"Not¹ for your sakes¹ doª° I¹ [this], saithª° the Lordª GOD,ª be it knownª° unto you: be ashamedª° and confoundedª° for your own ways,ª¹ O houseª of Israel.ª" {Ezk 36:32} + "The LORDª did not¹ set his loveª° upon you, nor chooseª° you, because ye were more² in number¹¹ than any¹¹ people;ª for¹ ye¹ [were] the fewestª of all¹¹ people:ª ... But¹ because the LORDª lovedª¹ you, and because he would keepª°¹¹ the oathª which¹ he had swornª° unto your fathers,ª hath the LORDª brought you outª°¹ with a mightyª hand,ª and redeemedª° you out of the houseª¹ of bondmen,ª from the handª¹ of Pharaohª kingª of Egypt.ª" {Deu 7:7-8} + "Not¹ for thy righteousness,ª or for the uprightnessª of thine heart,ª dost thou¹ goª° to possessª°¹ their land:ª but¹ for the wickednessª of these¹ nationsª the LORDª thy Godª doth drive them outª° from beforeª¹ thee, and that¹ he may performª°¹ the wordª which¹ the LORDª swareª° unto thy fathers,ª Abraham,ª Isaac,ª and Jacob.ª ... Remember,ª° [and] forgetª° not,¹¹ how¹ thou provokedst¹¹ the LORDª thy Godª to wrath²° in the wilderness:ª fromª the dayª that¹ thou didst depart¹ out²° of the landª¹ of Egypt,ª until¹ ye cameª° unto¹ this¹ place,ª ye have been¹ rebelliousª° againstª the LORD.ª" {Deu 9:5-7} + "Nevertheless he savedª° them for his name's² sake,¹¹ that he might make¹ his mighty powerª to be known.ª°" {Psa 106:8} + "Not¹ unto us, O LORD,ª not¹ unto us, but¹ unto thy nameª giveª° glory,ª for¹ thy mercy,ª [and] for¹ thy truth'sª sake. ...
