Therefore loving people and glorifying God are one.

Then every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

• But we are pledged to set the world free. Our toil must be in silence, and our efforts all in secret.

For the good of mankind, and for the honor and glory of God.

It is in everybody.
