| To this day I have had help from God, and so I stand here, testifying to both small and great, saying nothing but what the prophets and Moses said would take place: that the Messiah must suffer, and that, by being the first to rise from the dead, he would proclaim light both to our people and to the Gentiles. | But God has protected me right up to this present time so I can testify to everyone, from the least to the greatest. I teach nothing except what the prophets and Moses said would happen— that the Messiah would suffer and be the first to rise from the dead, and in this way announce God’s light to Jews and Gentiles alike. |

| For the fruit of the light is found in all that is good and right and true. | For this light within you produces only what is good and right and true. |
| It is you who light my lamp; the Lord, my God, lights up my darkness. | You light a lamp for me. The Lord, my God, lights up my darkness. |
