- God said, “Let there be light!” And there was light.
- No one has ever seen God.
It is the only Son, God,
who is at the Father’s side,
who has made him known. - Our God is in heaven;
he does whatever he pleases. - I am the Lord, your God,
who brought you out of the land of Egypt.
You know no God but me,
nor any savior other than me. - Keep in mind, therefore, that the Lord, your God, is God. He is a faithful God who keeps his covenant of mercy to the thousandth generation toward those who love him and observe his commandments.
- While experiencing temptation, no one should say, “God is tempting me.” For God cannot be tempted by evil, and he himself tempts no one.
- Those who live according to the flesh can never be pleasing to God.
- Hence, be imitators of God, as beloved children.
- Surely God is my helper;
the Lord is the one who sustains me. - However, God has revealed these things to us through the Spirit. For the Spirit explores everything, even the depths of God.
- To our God and Father be glory forever and ever. Amen.
- In God alone is my soul at rest;
it is from him that my salvation comes. - Blessed are the peacemakers,
for they will be called children of God. - He replied, “What is impossible for men is possible for God.”
- To do your will, O God, is my delight;
your law is in my heart. - Why are you so disheartened, O my soul?
Why do you sigh within me?
Place your hope in God;
for I will once again praise him,
my Savior and my God. - Arise, O Lord! Lift up your hand, O God!
Do not forget the afflicted. - In God alone be at rest, O my soul;
it is from him that my hope comes. - Therefore, a Sabbath rest still remains for the people of God, since those who enter into God’s rest also cease from their own labors as God did from his.
- May God continue to bless us
and be revered to the ends of the earth. - Beloved,
since God loved us so much,
we should love one another. - God is our refuge and our strength,
a well-proved help in times of trouble. - As a deer longs for running streams,
so my soul longs for you, O God. - For you, O God, have put us to the test;
you have purified us as silver is refined. - O God, you are my God,
for whom I have been searching earnestly.
My soul yearns for you
and my body thirsts for you,
like the earth when it is parched,
arid and without water.
