- For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.
- For your steadfast love is great to the heavens,
your faithfulness to the clouds. - Not to us, O Lord, not to us, but to your name give glory,
for the sake of your steadfast love and your faithfulness! - For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved.
- The heavens declare the glory of God,
and the sky above proclaims his handiwork.
Day to day pours out speech,
and night to night reveals knowledge. - Heal the sick in it and say to them, ‘The kingdom of God has come near to you.’
- For to us a child is born,
to us a son is given;
and the government shall be upon his shoulder,
and his name shall be called
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. - Deep calls to deep
at the roar of your waterfalls;
all your breakers and your waves
have gone over me. - I baptize you with water for repentance, but he who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.
- But you, beloved, building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit, keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ that leads to eternal life.
- Looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.
- Your word is a lamp to my feet
and a light to my path. - Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will hear you.
- And I fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to me, ‘Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?’
- Return to me, says the Lord of hosts, and I will return to you, says the Lord of hosts.
- Jesus then said, “I will be with you a little longer, and then I am going to him who sent me.”
- Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”
- May mercy, peace, and love be multiplied to you.
- Therefore I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven people, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven.
- If you turn at my reproof,
behold, I will pour out my spirit to you;
I will make my words known to you. - Jesus said to her, “Did I not tell you that if you believed you would see the glory of God?”
- That is, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation.
- And I tell you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.
- Jesus said to her, “Do not cling to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to my brothers and say to them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’”
- He said to them, “Because of your little faith. For truly, I say to you, if you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move, and nothing will be impossible for you.”
So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith.The Lord our God be with us, as he was with our fathers. May he not leave us or forsake us. And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.Next verse!With image
