Where the connections lead

Follow this verse’s cross-references two steps out. Each card is a verse this one points to, and beneath it the verses that one points to in turn. Where several different paths arrive at the same place, that place is listed first: the text keeps returning to it. Every stop shows its own words, and every stop is a page.

Father!”2 Corinthians 5:5And God has prepared us for this very purpose and has given us the Spirit as a pledge of what is to come.Ephesians 1:13And in Him, having heard and believed the word of truth—the gospel of your salvation—you were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit,Romans 8:26In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness.
