make your face shine on us,

He will make your righteous reward shine like the dawn,
your vindication like the noonday sun. - Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will perish by following their example of disobedience.
- Trust in the Lord with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways submit to him,
and he will make your paths straight. - Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.”

you are the ruler of all things.
In your hands are strength and power
to exalt and give strength to all. - Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.

with eternal pleasures at your right hand. - The Sovereign Lord is my strength;
he makes my feet like the feet of a deer,
he enables me to tread on the heights. - For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline.

and only later to consider one’s vows. - Make sure that nobody pays back wrong for wrong, but always strive to do what is good for each other and for everyone else.
- Make every effort to live in peace with everyone and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord.
- Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word.

- I will make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and will give them all these lands, and through your offspring all nations on earth will be blessed, because Abraham obeyed me and did everything I required of him, keeping my commands, my decrees and my instructions.
- “On the day when I act,” says the Lord Almighty, “they will be my treasured possession. I will spare them, just as a father has compassion and spares his son who serves him.”
- Therefore, my brothers and sisters, make every effort to confirm your calling and election. For if you do these things, you will never stumble, and you will receive a rich welcome into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
- For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, mutual affection; and to mutual affection, love.
- And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast.

will sacrifice to you.
What I have vowed I will make good.

and how good is a timely word! - But in your great mercy you did not put an end to them or abandon them, for you are a gracious and merciful God.
