowed to walk on that road. No fools {\cf2\super [332]} will go to that road. Only good people will walk on that road.
\{You are like all other people\}—you are evil. But you know how to give good things to your children. So surely your heavenly Father knows how to give the Holy Spirit {\cf2\super [200]} to those people that ask him.”
It is written in the prophets {\cf2\super [91]} : ‘God will teach all the people.’ {\cf2\super [92]} People listen to the Father and learn from him. Those people come to me.

I always pray to the God of our Lord Jesus Christ—to the glorious Father. I pray that he will give you the Spirit that will show you things about God and help you understand them. Then you will really know God.
Epaphras also says hello. He is a servant of Jesus Christ. And he is from your group. He always prays for you. He prays that you will grow to be spiritually mature (perfect) and have everything that God wants for you.
We have a great high priest {\cf2\super [35]} who has gone to live with God in heaven. He is Jesus the Son of God. So let us continue strongly in the faith we have.
