- In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.
- Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.
- I cried to him with my mouth,
and high praise was on my tongue. - The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all. Amen.
- When the cares of my heart are many,
your consolations cheer my soul. - For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, through Jesus, God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep.
- Before the mountains were brought forth,
or ever you had formed the earth and the world,
from everlasting to everlasting you are God. - The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.
- For when I kept silent, my bones wasted away
through my groaning all day long. - I was ready to be sought by those who did not ask for me;
I was ready to be found by those who did not seek me.
I said, “Here I am, here I am,”
to a nation that was not called by my name. - Train up a child in the way he should go;
even when he is old he will not depart from it. - The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.
- On the last day of the feast, the great day, Jesus stood up and cried out, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink.”
- For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified.
- He was still speaking when, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and a voice from the cloud said, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased; listen to him.”
- Even a fool who keeps silent is considered wise;
when he closes his lips, he is deemed intelligent. - You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies.
- My lips will shout for joy,
when I sing praises to you;
my soul also, which you have redeemed. - Then what if you were to see the Son of Man ascending to where he was before?
- 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.
- When you vow a vow to God, do not delay paying it, for he has no pleasure in fools. Pay what you vow.
- I will praise you with an upright heart,
when I learn your righteous rules. - Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
- So Jesus answered them, “My teaching is not mine, but his who sent me.”
- He was despised and rejected by men,
a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief;
and as one from whom men hide their faces
he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
And over his head they put the charge against him, which read, “This is Jesus, the King of the Jews.”And the angel said to them, “Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people.”
