And the Book of this Law shall not depart from your mouth, and you shall meditate on it day and night, that you may know how to do all the things that are written [in it]; then shall you prosper, and make your ways prosperous, and then shall you be wise.

But his pleasure is in the law of the Lord; and in His law will he meditate day and night.

So shall the sayings of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be pleasing continually before You, O Lord my helper, and my redeemer.

My mouth shall speak of wisdom, and the meditation of my heart shall bring [forth] understanding.

For I have remembered You on my bed; in the early seasons I have meditated on You.

And I will meditate on all Your works, and will consider Your doings.

Let my meditation be sweet to Him, and I will rejoice in the Lord.

Remember His wonderful works that He has done; His wonders, and the judgments of His mouth;

I will meditate on Your commandments, and consider Your ways.

For princes sat and spoke against me; but Your servant was meditating on Your statutes.

And I lifted up my hands to Your commandments which I loved; and I meditated in Your statutes.

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.

My eyes prevented the dawn, that I might meditate on Your oracles.

I remembered the days of old; and I meditated on all Your doings: [yea], I meditated on the works of Your hands.

But we will faithfully engage in prayer and in the ministry of the word."

I urge you, brothers (you know the household of Stephanas, that it is the firstfruits of Achaia, and that they have devoted themselves to the ministry of the saints)

knowing that He who raised the Lord Jesus will also raise us through Jesus, and will present us together with you.

and not as we hoped, but they first gave their own selves to the Lord, and then to us by the will of God,

who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself a people as [His] own possession, zealous for good works.

Instructing the brothers in these things, you will be a good minister of Jesus Christ, being nourished by the words of faith and of the good doctrine which you have carefully followed.

Thus let your light shine before men, so that they may see your good works, and they may glorify your Father who is in heaven.

in order that you may become blameless and harmless, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverted generation, among whom you shine as light bearers in the world,

holding fast the word of life, so that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain or labored in vain.
