Your word [is] a lamp to my feet And a light to my path.

For the commandment [is] a lamp, And the law a light; Reproofs of instruction [are] the way of life,

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.

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

To give light to those who sit in darkness and the shadow of death, To guide our feet into the way of peace."

'to open their eyes, [in order] to turn [them] from darkness to light, and [from] the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in Me.'

whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them.

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

But all things that are exposed are made manifest by the light, for whatever makes manifest is light.

Therefore He says: "Awake, you who sleep, Arise from the dead, And Christ will give you light."

And so we have the prophetic word confirmed, which you do well to heed as a light that shines in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts;

The law of the LORD [is] perfect, converting the soul; The testimony of the LORD [is] sure, making wise the simple;

To give prudence to the simple, To the young man knowledge and discretion --

"How long, you simple ones, will you love simplicity? For scorners delight in their scorning, And fools hate knowledge.

Turn at my rebuke; Surely I will pour out my spirit on you; I will make my words known to you.

"Whoever [is] simple, let him turn in here!" [As for] him who lacks understanding, she says to him,

Forsake foolishness and live, And go in the way of understanding.

For those who are such do not serve our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly, and by smooth words and flattering speech deceive the hearts of the simple.

For your obedience has become known to all. Therefore I am glad on your behalf; but I want you to be wise in what is good, and simple concerning evil.

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

that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.
