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

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

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.

Thus consider yourselves also to be dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Therefore, my brothers, you also were made dead to the law through the body of Christ, that you would be joined to another, to him who was raised from the dead, that we might produce fruit to God.
