- Just as water reflects one’s face,
so does one human heart reflect another. - Let your face shine upon your servant;
save me in your kindness. - Consequently, anyone united to Christ is a new creation. The old order has passed away. Behold, all has become new.
- Restore us, O Lord of hosts;
let your face shine upon us,
and we will be saved. - Reflect on the Lord and his strength;
seek his face continually. - Seek the Lord and his strength,
seek his face continually. - The face of the Lord is turned against those who do evil,
to erase all memory of them from the earth. - I will give you a new heart and place a new spirit within you. I will remove from your body a heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh in its place.
- For the Lord, your God, is gracious and compassionate, and he will not turn his face away from you if you return to him.
- The Lord bless you and keep you.
The Lord shine his face upon you and be gracious to you.
The Lord look upon you kindly and give you peace. - For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous
and his ears are attentive to their prayer.
However, the face of the Lord
is set against those who do evil. - I give you a new commandment:
love one another.
Just as I have loved you,
so you should also love one another. - And he did the same with the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which will be poured out for you.”
- But when you fast, put oil on your head and wash your face, so that the fact that you are fasting will not be obvious to others but only to your Father who is hidden. And your Father who sees everything that is done in secret will reward you.
- My soul thirsts for God, the living God.
When shall I come to behold the face of God? - Do not lie to one another, since you have stripped off the old self with its practices and have put on the new self that is being renewed in knowledge after the image of its creator.
- In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was formless and barren, and darkness covered the abyss while the Spirit of God hovered over the waters.
- Therefore, do not allow anyone to pass judgment on you in regard to what you eat or drink, or about the observance of Festivals, New Moons, or Sabbaths. These are only a shadow of what is to come. The reality is Christ.
- It was not their own swords that won them the land,
nor did their own arms make them victorious;
rather, it was your right hand and your arm
and the light of your face,
because you loved them. - And if then my people who bear my name humble themselves and pray to me and seek my presence as they turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear them from heaven and forgive their sins and restore their land.
- For this reason, he is the mediator of a new covenant, so that those who have been called may receive the promised eternal inheritance, since his death has served to redeem the sins that were committed under the first covenant.
- The love of the Lord is never exhausted,
nor do his deeds of mercy ever come to an end.
They are renewed every morning;
his faithfulness never ceases. - Blessings are showered on the head of the righteous,
but sorrow will cover the face of the wicked. - He gives strength to the weary
and new vigor to those who are powerless. - And God said, “Behold, I give you every plant that produces seeds upon the earth and every tree that has fruit with its seed inside of it: these shall be your food.”
