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 I trust in your loving kindness. My heart rejoices in your salvation.

My steps have held fast to your paths. My feet have not slipped.

Establish my footsteps in your word. Don’t let any iniquity have dominion over me.

If anyone sees his brother sinning a sin not leading to death, he shall ask, and God will give him life for those who sin not leading to death. There is a sin leading to death. I don’t say that he should make a request concerning this.

But these speak evil of whatever things they don’t know. They are destroyed in these things that they understand naturally, like the creatures without reason.
