For the end, [A Psalm] of instruction by David, when Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul, and said to him, David has gone to the house of Abimelech. Why do you, O mighty man, boast of iniquity in your mischief? All the day

Mercy and truth have met together; righteousness and peace have kissed [each other].

For the Lord shall give that which is good; and our land shall yield its fruit.

But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you,

For if you love those who love you, what reward have you? Do not even the tax collectors do the same?

You therefore be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.

Therefore be compassionate, just as your Father also is compassionate.

But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.

For the love of Christ compels us, having concluded this: that if One died for all, then all died;

and He died for all, so that they who live should live no longer for themselves, but for the [One] who died for them and rose again.

For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet on account of you He became poor, that you through His poverty might become rich.

And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as also God in Christ forgave us.

Therefore be imitators of God as beloved children.

And walk in love, just as Christ also loved us and gave Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a fragrant aroma.

Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on hearts of compassion, kindness, humility, meekness, patience;

forbearing one another and forgiving yourselves, if anyone should have a complaint against any; just as Christ forgave you, so you also [do].

Beloved, let us love one another, because love is of God; and everyone that loves has been born of God and knows God.

By this the love of God is manifested in us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, in order that we might live through Him.

Beloved, if in this way God loved us, indeed we ought to love one another.

We love Him because He first loved us.

And this commandment we have from Him: that he who loves God should love his brother also.

Beloved, do not imitate the evil, but the good. He who does good is of God; he who does evil has not seen God.

Lead me in Your truth, and teach me; for You are God my Savior; and I have waited on You all the day.

and I will be wise in a blameless way. When will You come to me? I walked in the innocence of my heart, in the midst of my house.

Your righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and Your law is truth.

O Lord, remember, I pray, how I have walked before You in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in Your eyes. And Hezekiah wept with a great weeping.

And now, O house of Jacob, come, [and] let us walk in the light of the Lord.

For He has given the law for a help, that they should not speak according to this word, concerning which there are no gifts to give for it.

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

But you did not thus learn Christ,

that you put off, concerning your former way of life, the old man which is being corrupted according to the deceitful lusts,

and that you put on the new man which was created in the likeness of God, in true righteousness and holiness.

But if we are walking in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.

I rejoiced greatly that I have found some of your children walking in truth, just as we received commandment from the Father.

For I rejoiced greatly when [the] brothers came and witnessed to the truth which is in you, just as you walk in truth.

I have no greater joy than these things, that I hear [that] my children are walking in truth.
