And Ananias departed and entered the house; and putting his hands on him, he said, "Brother Saul, the Lord has sent me, the One who appeared to you in the way which you were coming, so that you may see again and be filled with the Holy Spirit."

And immediately there fell from his eyes [something] like scales, and he saw again; and arising, he was baptized,

Unveil my eyes, and I shall perceive the wondrous things of Your law.

The Lord gives wisdom to the blind; the Lord sets up the broken down; the Lord loves the righteous:; the Lord preserves the strangers;

And in that day the deaf shall hear the words of the book, and they that are in darkness, and they that are in mist; the eyes of the blind shall see,

And they shall no longer trust in men, but they shall incline their ears to hear.

Then shall the eyes of the blind be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall hear.

to open the eyes of the blind, to bring the bound and them that sit in darkness out of bonds and the prison house.

and I have brought forth the blind people; for [their] eyes are alike blind, and those that have ears are deaf.

"The Spirit of the LORD is upon Me, because He has anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed;

And He opened their understanding, that they might comprehend the Scriptures.

And Jesus said, "For judgment I came into this world, that those who do not see may see, and those who see might become blind."

among whom the god of this age has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, so that the illumination of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should not shine on them.

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.

the eyes of your heart having been enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints,

that the Christ was to suffer, that as the first to rise from the dead, He was about to proclaim light to the Jewish people and to the Gentiles."

For so the Lord has commanded us: 'I have set you to be a light of the nations, that you should be for salvation to the end of the earth.'"

O people walking in darkness, behold a great light; you that dwell in the region [and] shadow of death, a light shall shine upon you.

And He said to me, [It is] a great thing for you to be called My servant, to establish the tribes of Jacob, and to recover the dispersion of Israel; behold, I have given you for the covenant of a race, for a light of the Gentiles, that you should be for salvation to the end of the earth.

Be enlightened, be enlightened, O Jerusalem, for your light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon you!

And kings shall walk in your light, and nations in your brightness.

But to you that fear My name shall the Sun of righteousness arise, and healing [shall be] in His wings: and you shall go forth, and bound as young calves let loose from bonds.

the people sitting in darkness have seen a great light, and to those who sat in the land and the shadow of death, light sprang up on them."

"The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore your eye is sound, your whole body will be full of light.

But if your eye is evil, your whole body will be dark. If therefore the light that is in you is darkness, how great is that darkness!

to give light to them that sit in darkness and [in] the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace."

a light for a revelation to the Gentiles, and a glory to Your people Israel."

In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.

There was a man sent from God, whose name [was] John.

He was not that Light, but [was sent] so that he might testify concerning the Light.

And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness more than the light, because their works were evil.

Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, "I am the light of the world. He that follows Me shall by no means walk in darkness, but will have the light of life."

While I am in the world, I am the light of the world."

Then Jesus said to them, "[For] yet a little while longer the light is with you. Walk while you have the light, lest darkness overtake you; he who walks in darkness does not know where he is going.

While you have the light, believe in the light, so that you may become sons of light." These things Jesus spoke, and departing, He was hidden from them.

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.

Do not become unequally yoked with unbelievers; for what participation is there for righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion is there for light with darkness?

the eyes of your heart having been enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints,

having been darkened in understanding, being estranged from the life of God, because of the ignorance which is in them, because of the hardness of their heart;

For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light--

Therefore He says: "Awake, you who are sleeping, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you."

But you, brothers, are not in darkness, so that this Day should overtake you as a thief.

Therefore let us not sleep, as others do, but let us watch and be sober.

But we, since we are of the day, let us be sober, putting on a breastplate of faith and love, and as a helmet, the hope of salvation.

But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God's [own] possession, that you may proclaim the excellent virtues of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;

For you were like sheep going astray, but you have turned back now to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.

Again, a new commandment I am writing to you, which [thing] is true in Him and in you, because the darkness is passing away, and the true light already shines.

He who says that he is in the light, and hates his brother, is in darkness until now.

Will anyone take spoils from a giant? And if one should take [a man] captive unjustly, shall he be delivered?

For thus says the Lord, If one should take a giant captive, he shall take spoils, and he who takes [them] from a mighty [man] shall be delivered; for I will plead your cause, and I will deliver your children.

In [His] humiliation His judgment was taken away; who shall declare His generation? For His life is taken away from the earth; because of the iniquities of My people He was led to death.

The Lord also is pleased to purge Him from His stroke. If you give an offering for sin, Your soul shall see a long-lived seed;

Therefore He shall inherit many, and He shall divide the spoils of the mighty; because His soul was delivered to death; and He was numbered among the transgressors; and He bore the sins of many, and was delivered up because of their transgressions.

