He who didn’t spare his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how would he not also with him freely give us all things?

One who believes in the Son has eternal life, but one who disobeys the Son won’t see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.”

We love him, because he first loved us.

and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him who loves us, and washed us from our sins by his blood—

But you go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice,’ for I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.”

No one has seen God at any time. The one and only Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, has declared him.

The Word became flesh, and lived among us. We saw his glory, such glory as of the one and only Son of the Father, full of grace and truth.

But when the kindness of God our Savior and his love toward mankind appeared,

Your dead shall live. My dead bodies shall arise. Awake and sing, you who dwell in the dust; for your dew is like the dew of herbs, and the earth will cast out the departed spirits.

Therefore still having one, his beloved son, he sent him last to them, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’

“Glory to God in the highest, on earth peace, good will toward men.”

Don’t be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what is the good, well-pleasing, and perfect will of God.

so then let’s not sleep, as the rest do, but let’s watch and be sober.

Awake, awake! Put on your strength, Zion. Put on your beautiful garments, Jerusalem, the holy city: for from now on the uncircumcised and the unclean will no more come into you.

By this we know love, because he laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers.

Then your light will break out as the morning, and your healing will appear quickly; then your righteousness shall go before you, and Yahweh’s glory will be your rear guard.

Don’t love the world or the things that are in the world. If anyone loves the world, the Father’s love isn’t in him.

By this God’s love was revealed in us, that God has sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him.

But as it is written, “Things which an eye didn’t see, and an ear didn’t hear, which didn’t enter into the heart of man, these God has prepared for those who love him.”

with all lowliness and humility, with patience, bearing with one another in love,

bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, if any man has a complaint against any; even as Christ forgave you, so you also do.

“For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.

This is the Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show to his servants the things which must happen soon, which he sent and made known by his angel to his servant, John,

One of the elders said to me, “Don’t weep. Behold, the Lion who is of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has overcome: he who opens the book and its seven seals.”

You will also decree a thing, and it will be established to you. Light will shine on your ways.

I will tell of the decree: Yahweh said to me, “You are my son. Today I have become your father.

Your word is a lamp to my feet, and a light for my path.

Jesus answered him, “Most certainly, I tell you, unless one is born anew, he can’t see God’s Kingdom.”

Love is patient and is kind. Love doesn’t envy. Love doesn’t brag, is not proud,

and I will give him the morning star.

The scepter will not depart from Judah, nor the ruler’s staff from between his feet, until he comes to whom it belongs. To him will the obedience of the peoples be.

Moreover the light of the moon will be like the light of the sun, and the light of the sun will be seven times brighter, like the light of seven days, in the day that Yahweh binds up the fracture of his people, and heals the wound they were struck with.

He has shown you, O man, what is good. What does Yahweh require of you, but to act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?

The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.

Some of you were such, but you were washed. But you were sanctified. But you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and in the Spirit of our God.

and that you be renewed in the spirit of your mind,

See how great a love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God! For this cause the world doesn’t know us, because it didn’t know him.

Turn again, we beg you, God of Armies. Look down from heaven, and see, and visit this vine,

The entrance of your words gives light. It gives understanding to the simple.

It will happen in that day that the nations will seek the root of Jesse, who stands as a banner of the peoples; and his resting place will be glorious.

For he grew up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of dry ground. He has no good looks or majesty. When we see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.

From him will come the cornerstone, from him the nail, from him the battle bow, from him every ruler together.

Again, therefore, Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the light of life.”

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, God’s love, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Amen.

Be therefore imitators of God, as beloved children.

and have put on the new man, who is being renewed in knowledge after the image of his Creator,

has at the end of these days spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, through whom also he made the worlds.

Finally, all of you be like-minded, compassionate, loving as brothers, tenderhearted, courteous,

No one has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God remains in us, and his love has been perfected in us.

If a man says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who doesn’t love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen?

Behold, he is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him, including those who pierced him. All the tribes of the earth will mourn over him. Even so, Amen.

Your throne, God, is forever and ever. A scepter of equity is the scepter of your kingdom.

For Yahweh God is a sun and a shield. Yahweh will give grace and glory. He withholds no good thing from those who walk blamelessly.

Of the increase of his government and of peace there shall be no end, on David’s throne, and on his kingdom, to establish it, and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness from that time on, even forever. The zeal of Yahweh of Armies will perform this.

“Behold, the days come,” says Yahweh, “that I will raise to David a righteous Branch, and he will reign as king and deal wisely, and will execute justice and righteousness in the land.

‘Behold, I will bring it health and cure, and I will cure them; and I will reveal to them abundance of peace and truth.

In him was life, and the life was the light of men.

The seventh angel sounded, and great voices in heaven followed, saying, “The kingdom of the world has become the Kingdom of our Lord, and of his Christ. He will reign forever and ever!”

But to you who fear my name shall the sun of righteousness arise with healing in its wings. You will go out, and leap like calves of the stall.

A shoot will come out of the stock of Jesse, and a branch out of his roots will bear fruit.

Hear now, Joshua the high priest, you and your fellows who sit before you; for they are men who are a sign: for, behold, I will bring out my servant, the Branch.

Put on therefore, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, a heart of compassion, kindness, lowliness, humility, and perseverance;

not by works of righteousness which we did ourselves, but according to his mercy, he saved us through the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit,

We have the more sure word of prophecy; and you do well that you heed it, as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns, and the morning star arises in your hearts:

I see him, but not now. I see him, but not near. A star will come out of Jacob. A scepter will rise out of Israel, and shall strike through the corners of Moab, and crush all the sons of Sheth.

Until the day is cool, and the shadows flee away, I will go to the mountain of myrrh, to the hill of frankincense.

and speak to him, saying, ‘Yahweh of Armies says, “Behold, the man whose name is the Branch: and he shall grow up out of his place; and he shall build Yahweh’s temple;

and will dash you and your children within you to the ground. They will not leave in you one stone on another, because you didn’t know the time of your visitation.”

And be kind to one another, tender hearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you.

“Have you commanded the morning in your days, and caused the dawn to know its place,

Yahweh, remember your tender mercies and your loving kindness, for they are from old times.

Until the day is cool, and the shadows flee away, turn, my beloved, and be like a roe or a young deer on the mountains of Bether.

I will tell of the loving kindnesses of Yahweh and the praises of Yahweh, according to all that Yahweh has given to us, and the great goodness toward the house of Israel, which he has given to them according to his mercies, and according to the multitude of his loving kindnesses.

Look down from heaven, and see from the habitation of your holiness and of your glory. Where are your zeal and your mighty acts? The yearning of your heart and your compassion is restrained toward me.

Let’s acknowledge Yahweh. Let’s press on to know Yahweh. As surely as the sun rises, Yahweh will appear. He will come to us like the rain, like the spring rain that waters the earth.”

For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

Simeon has reported how God first visited the nations to take out of them a people for his name.

But God, being rich in mercy, for his great love with which he loved us,

Therefore he says, “Awake, you who sleep, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.”

For God is my witness, how I long after all of you in the tender mercies of Christ Jesus.

If therefore there is any exhortation in Christ, if any consolation of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any tender mercies and compassion,

(the Lord grant to him to find the Lord’s mercy in that day); and in how many things he served at Ephesus, you know very well.

But whoever has the world’s goods and sees his brother in need, then closes his heart of compassion against him, how does God’s love remain in him?

I, Jesus, have sent my angel to testify these things to you for the assemblies. I am the root and the offspring of David, the Bright and Morning Star.”
