Exodus 34:5-6
5 Then Adonai descended in the cloud, stood with him there, as he called on the Name of Adonai. 6 Then Adonai passed before him, and proclaimed, “Adonai, Adonai, the compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, and abundant in lovingkindness and truth, 7 showing mercy to a thousand generations, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, yet by no means leaving the guilty unpunished, but bringing the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children’s children, to the third and fourth generation.” 8 Then Moses quickly bowed his head down to the earth and worshipped. 9 He said, “If now I have found grace in Your eyes, my Lord, let my Lord please go within our midst, even though this is a stiff-necked people. Pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us for Your own inheritance.” 10 Then He said, “I am cutting a covenant. Before all your people I will do wonders, such as have not been done in all the earth, or in any nation. All the people you are among will see the work of Adonai—for what I am going to do with you will be awesome!
Isaiah 41:4
4 Who has performed and done it? Calling forth the generations from the beginning, I, Adonai, am the first and the last, I am He!”
John 3:16-17
16 “For YAHWEH so loved the world that HE gave HIS ONE and only SON, That whoever believes in HIM shall not perish but have eternal life. 17 YAHWEH did not send the SON into the world to condemn the world but in order that the world might be saved through HIM.
John 17:6
6 “I have made YOUR NAME known to the men of this world that YOU gave ME.
Colossians 1:15-17
15 HE is the image of the invisible YAHWEH, the firstborn of all creation. 16 For by HIM all things were created in heaven and on earth, the seen and the unseen, whether thrones or angelic powers or rulers or authorities. All was created through HIM and for HIM. 17 HE exists before everything, and in HIM all holds together.
Hebrews 1:3
3 This Son is the radiance of HIS glory and the imprint of HIS being, upholding all things by HIS powerful Word. When HE had made purification for our sins, HE sat down at the right-hand of the Majesty on high.
1 John 4:8
8 The one who does not LOVE does not know YAHWEH, for YAHWEH is LOVE.
1 John 4:16
16 So we have come to know and trust in the LOVE that YAHWEH has for us. YAHWEH is LOVE. Now whoever abides in LOVE abides in YAHWEH, and YAHWEH abides in him.
