2 Who kept faith with God who gave him his place, even as Moses did in all his house.
My servant Moses is not so; he is true to me in all my house:
I have been teaching you laws and decisions, as I was ordered to do by the Lord my God, so that you might keep them in the land to which you are going to take it for your heritage.
For I have come down from heaven, not to do my pleasure, but the pleasure of him who sent me. And this is the pleasure of him who sent me, that I am not to let out of my hands anything which he has given me, but I am to give it new life on the last day. This, I say, is my Father's pleasure, that everyone who sees the Son and has faith in him may have eternal life: and I will take him up on the last day.
The man whose words come from himself is looking for glory for himself, but he who is looking for the glory of him who sent him--that man is true and there is no evil in him.
If you keep my laws, you will be ever in my love, even as I have kept my Father's laws, and am ever in his love.
I have given you glory on the earth, having done all the work which you gave me to do.
I give praise to him who gave me power, Christ Jesus our Lord, because he took me to be true, making me his servant,
But if I am long in coming, this will make clear to you what behaviour is right for men in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and base of what is true.
