How I have loved Your law, O Lord! It is my meditation all the day.

I have more understanding than all my teachers; for Your testimonies are my meditation.

I have kept back my feet from every evil way, that I might keep Your words.

How sweet are Your oracles to my taste! More so than honey to my mouth!

Your law is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my paths.

For by the hearing of these a wise man will be wiser, and a man of understanding will gain direction;

[My] son, if you will receive the utterance of my commandment, and hide it within you;

For if you shall call to wisdom, and utter your voice for understanding;

then shall you understand the fear of the Lord, and find the knowledge of God.

and He treasures up salvation for them that walk uprightly: He will protect their way;

Then shall you understand righteousness and judgment, equity [and] every good path.

[then] good counsel shall guard you, and holy understanding shall keep you;

But the ways of the righteous shine like light; they go forth and shine, until the day has fully come.

But the ways of the ungodly are like darkness; they know not how they stumble.

For the commandment of the law is a lamp and a light; a way of life; reproof also and correction:

The spirit of man is a light of the Lord, who searches the inmost parts of the belly.

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.

And I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not, and I will cause them to tread paths which they have not known; I will turn darkness into light for them, and crooked things into straight. These things will I do, and will not forsake them.

Let us follow on to know the Lord: we shall find Him ready as the morning, and He will come to us as the early and latter rain to the earth.

He answered and said to them, "To you it has been given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given.

For whoever has, to him more shall be given, and he shall be in abundance; but whoever does not have, even what he has shall be taken away from him.

Then He said to them, "Therefore every scribe having become a disciple in the kingdom of heaven is like a householder who brings out of his treasure new and old [things]."

Then He said to them, "Watch what you hear. By what measure you measure, it will be measured out to you; and [more] will be added to you who hear.

For whoever has, [more] will be given to him; and the [one] who does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him."

Because it is God who commanded light to shine out of darkness, who shined in our hearts to give [the] light of the knowledge of the glory of God in [the] face of Jesus Christ.

that we may no longer be infants, being tossed as by waves, and being carried about by every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, by craftiness in regard to deceitful scheming,

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.

and that from childhood you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise to salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

that the man of God may be proficient, having been thoroughly equipped for every good work.

But solid food is for the mature, for those because of their practice have their senses trained for the distinguishing of both good and evil.

But the [one] who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues [in it], and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this one shall be blessed in what he does.

but grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory both now and forever. Amen.
