that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

This is the will of the one who sent me, that everyone who sees the Son, and believes in him, should have eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.”

But as it is written, “Things which an eye didn’t see, and an ear didn’t hear, which didn’t enter into the heart of man, these God has prepared for those who love him.”

He who didn’t spare his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how would he not also with him freely give us all things?

One who believes in the Son has eternal life, but one who disobeys the Son won’t see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.”

We love him, because he first loved us.

For from of old men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, nor has the eye seen a God besides you, who works for him who waits for him.

For I will pour water on him who is thirsty, and streams on the dry ground. I will pour my Spirit on your descendants, and my blessing on your offspring:

I give eternal life to them. They will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand.

The next day, he saw Jesus coming to him, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!

For if while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we will be saved by his life.

Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our Father, who loved us and gave us eternal comfort and good hope through grace,

He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.

He said, “Don’t lay your hand on the boy or do anything to him. For now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your son, your only son, from me.”

But God, being rich in mercy, for his great love with which he loved us,

and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him who loves us, and washed us from our sins by his blood—

But you go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice,’ for I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.”

No one has seen God at any time. The one and only Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, has declared him.

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

I, even I, am he who blots out your transgressions for my own sake; and I will not remember your sins.

But when the kindness of God our Savior and his love toward mankind appeared,

Yahweh passed by before him, and proclaimed, “Yahweh! Yahweh, a merciful and gracious God, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness and truth,

Therefore still having one, his beloved son, he sent him last to them, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’

Listen, my beloved brothers. Didn’t God choose those who are poor in this world to be rich in faith, and heirs of the Kingdom which he promised to those who love him?

“Glory to God in the highest, on earth peace, good will toward men.”

You will show me the path of life. In your presence is fullness of joy. In your right hand there are pleasures forever more.

Without controversy, the mystery of godliness is great: God was revealed in the flesh, justified in the spirit, seen by angels, preached among the nations, believed on in the world, and received up in glory.

Now he who made us for this very thing is God, who also gave to us the down payment of the Spirit.

But when the fullness of the time came, God sent out his Son, born to a woman, born under the law,

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

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil. My cup runs over.

Yahweh, you will ordain peace for us, for you have also done all our work for us.

See then the goodness and severity of God. Toward those who fell, severity; but toward you, goodness, if you continue in his goodness; otherwise you also will be cut off.

Then Yahweh’s ransomed ones will return, and come with singing to Zion; and everlasting joy will be on their heads. They will obtain gladness and joy, and sorrow and sighing will flee away.”

But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his works may be revealed, that they have been done in God.”

They shall be abundantly satisfied with the abundance of your house. You will make them drink of the river of your pleasures.

Surely God is good to Israel, to those who are pure in heart.

For you both had compassion on me in my chains, and joyfully accepted the plundering of your possessions, knowing that you have for yourselves a better possession and an enduring one in the heavens.

By this God’s love was revealed in us, that God has sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him.

Your God has commanded your strength. Strengthen, God, that which you have done for us.

Yahweh’s glory shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together; for the mouth of Yahweh has spoken it.”

All the multitude kept silence, and they listened to Barnabas and Paul reporting what signs and wonders God had done among the nations through them.

The four living creatures, each one of them having six wings, are full of eyes around and within. They have no rest day and night, saying, “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God, the Almighty, who was and who is and who is to come!”

There is no one as holy as Yahweh, for there is no one besides you, nor is there any rock like our God.

I will tell of the decree: Yahweh said to me, “You are my son. Today I have become your father.

One called to another, and said, “Holy, holy, holy, is Yahweh of Armies! The whole earth is full of his glory!”

Tear your heart, and not your garments, and turn to Yahweh, your God; for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness, and relents from sending calamity.

I am the living bread which came down out of heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. Yes, the bread which I will give for the life of the world is my flesh.”

So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase.

His Son is the radiance of his glory, the very image of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, who, when he had by himself purified us of our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high,

Surely there is no enchantment with Jacob; Neither is there any divination with Israel. Now it shall be said of Jacob and of Israel, ‘What has God done!’

Yahweh is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness.

Commit your deeds to Yahweh, and your plans shall succeed.

Therefore when he comes into the world, he says, “You didn’t desire sacrifice and offering, but you prepared a body for me.

Oh taste and see that Yahweh is good. Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him.

You shall rejoice in all the good which Yahweh your God has given to you, and to your house, you, and the Levite, and the foreigner who is among you.

His soul will dwell at ease. His offspring will inherit the land.

Your eyes will see the king in his beauty. They will see a distant land.

