Psalms 119:97

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,

Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, Yahweh, my rock, and my redeemer.

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.

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly; in all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your heart to the Lord.

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,

Therefore keep the words of this covenant and do them, that you may prosper in all that you do.

“Everyone therefore who hears these words of mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man, who built his house on a rock.

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.

But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, for its lusts.

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.

Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven; but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.

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

My son, don’t forget my teaching; but let your heart keep my commandments:

If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them.

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?

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—

Every Scripture is God-breathed and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for instruction in righteousness,

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.

Only be careful, and keep your soul diligently, lest you forget the things which your eyes saw, and lest they depart from your heart all the days of your life; but make them known to your children and your children’s children—

But the word is very near to you, in your mouth and in your heart, that you may do it.

I have taken your testimonies as a heritage forever, for they are the joy of my heart.

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

The good man out of his good treasure brings out good things, and the evil man out of his evil treasure brings out evil things.

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.

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.

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.

For I delight in God’s law after the inward man,

but his delight is in Yahweh’s law. On his law he meditates day and night.

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.

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

My son, let them not depart from your eyes. Keep sound wisdom and discretion:

When you lie down, you will not be afraid. Yes, you will lie down, and your sleep will be sweet.

The work of righteousness will be peace, and the effect of righteousness, quietness and confidence forever.

All your children will be taught by Yahweh; and your children’s peace will be great.

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.

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

And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus.

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

Therefore you shall lay up these words of mine in your heart and in your soul. You shall bind them for a sign on your hand, and they shall be for frontlets between your eyes.

They are more to be desired than gold, yes, than much fine gold, sweeter also than honey and the extract of the honeycomb.

But the humble shall inherit the land, and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.

so you shall know wisdom to be to your soul. If you have found it, then there will be a reward: Your hope will not be cut off.

Search in the book of Yahweh, and read: not one of these will be missing. None will lack her mate. For my mouth has commanded, and his Spirit has gathered them.

But it shall not be so among you, but whoever wants to become great among you shall be your servant.

so that you may approve the things that are excellent, that you may be sincere and without offense to the day of Christ,

I went to the angel, telling him to give me the little book. He said to me, “Take it, and eat it. It will make your stomach bitter, but in your mouth it will be as sweet as honey.”

I will delight myself in your commandments, because I love them.

I will meditate on your precepts, and consider your ways.

I reach out my hands for your commandments, which I love. I will meditate on your statutes.

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

But if the service of death, written engraved on stones, came with glory, so that the children of Israel could not look steadfastly on the face of Moses for the glory of his face, which was passing away,

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;

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.

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.

Consider how I love your precepts. Revive me, Yahweh, according to your loving kindness.

Those who love your law have great peace. Nothing causes them to stumble.

My soul has observed your testimonies. I love them exceedingly.

For wisdom will enter into your heart. Knowledge will be pleasant to your soul.

When you walk, it will lead you. When you sleep, it will watch over you. When you awake, it will talk with you.

The heart of one who has understanding seeks knowledge, but the mouths of fools feed on folly.

A man who isolates himself pursues selfishness, and defies all sound judgment.

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.
