Trust in God in Japanese Calligraphy — 9 Hand-Brushed Designs

神を信ぜよ (kami wo shinze yo)

The Japanese phrase "kami wo shinze yo" meaning "Trust in God, Believe in God" is composed of the words 神 (read kami) meaning "God" and 信ぜよ (read "shinze yo") a command form of the verb 信じる (read shinjiru) meaning "trust in, believe in". The changing of the verb ending from "shinjiru" to "shinze yo" changes the meaning from a passive "Trust in God" to the active "(We Should) Trust in God".
