- You will show me the way of life,
granting me the joy of your presence
and the pleasures of living with you forever. - And may the Lord our God show us his approval
and make our efforts successful.
Yes, make our efforts successful! - For the world offers only a craving for physical pleasure, a craving for everything we see, and pride in our achievements and possessions. These are not from the Father, but are from this world.
- And those who are peacemakers will plant seeds of peace and reap a harvest of righteousness.
- He loves whatever is just and good;
the unfailing love of the Lord fills the earth. - For wives, this means submit to your husbands as to the Lord. For a husband is the head of his wife as Christ is the head of the church. He is the Savior of his body, the church.

- And that water is a picture of baptism, which now saves you, not by removing dirt from your body, but as a response to God from a clean conscience. It is effective because of the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
- He saved us, not because of the righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He washed away our sins, giving us a new birth and new life through the Holy Spirit.
- The instructions of the Lord are perfect,
reviving the soul.
The decrees of the Lord are trustworthy,
making wise the simple. - True humility and fear of the Lord
lead to riches, honor, and long life. - And do not bring sorrow to God’s Holy Spirit by the way you live. Remember, he has identified you as his own, guaranteeing that you will be saved on the day of redemption.
- I live because of the living Father who sent me; in the same way, anyone who feeds on me will live because of me.
- And he took a cup of wine and gave thanks to God for it. He gave it to them and said, “Each of you drink from it, for this is my blood, which confirms the covenant between God and his people. It is poured out as a sacrifice to forgive the sins of many.”
- So the Word became human and made his home among us. He was full of unfailing love and faithfulness. And we have seen his glory, the glory of the Father’s one and only Son.
- For God wanted them to know that the riches and glory of Christ are for you Gentiles, too. And this is the secret: Christ lives in you. This gives you assurance of sharing his glory.
- But when people keep on sinning, it shows that they belong to the devil, who has been sinning since the beginning. But the Son of God came to destroy the works of the devil.
- But as for me, I will sing about your power.
Each morning I will sing with joy about your unfailing love.
For you have been my refuge,
a place of safety when I am in distress. - The Lord merely spoke,
and the heavens were created.
He breathed the word,
and all the stars were born. - For all creation is waiting eagerly for that future day when God will reveal who his children really are.
- Joyful are people of integrity,
who follow the instructions of the Lord. - The end of the world is coming soon. Therefore, be earnest and disciplined in your prayers.
- May the grace of the Lord Jesus be with God’s holy people.
- Fear of the Lord is the foundation of true wisdom.
All who obey his commandments will grow in wisdom.
Praise him forever! - Surely your goodness and unfailing love will pursue me
all the days of my life,
and I will live in the house of the Lord
forever.
