He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.

Yahweh says to my Lord, “Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies your footstool for your feet.”

Let’s therefore draw near with boldness to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and may find grace for help in time of need.

Yahweh, your God, is among you, a mighty one who will save. He will rejoice over you with joy. He will calm you in his love. He will rejoice over you with singing.

who, existing in the form of God, didn’t consider equality with God a thing to be grasped,

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.

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

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

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

Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.

Now when he had taken the book, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each one having a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints.

“Look to me, and be saved, all the ends of the earth; for I am God, and there is no other.

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

And being found in human form, he humbled himself, becoming obedient to the point of death, yes, the death of the cross.
