John 4:23-24 But the hour comes, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth… He that shall serve God, as a Spirit, in spirit and in truth; he that shall serve God, as Holy, with probity of manners; as Omniscient, with reverence of thought; as everywhere present, with composure of actions; as bountiful, with willingness of heart; as merciful, with imitating that mercy we hope for — such a one shows what Christianity is, and that it is the only standard of a "reasonable service" (Micah 6:6-8; Ephesians 5:1, 2). (Dean Young.) Parallel Verses KJV: But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. |
