7 Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear his voice,
7 Wherefore G1352 (as G2531 the Holy G40 Ghost G4151 saith, G3004 To day G4594 if G1437 ye will hear G191 his G846 voice, G5456
7 Wherefore, even as the Holy Spirit saith, To-day if ye shall hear his voice,
7 Wherefore, (as the Holy Spirit saith, `To-day, if His voice ye may hear --
7 Wherefore, even as says the Holy Spirit, To-day if ye will hear his voice,
7 Therefore, even as the Holy Spirit says, "Today if you will hear his voice,
7 And so, as the Holy Spirit says, Today if you let his voice come to your ears,
For he is our God; and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. To day if ye will hear his voice, Harden not your heart, as in the provocation, and as in the day of temptation in the wilderness: When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my work. Forty years long was I grieved with this generation, and said, It is a people that do err in their heart, and they have not known my ways: Unto whom I sware in my wrath that they should not enter into my rest.
While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.
Oh that my people had hearkened unto me, and Israel had walked in my ways!
Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts.
My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
But my people would not hearken to my voice; and Israel would none of me.
To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.
We then, as workers together with him, beseech you also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain. (For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)
While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.
And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.
For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:
Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.
And when they agreed not among themselves, they departed, after that Paul had spoken one word, Well spake the Holy Ghost by Esaias the prophet unto our fathers,
Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.
Go to now, ye that say, To day or to morrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain: Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that.
