HE IS THE ONLY GOD,

Compared with other beings.

s) God is one; the Lord is the true God, he is God alone. The Lord our God is one Lord. (t) The Lord he is God, in heaven above and upon the earth beneath; there is none else.

(u) The Lord he is God; there is none else besides him: Before him there was no God formed, neither shall there be after him.

(w) Though there be that are called Gods, whether in heaven or in earth; yet to us there is but one God the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him.

For we

(*) All the gods of the people are idols, which by nature are no gods. They cannot do evil, neither also is it in them to do good. know that an idol is nothing in the world; and that a graven image is profitable for nothing; and that there is none other God but one.

THERE IS NONE LIKE HIM.

(y) Who is like unto thee, O Lord? Who is like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?

(x) To whom shall we liken God? Or what likeness shall we compare unto him? Or to whom shall he be equal?

(a) Who in the heavens can be compared unte the Lord? who among the sons of the mighty can be likened unto him?

(b) Thou art great, O Lord God, there is none like thee; neither are there any works like unto thy works.

(c) Among the gods, there is none like unto thee, O Lord; there is no God like thee in heaven above, or on earth beneath.

(d) There is none like thee in all the earth: among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their kingdoms, there is none like unto thee, O King of nations.

́(e) God is not (as the wicked think) altogether such an one as ourselves; for his ways are not our ways, nor his thoughts our thoughts: But as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are his ways higher than our ways, and his thoughts than our thoughts.

(f) Forafmuch as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone graven by art of man's device.

HE IS GREATER THAN ALL THINGS.

(g) Who is so great a God as our God? (b) Thou, whose name alone is Jehovah, art the most high over all the earth.

(2) The Lord our God is God of gods, and Lords of lords.

(k) He is far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come.

(2) The Lord is greater than all gods, and he is to be feared above all gods: For all the gods of the nations are idols; but the Lord made the heavens.

(m) God is greater than man. It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers.

(n) Behold, the nations are as a drop of a bucket, and are counted as the small dust of the balance: All the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing before him; and they are counted to him less than nothing, and vanity.

(0) Who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed to him again?

GOD IS A SPIRIT.

(p) God is a Spirit.

(2) He is invisible; whom no man hath seen, nor can see at any time; neither hath any man heard his voice at any time, or seen his shape.

ETERNAL.

(r) The Lord he is the Eternal God, who liveth for ever and ever.

Before the day was, before the mountains. were brought forth, or ever he had formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, he is God.

(t) He is the First and the Last: He is Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending; which is, and which was, and which is to come.

(z) His goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting; and his years are throughout all generations.

(w) He is the living God, and stedfast for ever.

(x) He is the immortal and everlasting King; and his throne remaineth from generation to ge

neration.

(y) He only hath immortality.

(x) The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth, even they shall perish from the earth, and from under the heavens; but the Lord shall endure for ever.

(a) His days are not as the days of man; nei- · ther can the number of his years be searched out. (b) One day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

UNCHANGEABLE.

(c) God is the same yesterday, to-day, and for

ever.

(e) Thus saith the Lord of hosts, I am the Lord, I change not; I Am that I Am; this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations.

There are indeed diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all; whose counsel standeth for ever, and the thoughts of his heart to all generations.

(g) Whatsoever God doth, it shall be for ever; nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it; and God doth it that men should fear before him.

(b) The earth and the heavens shall perish; but thou, O Lord, remainest. They all shall wax old, as doth a garment, and as a vesture shalt thou fold them up, and they shall be changed; but thou art the same, and thy years shall have no end.

PRESENT EVERY WHERE.

(i) He filleth all in all.

(k) The heaven, and heaven of heavens cannot contain thee, O God.

(7) Whither shall I go from thy Spirit, O Lord? Or whether shall I flee from thy presence? If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: If I make my bed in hell, behold thou art there: If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the utter
