²⁹ Then he said to Gehazi, “^(A)Gird up your loins and ^(B)take my staff in your hand, and go your way; if you meet any man, do not ^(C)salute him, and if anyone salutes you, do not answer him; and ^(D)lay my staff on the lad’s face.”

¹⁷ Now, ^(A)gird up your loins and arise, and speak to them all which I command you. ^(B)Do not be dismayed before them, or I will dismay you before them.

¹³ Therefore, ^[a](A)prepare your minds for action, ^[b](B)keep sober in spirit, fix your ^(C)hope completely on the ^(D)grace ^[c]to be brought to you at ^(E)the revelation of Jesus Christ.
