Proverbs 4:18

Commit your deeds to Yahweh, and your plans shall succeed.

but those who wait for Yahweh will renew their strength. They will mount up with wings like eagles. They will run, and not be weary. They will walk, and not faint.

having good behavior among the nations, so in that of which they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they see, glorify God in the day of visitation.

seeing it is God who said, “Light will shine out of darkness,” who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

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

I have come as a light into the world, that whoever believes in me may not remain in the darkness.

All things, whatever you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive.”

he will make your righteousness shine out like light, and your justice as the noon day sun.

While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”

For you shall not go out in haste, neither shall you go by flight: for Yahweh will go before you; and the God of Israel will be your rear guard.

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

but in every nation he who fears him and works righteousness is acceptable to him.

May he grant you your heart’s desire, and fulfill all your counsel.

Many will purify themselves, and make themselves white, and be refined; but the wicked will do wickedly; and none of the wicked will understand; but those who are wise will understand.

Jesus therefore said to them, “Yet a little while the light is with you. Walk while you have the light, that darkness doesn’t overtake you. He who walks in the darkness doesn’t know where he is going.

in whom the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving, that the light of the Good News of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should not dawn on them.

that you may walk worthily of the Lord, to please him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God,

Righteousness goes before him, And prepares the way for his steps.

I have seen his ways, and will heal him. I will lead him also, and restore comforts to him and to his mourners.

For I will restore health to you, and I will heal you of your wounds,” says Yahweh; “because they have called you an outcast, saying, ‘It is Zion, whom no man seeks after.’ ”

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.

This is the message which we have heard from him and announce to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.

Life will be clearer than the noonday. Though there is darkness, it will be as the morning.

Light dawns in the darkness for the upright, gracious, merciful, and righteous.

But when I speak with you, I will open your mouth, and you shall tell them, ‘This is what the Lord Yahweh says.’ He who hears, let him hear; and he who refuses, let him refuse; for they are a rebellious house.”

“I will heal their waywardness. I will love them freely; for my anger is turned away from him.

“In this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; and so you will be my disciples.

For whom he foreknew, he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.

that the proof of your faith, which is more precious than gold that perishes even though it is tested by fire, may be found to result in praise, glory, and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ—

The angel of God, who went before the camp of Israel, moved and went behind them; and the pillar of cloud moved from before them, and stood behind them.

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

Let the favor of the Lord our God be on us. Establish the work of our hands for us. Yes, establish the work of our hands.

Yahweh is good to all. His tender mercies are over all his works.

and when you turn to the right hand, and when you turn to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, “This is the way. Walk in it.”

This is the judgment, that the light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light; for their works were evil.

I am the vine. You are the branches. He who remains in me and I in him bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.

For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I will know fully, even as I was also fully known.

As we have borne the image of those made of dust, let’s also bear the image of the heavenly.

but speaking truth in love, we may grow up in all things into him who is the head, Christ,

that you may become blameless and harmless, children of God without defect in the middle of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you are seen as lights in the world,

Beloved, now we are children of God. It is not yet revealed what we will be; but we know that when he is revealed, we will be like him; for we will see him just as he is.

But you, Yahweh, are a shield around me, my glory, and the one who lifts up my head.

Commit your way to Yahweh. Trust also in him, and he will do this:

For you, God, have tested us. You have refined us, as silver is refined.

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

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.

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.

I will also give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit within you. I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh.

for this people’s heart has grown callous, their ears are dull of hearing, they have closed their eyes; or else perhaps they might perceive with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their heart, and would turn again; and I would heal them.’

If you remain in me, and my words remain in you, you will ask whatever you desire, and it will be done for you.

Father, I desire that they also whom you have given me be with me where I am, that they may see my glory, which you have given me, for you loved me before the foundation of the world.

Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away. Behold, all things have become new.

Blessed is a person who endures temptation, for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life, which the Lord promised to those who love him.

Yes, and for this very cause adding on your part all diligence, in your faith supply moral excellence; and in moral excellence, knowledge;

and I will give him the morning star.

God said, “Let’s make man in our image, after our likeness. Let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the sky, and over the livestock, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”

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.

The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life. He who is wise wins souls.

Let no corrupt speech proceed out of your mouth, but only what is good for building others up as the need may be, that it may give grace to those who hear.

For you were once darkness, but are now light in the Lord. Walk as children of light,

For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man looking at his natural face in a mirror;

having a good conscience. Thus, while you are spoken against as evildoers, they may be disappointed who curse your good way of life in Christ.

He who acts unjustly, let him act unjustly still. He who is filthy, let him be filthy still. He who is righteous, let him do righteousness still. He who is holy, let him be holy still.”

shall be as the light of the morning, when the sun rises, a morning without clouds, when the tender grass springs out of the earth, through clear shining after rain.’

Yet the righteous will hold to his way. He who has clean hands will grow stronger and stronger.

They go from strength to strength. Every one of them appears before God in Zion.

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.”

You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.”

Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart.

For Zion’s sake I will not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest, until her righteousness shines out like the dawn, and her salvation like a burning lamp.

Those who are wise will shine as the brightness of the expanse. Those who turn many to righteousness will shine as the stars forever and ever.

There will be no night, and they need no lamp light or sun light; for the Lord God will illuminate them. They will reign forever and ever.

Though your beginning was small, yet your latter end would greatly increase.

The light of the righteous shines brightly, but the lamp of the wicked is snuffed out.

The way of the just is uprightness. You who are upright make the path of the righteous level.

You are the light of the world. A city located on a hill can’t be hidden.

Even so, let your light shine before men; that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.

But we all, with unveiled face seeing the glory of the Lord as in a mirror, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord, the Spirit.

Not that I have already obtained, or am already made perfect; but I press on, that I may take hold of that for which also I was taken hold of by Christ Jesus.

But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both now and forever. Amen.

“So let all your enemies perish, Yahweh, but let those who love him be as the sun when it rises in its strength.” Then the land had rest forty years.

But he knows the way that I take. When he has tried me, I will come out like gold.

You will show me the path of life. In your presence is fullness of joy. In your right hand there are pleasures forever more.

Direct me in the path of your commandments, for I delight in them.

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.”

that you may be children of your Father who is in heaven. For he makes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the just and the unjust.

He spoke another parable to them. “The Kingdom of Heaven is like yeast, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, until it was all leavened.”

yet when it is sown, grows up, and becomes greater than all the herbs, and puts out great branches, so that the birds of the sky can lodge under its shadow.”

This I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and all discernment,

as newborn babies, long for the pure milk of the Word, that with it you may grow,

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:

The city has no need for the sun or moon to shine, for the very glory of God illuminated it, and its lamp is the Lamb.

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.

For the earth bears fruit: first the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear.

Then again he laid his hands on his eyes. He looked intently, and was restored, and saw everyone clearly.

It is like yeast, which a woman took and hid in three measures of flour, until it was all leavened.”

Nicodemus answered him, “How can these things be?”

For everyone who does evil hates the light, and doesn’t come to the light, lest his works would be exposed.

I give eternal life to them. They will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand.

Every branch in me that doesn’t bear fruit, he takes away. Every branch that bears fruit, he prunes, that it may bear more fruit.
