Now as a recompense for this, (I speak as to my children,) be ye also enlarged.
I will run the way of your commandments, when you shall enlarge my heart.
I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt: open your mouth wide, and I will fill it.
Therefore I say to you, Whatever things you desire, when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you shall have them.
Brethren, I plead with you, be as I am; for I am as you are: you have not injured me at all.
My little children, for whom I labor painfully in birth again until Christ is formed in you,
As you know how we exhorted and comforted and instructed every one of you, as a father does his children,
My little children, these things I write to you so that you do not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:
My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.
Little children, let no one deceive you: he who does righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.
I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.
