Psalms 119:72

as children of obedience, not conforming yourselves according to your former lusts as in your ignorance,

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

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

Therefore I urge you, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service.

Therefore don’t be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.

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.

If you were of the world, the world would love its own. But because you are not of the world, since I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.

that you no longer should live the rest of your time in the flesh for the lusts of men, but for the will of God.

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

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,

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.

I haven’t gone back from the commandment of his lips. I have treasured up the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.

Pure religion and undefiled before our God and Father is this: to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained by the world.

You adulterers and adulteresses, don’t you know that friendship with the world is hostility toward God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.

This book of the law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it; for then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall have good success.

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

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.

For this is the will of God: your sanctification, that you abstain from sexual immorality,

Create in me a clean heart, O God. Renew a right spirit within me.

The works of his hands are truth and justice. All his precepts are sure.

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

by which he has granted to us his precious and exceedingly great promises; that through these you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world by lust.

We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies in the power of the evil one.

Oh taste and see that Yahweh is good. Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him.

I have hidden your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you.

I have given them your word. The world hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ, salutes you, always striving for you in his prayers, that you may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God.

Therefore I consider all of your precepts to be right. I hate every false way.

Cast away from you all your transgressions, in which you have transgressed; and make yourself a new heart and a new spirit: for why will you die, house of Israel?

Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.

Therefore the law indeed is holy, and the commandment holy, and righteous, and good.

For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, “He has taken the wise in their craftiness.”

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.

who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us out of this present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father—

For if, after they have escaped the defilement of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in it and overcome, the last state has become worse for them than the first.

Don’t be surprised, my brothers, if the world hates you.

He restores my soul. He guides me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.

Unless your law had been my delight, I would have perished in my affliction.

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

I have longed for your salvation, Yahweh. Your law is my delight.

“But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days,” says Yahweh: “I will put my law in their inward parts, and I will write it in their heart. I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

The world can’t hate you, but it hates me, because I testify about it, that its works are evil.

All who dwell on the earth will worship him, everyone whose name has not been written from the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb who has been killed.

in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the children of disobedience.

Praise Yah! Blessed is the man who fears Yahweh, who delights greatly in his commandments.

How I love your law! It is my meditation all day.

I will no more speak much with you, for the prince of the world comes, and he has nothing in me.

For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am fleshly, sold under sin.

having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope of his calling, and what are the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,

The great dragon was thrown down, the old serpent, he who is called the devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world. He was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him.

Why should you be like a scared man, as a mighty man who can’t save? Yet you, Yahweh, are in the middle of us, and we are called by your name. Don’t leave us.

that he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, that you may be strengthened with power through his Spirit in the inner person,

How sweet are your promises to my taste, more than honey to my mouth!

Your words were found, and I ate them. Your words were to me a joy and the rejoicing of my heart, for I am called by your name, Yahweh, God of Armies.

I delight to do your will, my God. Yes, your law is within my heart.”

Let my meditation be sweet to him. I will rejoice in Yahweh.

He said to me, “Son of man, cause your belly to eat, and fill your bowels with this scroll that I give you.” Then I ate it; and it was as sweet as honey in my mouth.

Let your Kingdom come. Let your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

How narrow is the gate, and restricted is the way that leads to life! Few are those who find it.

“Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like treasure hidden in the field, which a man found, and hid. In his joy, he goes and sells all that he has, and buys that field.

Therefore we don’t faint, but though our outward man is decaying, yet our inward man is renewed day by day.

The world is passing away with its lusts, but he who does God’s will remains forever.

It shall be with him, and he shall read from it all the days of his life, that he may learn to fear Yahweh his God, to keep all the words of this law and these statutes, to do them;

It can’t be gotten for gold, neither will silver be weighed for its price.

Yahweh’s law is perfect, restoring the soul. Yahweh’s covenant is sure, making wise the simple.

Therefore I love your commandments more than gold, yes, more than pure gold.

I rejoice at your word, as one who finds great plunder.

For her good profit is better than getting silver, and her return is better than fine gold.

Receive my instruction rather than silver, knowledge rather than choice gold.

My fruit is better than gold, yes, than fine gold, my yield than choice silver.

How much better it is to get wisdom than gold! Yes, to get understanding is to be chosen rather than silver.

Buy the truth, and don’t sell it. Get wisdom, discipline, and understanding.

Moses commanded us a law, an inheritance for the assembly of Jacob.

All the people went their way to eat, to drink, to send portions, and to celebrate, because they had understood the words that were declared to them.

Man doesn’t know its price; Neither is it found in the land of the living.
