²The sons of Japheth were Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras. ³And then the sons of Gomer were Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah.

⁵“Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you. And before you went forth from the womb, I sanctified you. And I made you a prophet to the nations.”

¹Then the Lord said to Abram: “Depart from your land, and from your kindred, and from your father’s house, and come into the land that I will show you. ²And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you and magnify your name, and you will be blessed. ³I will bless those who bless you, and curse those who curse you, and in you all the families of the earth will be blessed.”

⁹Parthians and Medes and Elamites, and those who inhabit Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia,

⁹Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.

⁹After these things, I saw a great crowd, which no one could number, from all the nations and tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and in sight of the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands.

¹⁴and if my people, over whom my name has been invoked, being converted, will have petitioned me and sought my face, and will have done penance for their wicked ways, then I will heed them from heaven, and I will forgive their sins, and I will heal their land.

¹⁸If it is possible, in so far as you are able, be at peace with all men.

²⁶And he has made, out of one, every family of man: to live upon the face of the entire earth, determining the appointed seasons and the limits of their habitation, ²⁷so as to seek God, if perhaps they may consider him or find him, though he is not far from each one of us.

¹And the word of the Lord came to me, saying: ²“Son of man, set your face against Gog, the land of Magog, the prince of the head of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy about him. ³And you shall say to him: Thus says the Lord God: Behold, I am against you, O Gog, prince of the head of Meshech and Tubal. ⁴And I will turn you around, and I will place a bit in your jaws. And I will lead you away, with all your army, the horses and the horsemen all clothed in armor, a great multitude, equipped with spears and light shields and swords, ⁵the Persians, the Ethiopians, and the Libyans with them, all with heavy shields and helmets, ⁶Gomer, and all his companies, the house of Togarmah, the northern parts, and all his strength, and the many peoples with you.

²⁵But since we hope for what we do not see, we wait with patience. ²⁶And similarly, the Spirit also helps our weakness. For we do not know how to pray as we ought, but the Spirit himself asks on our behalf with ineffable sighing. ²⁷And he who examines hearts knows what the Spirit seeks, because he asks on behalf of the saints in accordance with God. ²⁸And we know that, for those who love God, all things work together unto good, for those who, in accordance with his purpose, are called to be saints. ²⁹For those whom he foreknew, he also predestined, in conformity with the image of his Son, so that he might be the Firstborn among many brothers. ³⁰And those whom he predestined, he also called. And those whom he called, he also justified. And those whom he justified, he also glorified.

¹⁹And I will set a sign among them. And I will send some of those who will have been saved to the Gentiles in the sea, to Africa, and to those who draw the bow in Lydia, to Italy and Greece, to islands far away, to those who have not heard of me, and to those who have not seen my glory. And they will announce my glory to the Gentiles.
