Hosea 11:4 NWT 4 With the ropes of earthling man I kept drawing them, with the cords of love, so that I became to them as those lifting off a yoke on their jaws, and gently I brought food to [each] one.
John 3:16 GNB For God loved the world so much that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not die but have eternal life. (17) For God did not send his Son into the world to be its judge, but to be its savior. (18) Those who believe in the Son are not judged; but those who do not believe have already been judged, because they have not believed in God's only Son. (19) This is how the judgment works: the light has come into the world, but people love the darkness rather than the light, because their deeds are evil. (20) Those who do evil things hate the light and will not come to the light, because they do not want their evil deeds to be shown up. (21) But those who do what is true come to the light in order that the light may show that what they did was in obedience to God.
John 16:23 CEV When that time comes, you won't have to ask me about anything. I tell you for certain that the Father will give you whatever you ask for in my name.
Revelation 4:2-11 & 5:1-14 CEV Right then the Spirit took control of me, and there in heaven I saw a throne and someone sitting on it. (3) The one who was sitting there sparkled like precious stones of jasper and carnelian. A rainbow that looked like an emerald surrounded the throne. (4) Twenty-four other thrones were in a circle around that throne. And on each of these thrones there was an elder dressed in white clothes and wearing a gold crown. (5) Flashes of lightning and roars of thunder came out from the throne in the center of the circle. Seven torches, which are the seven spirits of God, were burning in front of the throne. (6) Also in front of the throne was something that looked like a glass sea, clear as crystal. Around the throne in the center were four living creatures covered front and back with eyes. (7) The first creature was like a lion, the second one was like a bull, the third one had the face of a human, and the fourth was like a flying eagle. (8) Each of the four living creatures had six wings, and their bodies were covered with eyes. Day and night they never stopped singing, "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord, the all-powerful God, who was and is and is coming!" (9) The living creatures kept praising, honoring, and thanking the one who sits on the throne and who lives forever and ever. (10) At the same time the twenty-four elders knelt down before the one sitting on the throne. And as they worshiped the one who lives forever, they placed their crowns in front of the throne and said, (11) "Our Lord and God, you are worthy to receive glory, honor, and power. You created all things, and by your decision they are and were created."
Revelation 5:1-14 CEV In the right hand of the one sitting on the throne I saw a scroll that had writing on the inside and on the outside. And it was sealed in seven places. (2) I saw a mighty angel ask with a loud voice, "Who is worthy to open the scroll and break its seals?" (3) No one in heaven or on earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll or see inside it. (4) I cried hard because no one was found worthy to open the scroll or see inside it. (5) Then one of the elders said to me, "Stop crying and look! The one who is called both the 'Lion from the Tribe of Judah' and 'King David's Great Descendant' has won the victory. He will open the book and its seven seals." (6) Then I looked and saw a Lamb standing in the center of the throne that was surrounded by the four living creatures and the elders. The Lamb looked as if it had once been killed. It had seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God, sent out to all the earth. (7) The Lamb went over and took the scroll from the right hand of the one who sat on the throne. (8) After he had taken it, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders knelt down before him. Each of them had a harp and a gold bowl full of incense, which are the prayers of God's people. (9) Then they sang a new song, "You are worthy to receive the scroll and open its seals, because you were killed. And with your own blood you bought for God people from every tribe, language, nation, and race. (10) You let them become kings and serve God as priests, and they will rule on earth." (11) As I looked, I heard the voices of a lot of angels around the throne and the voices of the living creatures and of the elders. There were millions and millions of them, (12) and they were saying in a loud voice, "The Lamb who was killed is worthy to receive power, riches, wisdom, strength, honor, glory, and praise." (13) Then I heard all beings in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and in the sea offer praise. Together, all of them were saying, "Praise, honor, glory, and strength forever and ever to the one who sits on the throne and to the Lamb!" (14) The four living creatures said "Amen," while the elders knelt down and worshiped.
