- The grace of the Lord Jesus be with you all.
- Do not withhold kindness from anyone to whom it is due
when it is in your power to grant it. - I lifted up my voice in prayer to him;
his praise was on my tongue. - Before the mountains were brought forth
or the earth and the world came into existence,
from everlasting to everlasting you are God. - When my anxious thoughts multiplied,
your comfort filled my soul with joy. - For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so too do we believe that God will bring forth with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him.
- The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.

- On the last and greatest day of the feast, Jesus stood up and cried out,
“If anyone is thirsty,
let him come to me and drink.” - When I sing to you, my lips will rejoice,

ascend to where he was before? - You are from your father, the devil,
and you choose to carry out your father’s desires.
He was a murderer from the beginning,
and he does not abide by the truth,
for there is no truth in him.
When he lies,
he speaks in accord with his own nature,
for he is a liar
and the father of lies. - Then he led them out as far as Bethany, and lifting up his hands he blessed them. While he was blessing them, he departed from them and was taken up to heaven.
- Therefore, when someone is guilty of any one of these things, he shall confess the sin he has committed.
- I was eager to respond
to those who did not consult me.
I was anxious to be approached
by those who did not seek me.
I said, “Here I am! Here I am!”
to a nation that did not summon me. - 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.
- Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
- He was despised and shunned by others,
a man of sorrows who was no stranger to suffering.

“My teaching is not my own;
rather, it comes from him who sent me.” - Blessed are you when people insult you and persecute you and utter all kinds of calumnies against you for my sake.

God sent his only-begotten Son into the world
so that we might have life through him.
