Isaiah 40:25-31
New International Version
25 “To whom will you compare me?(A)
Or who is my equal?” says the Holy One.(B)
26 Lift up your eyes and look to the heavens:(C)
Who created(D) all these?
He who brings out the starry host(E) one by one
and calls forth each of them by name.
Because of his great power and mighty strength,(F)
not one of them is missing.(G)
27 Why do you complain, Jacob?
Why do you say, Israel,
“My way is hidden from the Lord;
my cause is disregarded by my God”?(H)
28 Do you not know?
Have you not heard?(I)
The Lord is the everlasting(J) God,
the Creator(K) of the ends of the earth.(L)
He will not grow tired or weary,(M)
and his understanding no one can fathom.(N)
29 He gives strength(O) to the weary(P)
and increases the power of the weak.
30 Even youths grow tired and weary,
and young men(Q) stumble and fall;(R)
31 but those who hope(S) in the Lord
will renew their strength.(T)
They will soar on wings like eagles;(U)
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint.(V)

22 Because of the Lord’s great love(A) we are not consumed,(B)
for his compassions never fail.(C)
23 They are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.(D)
24 I say to myself, “The Lord is my portion;(E)
therefore I will wait for him.”
25 The Lord is good to those whose hope is in him,
to the one who seeks him;(F)
26 it is good to wait quietly(G)
for the salvation of the Lord.(H)
27 It is good for a man to bear the yoke
while he is young.

Living Godly Lives in a Pagan Society
11 Dear friends,(A) I urge you, as foreigners and exiles,(B) to abstain from sinful desires,(C) which wage war against your soul.(D) 12 Live such good lives among the pagans that, though they accuse you of doing wrong, they may see your good deeds(E) and glorify God(F) on the day he visits us.
13 Submit yourselves for the Lord’s sake to every human authority:(G) whether to the emperor, as the supreme authority, 14 or to governors, who are sent by him to punish those who do wrong(H) and to commend those who do right.(I) 15 For it is God’s will(J) that by doing good you should silence the ignorant talk of foolish people.(K) 16 Live as free people,(L) but do not use your freedom as a cover-up for evil;(M) live as God’s slaves.(N) 17 Show proper respect to everyone, love the family of believers,(O) fear God, honor the emperor.(P)
18 Slaves, in reverent fear of God submit yourselves to your masters,(Q) not only to those who are good and considerate,(R) but also to those who are harsh. 19 For it is commendable if someone bears up under the pain of unjust suffering because they are conscious of God.(S) 20 But how is it to your credit if you receive a beating for doing wrong and endure it? But if you suffer for doing good and you endure it, this is commendable before God.(T)
1 John 3:1-3
New International Version
3 See what great love(A) the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God!(B) And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him.(C) 2 Dear friends,(D) now we are children of God,(E) and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when Christ appears,[a](F) we shall be like him,(G) for we shall see him as he is.(H) 3 All who have this hope in him purify themselves,(I) just as he is pure.(J)

The Disciples’ Grief Will Turn to Joy
16 Jesus went on to say, “In a little while(A) you will see me no more, and then after a little while you will see me.”(B)
17 At this, some of his disciples said to one another, “What does he mean by saying, ‘In a little while you will see me no more, and then after a little while you will see me,’(C) and ‘Because I am going to the Father’?”(D) 18 They kept asking, “What does he mean by ‘a little while’? We don’t understand what he is saying.”
19 Jesus saw that they wanted to ask him about this, so he said to them, “Are you asking one another what I meant when I said, ‘In a little while you will see me no more, and then after a little while you will see me’? 20 Very truly I tell you, you will weep and mourn(E) while the world rejoices. You will grieve, but your grief will turn to joy.(F) 21 A woman giving birth to a child has pain(G) because her time has come; but when her baby is born she forgets the anguish because of her joy that a child is born into the world. 22 So with you: Now is your time of grief,(H) but I will see you again(I) and you will rejoice, and no one will take away your joy.(J)
