For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Romans 6:23
Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ,
To the elect who are exiles of the Dispersion throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, chosen according to the foreknowledge of God the Father and sanctified by the Spirit for obedience to Jesus Christ and sprinkling by His blood:
Grace and peace be yours in abundance.
When the king of Egypt was told that the people had fled, Pharaoh and his officials changed their minds about them and said, “What have we done? We have released Israel from serving us.”
Does not wisdom call out,
and understanding raise her voice?
On the heights overlooking the road,
at the crossroads she takes her stand.
Beside the gates to the city,
at the entrances she cries out:
“To you, O men, I call out,
and my cry is to the sons of men.
