2 Corinthians 6:13

¹⁸My little children, let’s not love in word only, or with the tongue only, but in deed and truth.

²⁸When he had come into the house, the blind men came to him. Jesus said to them, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” They told him, “Yes, Lord.”

²⁹Then he touched their eyes, saying, “According to your faith be it done to you.”
