19 E temos a muito confiável palavra dos profetas; a qual vós fazeis bem ao prestardes atenção, como a uma luz que ilumina em lugar escuro, até que o dia clareie e a estrela da manhã se levante em vossos corações.

21 Porque a profecia jamais foi produzida pela vontade humana, mas os santos homens de Deus falaram conduzidos pelo Espírito Santo.
