Isaiah 43:16-21
New International Version
16 This is what the Lord says—
he who made a way through the sea,
a path through the mighty waters,(A)
17 who drew out(B) the chariots and horses,(C)
the army and reinforcements together,(D)
and they lay(E) there, never to rise again,
extinguished, snuffed out like a wick:(F)
18 “Forget the former things;(G)
do not dwell on the past.
19 See, I am doing a new thing!(H)
Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?
I am making a way in the wilderness(I)
and streams in the wasteland.(J)
20 The wild animals(K) honor me,
the jackals(L) and the owls,
because I provide water(M) in the wilderness
and streams in the wasteland,
to give drink to my people, my chosen,
21 the people I formed(N) for myself(O)
that they may proclaim my praise.(P)

Philippians 3:8-14
New International Version
8 What is more, I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing(A) Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them garbage, that I may gain Christ(B) 9 and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law,(C) but that which is through faith in[a] Christ—the righteousness(D) that comes from God on the basis of faith.(E) 10 I want to know(F) Christ—yes, to know the power of his resurrection and participation in his sufferings,(G) becoming like him in his death,(H) 11 and so, somehow, attaining to the resurrection(I) from the dead.
12 Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already arrived at my goal,(J) but I press on to take hold(K) of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me.(L) 13 Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind(M) and straining toward what is ahead, 14 I press on(N) toward the goal to win the prize(O) for which God has called(P) me heavenward in Christ Jesus.

John 8:1-11
New International Version
8 1 but Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.(A)
2 At dawn he appeared again in the temple courts, where all the people gathered around him, and he sat down to teach them.(B) 3 The teachers of the law and the Pharisees brought in a woman caught in adultery. They made her stand before the group 4 and said to Jesus, “Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery. 5 In the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women.(C) Now what do you say?” 6 They were using this question as a trap,(D) in order to have a basis for accusing him.(E)
But Jesus bent down and started to write on the ground with his finger. 7 When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, “Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone(F) at her.”(G) 8 Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground.
9 At this, those who heard began to go away one at a time, the older ones first, until only Jesus was left, with the woman still standing there. 10 Jesus straightened up and asked her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?”
11 “No one, sir,” she said.
“Then neither do I condemn you,”(H) Jesus declared. “Go now and leave your life of sin.”(I)
