i1 [To the Chief Musician. Maschil. A Psalm of David, when Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul, and said to him, David has come to the house of Ahimelech.] i0 par Why do you boast yourself in evil, O mighty man? The Mighty God is good daily.

Mercy and truth have met together; righteousness and peace have kissed.

Yea, Jehovah will give good; and our land shall yield its increase.

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 abuse you and persecute you,

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

Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in Heaven is perfect.

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

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 holds us, because we judge thus: that if One died for all, then all died;

and He died for all, that those who live should no longer live unto themselves, but unto Him who died for them and rose again.

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

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

Therefore be imitators of God as beloved children.

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

Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering;

bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also do.

Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God; and everyone who loves is born from God and knows God.

In this the love of God was revealed in us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him.

Beloved, if God so loved us, we also 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 also loves his brother.

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

Lead me in Your truth, and teach me; for You are the God of my salvation; upon You do I wait all day long.

I will behave wisely in a perfect way. Oh, when will You come to me? I will walk within my house with a perfect heart.

Your righteousness is an eternal righteousness, and Your Law is truth.

Remember now, O Jehovah, I pray, how I have walked before You in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done what was good in Your eyes. And Hezekiah wailed with great weeping.

O house of Jacob, come and let us walk in the light of Jehovah.

To the Law and to the Testimony! If they do not speak according to this Word, it is because there is no light in them.

Jesus said to him, I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.

But you have not so learned Christ,

that you put off, concerning your former conduct, the old man which is corrupted according to the deceitful lusts,

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

But if we walk 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 every sin.

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

For I rejoiced greatly when brethren came and bore witness of the truth that is in you, just as you walk in truth.

I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in truth.
