7 If you remain in me, and my words remain in you, you will ask whatever you desire, and it will be done for you.
Whatever you will ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
Also delight yourself in Yahweh, And he will give you the desires of your heart.
and whatever we ask, we receive from him, because we keep his commandments and do the things that are pleasing in his sight.
You didn't choose me, but I chose you, and appointed you, that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain; that whatever you will ask of the Father in my name, he may give it to you.
"Ask, and it will be given you. Seek, and you will find. Knock, and it will be opened for you.
But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you won't fulfill the lust of the flesh.
What the wicked fear, will overtake them, But the desire of the righteous will be granted.
Your words were found, and I ate them; and your words were to me a joy and the rejoicing of my heart: for I am called by your name, Yahweh, God of hosts.
For then shall you delight yourself in the Almighty, And shall lift up your face to God.
I have written to you, fathers, because you know him who is from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God remains in you, and you have overcome the evil one.
I know that you are Abraham's seed, yet you seek to kill me, because my word finds no place in you.
These words, which I command you this day, shall be on your heart;
Then shall your light break forth as the morning, and your healing shall spring forth speedily; and your righteousness shall go before you; the glory of Yahweh shall by your rearward.
He taught me, and said to me: "Let your heart retain my words. Keep my commandments, and live.