God give you of the dew of the sky, of the fatness of the earth, and plenty of grain and new wine.

Who is like you, Yahweh, among the gods? Who is like you, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?

He said, “I will make all my goodness pass before you, and will proclaim Yahweh’s name before you. I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will show mercy on whom I will show mercy.”

and the priest shall wave them for a wave offering before Yahweh. They are holy for the priest, together with the breast that is waved and the thigh that is offered. After that the Nazirite may drink wine.

You shall prepare wine for the drink offering, one fourth of a hin, with the burnt offering or for the sacrifice, for each lamb.

On the eighth day he sent the people away; and they blessed the king, and went to their tents joyful and glad in their hearts for all the goodness that Yahweh had shown to David his servant, and to Israel his people.

However I didn’t believe the words until I came and my eyes had seen it. Behold, not even half was told me! Your wisdom and prosperity exceed the fame which I heard.

“Now therefore arise, Yahweh God, into your resting place, you, and the ark of your strength. Let your priests, Yahweh God, be clothed with salvation, and let your saints rejoice in goodness.

However I didn’t believe their words until I came, and my eyes had seen it; and behold half of the greatness of your wisdom wasn’t told me. You exceed the fame that I heard!

Oh how great is your goodness, which you have laid up for those who fear you, which you have worked for those who take refuge in you, before the sons of men!

How precious is your loving kindness, God! The children of men take refuge under the shadow of your wings.

You are the most excellent of the sons of men. Grace has anointed your lips, therefore God has blessed you forever.

Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God shines out.

The pastures are covered with flocks. The valleys also are clothed with grain. They shout for joy! They also sing.

For you, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive, abundant in loving kindness to all those who call on you.

But you, Lord, are a merciful and gracious God, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness and truth.

Let the favor of the Lord our God be on us. Establish the work of our hands for us. Yes, establish the work of our hands.

let them praise Yahweh’s name, for his name alone is exalted. His glory is above the earth and the heavens.

Behold, you are beautiful, my beloved, yes, pleasant; and our couch is verdant.

My beloved is white and ruddy. The best among ten thousand.

His legs are like pillars of marble set on sockets of fine gold. His appearance is like Lebanon, excellent as the cedars.

Your mouth is like the best wine, that goes down smoothly for my beloved, gliding through the lips of those who are asleep.

In that day, Yahweh’s branch will be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the land will be the beauty and glory of the survivors of Israel.

Therefore the Lord will not rejoice over their young men, neither will he have compassion on their fatherless and widows; for everyone is profane and an evildoer, and every mouth speaks folly. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.

I will tell of the loving kindnesses of Yahweh and the praises of Yahweh, according to all that Yahweh has given to us, and the great goodness toward the house of Israel, which he has given to them according to his mercies, and according to the multitude of his loving kindnesses.

Look down from heaven, and see from the habitation of your holiness and of your glory. Where are your zeal and your mighty acts? The yearning of your heart and your compassion is restrained toward me.

They will come and sing in the height of Zion, and will flow to the goodness of Yahweh, to the grain, to the new wine, to the oil, and to the young of the flock and of the herd. Their soul will be as a watered garden. They will not sorrow any more at all.

the voice of joy and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, the voice of those who say, ‘Give thanks to Yahweh of Armies, for Yahweh is good, for his loving kindness endures forever;’ who bring thanksgiving into Yahweh’s house. For I will cause the captivity of the land to be reversed as at the first,” says Yahweh.

You will have plenty to eat, and be satisfied, and will praise the name of Yahweh, your God, who has dealt wondrously with you; and my people will never again be disappointed.

It will happen in that day, that the mountains will drop down sweet wine, the hills will flow with milk, all the brooks of Judah will flow with waters, and a fountain will flow out from Yahweh’s house, and will water the valley of Shittim.

In that day the beautiful virgins and the young men will faint for thirst.

Yahweh of Armies will defend them; and they will destroy and overcome with sling stones; and they will drink, and roar as through wine; and they will be filled like bowls, like the corners of the altar.

Ephraim will be like a mighty man, and their heart will rejoice as through wine; yes, their children will see it, and rejoice. Their heart will be glad in Yahweh.

The Word became flesh, and lived among us. We saw his glory, such glory as of the one and only Son of the Father, full of grace and truth.

For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

But God commends his own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

The law came in that the trespass might abound; but where sin abounded, grace abounded more exceedingly;

if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is gracious:

I write to you, fathers, because you know him who is from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because you have overcome the evil one. I write to you, little children, because you know the Father.
