To proclaim the acceptable year of The Lord, and the day of vengeance
of our God; to comfort all that mourn;

are, yet without sin.

Let us therefore come boldly unto The Throne Of Grace, that we may
obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at
home in the body, we are absent from The Lord:

body, and to be present with The Lord.

accepted of Him.

one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he
hath done, whether it be good or bad.
