Psalms 85:13

Those who belong to Christ have crucified the flesh with its passions and lusts.

He died for all, that those who live should no longer live to themselves, but to him who for their sakes died and rose again.

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.

“ ‘You shall not take vengeance, nor bear any grudge against the children of your people; but you shall love your neighbor as yourself. I am Yahweh.

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

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

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

But far be it from me to boast, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to 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.

Walk in love, even as Christ also loved us and gave himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling fragrance.

For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.

A man’s heart plans his course, but Yahweh directs his steps.

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

Seeing you have purified your souls in your obedience to the truth through the Spirit in sincere brotherly affection, love one another from the heart fervently,

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

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.

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.

Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.

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

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.’ ”

Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart; and you will find rest for your souls.

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.

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—

He will keep the feet of his holy ones, but the wicked will be put to silence in darkness; for no man will prevail by strength.

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

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

I walk in the way of righteousness, in the middle of the paths of justice,

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

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.

For the love of Christ constrains us; because we judge thus, that one died for all, therefore all died.

Examine your own selves, whether you are in the faith. Test your own selves. Or don’t you know about your own selves, that Jesus Christ is in you?—unless indeed you are disqualified.

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.

Lead me, Yahweh, in your righteousness because of my enemies. Make your way straight before my face.

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

Remain in me, and I in you. As the branch can’t bear fruit by itself unless it remains in the vine, so neither can you, unless you remain in me.

“I command these things to you, that you may love one another.

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.

Have this in your mind, which was also in Christ Jesus,

who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify for himself a people for his own possession, zealous for good works.

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.

This is his commandment, that we should believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and love one another, even as he commanded.

But the path of the righteous is like the dawning light that shines more and more until the perfect day.

Make the path of your feet level. Let all of your ways be established.

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.

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.

But if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him;

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

that I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, becoming conformed to his death,

I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me.

For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.

who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.

Because Christ also suffered for sins once, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring you to God, being put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the Spirit,

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

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 you are my rock and my fortress, therefore for your name’s sake lead me and guide me.

Yahweh, I know that the way of man is not in himself. It is not in man who walks to direct his steps.

Also, do not present your members to sin as instruments of unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God as alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God.

because the mind of the flesh is hostile toward God; for it is not subject to God’s law, neither indeed can it be.

“Arise, shine; for your light has come, and Yahweh’s glory has risen on you.

Now before the feast of the Passover, Jesus, knowing that his time had come that he would depart from this world to the Father, having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end.

“This is my commandment, that you love one another, even as I have loved you.

No, in all these things, we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.

One thing I have asked of Yahweh, that I will seek after: that I may dwell in Yahweh’s house all the days of my life, to see Yahweh’s beauty, and to inquire in his temple.

He brought me up also out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay. He set my feet on a rock, and gave me a firm place to stand.

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

Clouds and darkness are around him. Righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.

knowing this, that our old man was crucified with him, that the body of sin might be done away with, so that we would no longer be in bondage to sin.

What man is he who fears Yahweh? He shall instruct him in the way that he shall choose.

A man’s steps are established by Yahweh. He delights in his way.

Mercy and truth meet together. Righteousness and peace have kissed each other.

I will satisfy him with long life, and show him my salvation.”

In that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you.

Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened.

For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared before that we would walk in them.

that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith, to the end that you, being rooted and grounded in love,

to whom God was pleased to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.

seeing that his divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and virtue,

Again, I write a new commandment to you, which is true in him and in you; because the darkness is passing away and the true light already shines.

Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne. Loving kindness and truth go before your face.

A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also love one another.

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.

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.

I have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. That life which I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself up for me.

Therefore, since Christ suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same mind; for he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin,

he who says he remains in him ought himself also to walk just like he walked.

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

Whoever offers the sacrifice of thanksgiving glorifies me, and prepares his way so that I will show God’s salvation to him.”

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

For you were called to this, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving you an example, that you should follow his steps,

I heard a voice from heaven saying, “Write, ‘Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.’ ” “Yes,” says the Spirit, “that they may rest from their labors; for their works follow with them.”
