Direct my steps in Your Word, and let no iniquity have dominion over me.

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 deliverance to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set free with deliverance those who are oppressed;

As He spoke these words, many believed into Him.

And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free.

Jesus answered them, Truly, truly, I say to you, Everyone practicing sin is a slave of sin.

Therefore if the Son sets you free, you shall truly be free.

But he 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 will be blessed in his deeds.

So speak and so do as those who will be judged by the law of liberty.

While they promise them liberty, they themselves are slaves of corruption; for by whom a person is overcome, by him also he is brought into bondage.

I am a sojourner in the earth; do not hide Your Commandments from me.

It is good for me that I have been afflicted, that I may learn Your Statutes.

I am Yours, save me; for I have sought Your Precepts.

My eyes have met the night watches, that I may meditate on Your Word.

I rejoice at Your Word, as one who finds great spoils.

if you seek her as silver, and search for her as for hidden treasures,

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

He that separates himself seeks his own desire; he breaks out against all sound wisdom.

And I have given my heart to seek and search out by wisdom concerning all that which is done under the heavens. It is an evil task which God has given to the sons of men to be busied with.

You search the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life; and these are they which bear witness of Me.

Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is.
