Ephesians 4:6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. The sun does not shine for a few trees and flowers, but for the wide world's joy. The lowly pine on the mountain top waves its sombre boughs, and cries, "Thou art my sun." And the little meadow violet lifts its cup of blue, and whispers with its perfumed breath, "Thou art my sun." And the grain in a thousand fields rustles in the wind, and makes answer, "Thou art my sun." So God sits effulgent in heaven, not for a favoured few, but for the universe of life; and there is no creature so poor or so low that he may not look up with childlike confidence and say, "My Father, Thou art mine." (H. W. Beecher.) Parallel Verses KJV: One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.WEB: one God and Father of all, who is over all, and through all, and in us all. |