When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own palace, his possessions are in peace.

But when a stronger [than] he comes upon [him], he overcomes him, he takes away his full armor in which he had trusted, and distributes his spoils.

He has delivered us from the dominion of darkness and transferred us into the kingdom of the Son of His love,

and they regain their senses [and escape] out of the snare of the devil, having been captured alive by him to do his will.

Therefore since the children have partaken of flesh and blood, He Himself likewise shared in the same things, in order that through death He might destroy the [one] having the power of death, that is, the devil,

and that He might set free these, as many as by fear of death through all of their lives, were subject to bondage.

He who practices sin is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. For this [reason] the Son of God appeared, that He might destroy the works of the devil.

We know that we are from God, and the whole world lies [under the sway] of the evil [one].

But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God's [own] possession, that you may proclaim the excellent virtues of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;

And he seized the dragon, that serpent of old, who is [the] Devil and Satan, he who deceives the whole world, and he bound him for a thousand years;

and he cast him into the bottomless pit, and locked and sealed [it] over him, so that he should deceive the nations no more until the thousand years were finished. [But] after these things he must be released for a short time.

Then Peter said to them, "Repent, and let each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

Repent therefore and turn back, that your sins may be wiped away, in order that seasons of relaxation may come from the presence of the Lord,

Him God has exalted to His right hand as Prince and Savior, to give repentance to Israel and forgiveness of sins.

To Him all the prophets bear witness, [that] through His name, everyone believing in Him shall receive forgiveness of sins."

Therefore let it be known to you, brothers, that through this Man forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you,

and from all things from which you could not (by the Law of Moses) be justified, by Him everyone that believes is justified.

[A Psalm] of instruction by David. Blessed [are they] whose transgressions are forgiven, and who sins are covered.

Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin, and in whose mouth there is no guile.

to give knowledge of salvation to His people by the remission of their sins,

and that repentance and forgiveness of sins should be preached in His name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.

just as David also speaks of the blessing of the man to whom God accounts righteousness apart from works:

Blessed is the man to whom the LORD shall by no means impute sin."

nor covetous, nor thieves, nor drunkards, nor abusive people, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.

And such were some of you! But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God.

In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace

in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.

If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

I am writing to you, little children, because your sins have been forgiven you on account of His name.

So for the present, I entrust you, brothers, to God and to the word of His grace, which is able to build you up and give you an inheritance among all those who have been sanctified.

And if children, then heirs--heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer together, so that we may also be glorified together.

In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestined according to the purpose of Him who works all things according to the counsel of His will,

who is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the possession, to the praise of His glory.

giving thanks to the Father who has qualified us to share in the inheritance of the saints in the light.

And on account of this He is the Mediator of the new covenant, so that, since a death has occurred for redemption of the transgressions at the time of the first covenant, that those having been called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.

Listen, my beloved brothers. Did God not choose the poor of the world [to be] rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which He promised to those that love Him?

into an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled and unfading, reserved in the heavens for you,

So for the present, I entrust you, brothers, to God and to the word of His grace, which is able to build you up and give you an inheritance among all those who have been sanctified.

Sanctify them by Your truth; Your word is truth.

to the church of God which is at Corinth, to those who have been sanctified in Christ Jesus, called [to be] saints, with all those who in every place are calling on the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours:

But from Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification and redemption;

And such were some of you! But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God.

not by works of righteousness which we did, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit,

whom He poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior,

By which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

For by one offering He has perfected forever those who are being sanctified.

Jude, a bondservant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to those who are called, having been sanctified by God the Father, and having been kept in Jesus Christ:

But there shall by no means enter into it any common [thing], and the [one] doing an abomination and a lie, but only those who are written in the Lamb's Book of Life.

and made no distinction between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith.

Jesus answered and said to her, "If you had known the gift of God, and who it is that says to you, 'Give Me a drink,' you would have asked Him, and He would have given to you living water."

but whoever drinks of the water which I shall give him will by no means ever thirst again. But the water which I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into eternal life."

He that believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his belly will flow rivers of living water."

(But this He spoke concerning the Spirit, whom those believing in Him were about to receive; for the Holy Spirit was not yet [given], because Jesus was not yet glorified.)

Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,

through whom also we have had access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the [life] which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave Himself for me.

This only do I wish to learn from you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?

so that the blessing of Abraham might come to the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

For by grace you are saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; [it is] the gift of God,

But without faith it is impossible to please [God], for it is necessary [for] the [one] approaching God to believe that He is, and that He becomes a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.
