14Then went he downand dipped himself seven times in the Jordan,according to the saying of the man of God;and his flesh was restored like the flesh of a little child, and he was clean.15He returned to the man of God,he and all his company,and came, and stood before him;and he said, “See now,I know that there is no God in all the earth, but in Israel.Now therefore, please take a gift from your servant.”

16But he said, “As the Lord lives,before whom I stand,I will receive none.”

He urged him to take it;but he refused.17Naaman said, “If not,then, please let two mules’ load of earth be given to your servant;for your servant will from now on offer neither burnt offering nor sacrifice to other gods, but to the Lord.

1Sing to the Lord a new song,for he has done marvelous things!His right hand and his holy arm have worked salvation for him.

2The Lord has made known his salvation.He has openly shown his righteousness in the sight of the nations.3He has remembered his loving kindness and his faithfulness toward the house of Israel.

3All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.4Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth!Burst out and sing for joy, yes, sing praises!

8Remember Jesus Christ,risen from the dead,of the offspring of David,according to my Good News,9in which I suffer hardship to the point of chains as a criminal.But God’s word isn’t chained.10Therefore I endure all things for the chosen ones’ sake,that they also may obtain the salvationwhich is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.11This saying is trustworthy:

“For if we died with him,we will also live with him.12If we endure,we will also reign with him.If we deny him,he also will deny us.13If we are faithless,he remains faithful;for he can’t deny himself.”

11As he was on his way to Jerusalem,he was passing along the borders of Samaria and Galilee.12As he entered into a certain village,ten men who were lepers met him,who stood at a distance.13They lifted up their voices,saying, “Jesus, Master,have mercy on us!”

14When he saw them, he said to them,“Go and show yourselves to the priests.”As they went, they were cleansed.15One of them, when he saw that he was healed,turned back, glorifying God with a loud voice.16He fell on his face at Jesus’ feet, giving him thanks;and he was a Samaritan.

17Jesus answered, “Weren’t the ten cleansed?But where are the nine?18Were there none found who returned to give glory to God,except this foreigner?”19Then he said to him, “Get up, and go your way.Your faith has healed you.”
