- I have blotted out your transgressions like a cloud
and your sins like mist;
return to me, for I have redeemed you. - Who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.
- For so the Lord has commanded us, saying,
‘I have made you a light for the Gentiles,
that you may bring salvation to the ends of the earth.’ - But let justice roll down like waters,
and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream. - And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.
- In the way of your testimonies I delight
as much as in all riches. - As far as the east is from the west,
so far does he remove our transgressions from us. - As I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell on them just as on us at the beginning.
- I stretch out my hands to you;
my soul thirsts for you like a parched land. Selah - I will sing to the Lord as long as I live;
I will sing praise to my God while I have being. - But in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect.
- But I received mercy for this reason, that in me, as the foremost, Jesus Christ might display his perfect patience as an example to those who were to believe in him for eternal life.
- For you bless the righteous, O Lord;
you cover him with favor as with a shield. - For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ.
- But as it is, Christ has obtained a ministry that is as much more excellent than the old as the covenant he mediates is better, since it is enacted on better promises.
- Be merciful, even as your Father is merciful.
- If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.
- As sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, yet possessing everything.
- God, the Lord, is my strength;
he makes my feet like the deer's;
he makes me tread on my high places. - Until the Spirit is poured upon us from on high,
and the wilderness becomes a fruitful field,
and the fruitful field is deemed a forest. - A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another.
- Come now, let us reason together, says the Lord:
though your sins are like scarlet,
they shall be as white as snow;
though they are red like crimson,
they shall become like wool. - Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.
- And the Lord restored the fortunes of Job, when he had prayed for his friends. And the Lord gave Job twice as much as he had before.
- In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
