Isaiah 61:10-62:3

English Standard Version

¹⁰^(A)I will greatly rejoice in the Lord;
    my soul shall exult in my God,
^(B)for he has clothed me with the garments of salvation;
    he has covered me with the robe of righteousness,
as a bridegroom decks himself ^(C)like a priest with a beautiful headdress,
    ^(D)and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.
¹¹For as the earth brings forth its sprouts,
    and as a garden causes what is sown in it to sprout up,
so the Lord God will cause ^(E)righteousness and praise
    to sprout up before all the nations.

Zion's Coming Salvation

62 ^(F)For Zion's sake I will not keep silent,
    and for Jerusalem's sake I will not be quiet,
^(G)until her righteousness goes forth as brightness,
    and her salvation as a burning torch.
²^(H)The nations shall see your righteousness,
    and all the kings your glory,
^(I)and you shall be called by a new name
    that the mouth of the Lord will give.
³You shall be ^(J)a crown of beauty in the hand of the Lord,
    and a royal diadem in the hand of your God.

Psalm 147

English Standard Version

He Heals the Brokenhearted

147 ^(A)Praise the Lord!
For ^(B)it is good to sing praises to our God;
    for ^(C)it is pleasant,^[a] and ^(D)a song of praise is fitting.
²The Lord ^(E)builds up Jerusalem;
    he ^(F)gathers the outcasts of Israel.
³He heals ^(G)the brokenhearted
    and ^(H)binds up their wounds.
⁴He ^(I)determines the number of the stars;
    he ^(J)gives to all of them their names.
⁵^(K)Great is our Lord, and ^(L)abundant in power;
    ^(M)his understanding is beyond measure.
⁶The Lord ^(N)lifts up the humble;^[b]
    he casts the wicked to the ground.

⁷^(O)Sing to the Lord with thanksgiving;
    make melody to our God on ^(P)the lyre!
⁸He covers the heavens with clouds;
    he prepares ^(Q)rain for the earth;
    he makes ^(R)grass grow on the hills.
⁹He ^(S)gives to the beasts their food,
    and to ^(T)the young ravens that cry.
¹⁰His delight is not in ^(U)the strength of the horse,
    nor his pleasure in the legs of a man,
¹¹but the Lord ^(V)takes pleasure in those who fear him,
    in those who ^(W)hope in his steadfast love.

¹²Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem!
    Praise your God, O Zion!
¹³For he strengthens ^(X)the bars of your gates;
    he blesses your children within you.
¹⁴He ^(Y)makes peace in your borders;
    he ^(Z)fills you with the ^(AA)finest of the wheat.
¹⁵He ^(AB)sends out his command to the earth;
    his word runs swiftly.
¹⁶He gives ^(AC)snow like wool;
    he scatters ^(AD)frost like ashes.
¹⁷He hurls down his crystals of ^(AE)ice like crumbs;
    who can stand before his ^(AF)cold?
¹⁸He ^(AG)sends out his word, and melts them;
    he makes his wind blow and the waters flow.
¹⁹He declares his word to Jacob,
    his ^(AH)statutes and rules^[c] to Israel.
²⁰He ^(AI)has not dealt thus with any other nation;
    they do not know his rules.^[d]
^(AJ)Praise the Lord!

Galatians 3:23-25

English Standard Version

²³Now before faith came, we were held captive under the law, ^(A)imprisoned until the coming faith would be revealed. ²⁴So then, ^(B)the law was our ^(C)guardian until Christ came, ^(D)in order that we might be justified by faith. ²⁵But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian,

Galatians 4:4-7

English Standard Version

⁴But ^(A)when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, ^(B)born ^(C)of woman, born ^(D)under the law, ⁵^(E)to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive ^(F)adoption as sons. ⁶And because you are sons, God has sent ^(G)the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, “Abba! Father!” ⁷So you are no longer a slave, but a son, and if a son, then ^(H)an heir through God.

John 1:1-18

English Standard Version

The Word Became Flesh

1 ^(A)In the beginning was ^(B)the Word, and ^(C)the Word was with God, and ^(D)the Word was God. ²He was in the beginning with God. ³^(E)All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made. ⁴^(F)In him was life,^[a] and ^(G)the life was the light of men. ⁵^(H)The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

⁶There was a man ^(I)sent from God, whose name was ^(J)John. ⁷He came as a ^(K)witness, to bear witness about the light, ^(L)that all might believe through him. ⁸^(M)He was not the light, but came to bear witness about the light.

⁹^(N)The true light, which gives light to everyone, was coming into the world. ¹⁰He was in the world, and the world was made through him, yet ^(O)the world did not know him. ¹¹He came to ^(P)his own,^[b] and ^(Q)his own people^[c] ^(R)did not receive him. ¹²But to all who did receive him, ^(S)who believed in his name, ^(T)he gave the right ^(U)to become ^(V)children of God, ¹³who ^(W)were born, ^(X)not of blood ^(Y)nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.

¹⁴And ^(Z)the Word ^(AA)became flesh and ^(AB)dwelt among us, ^(AC)and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son^[d] from the Father, full of ^(AD)grace and ^(AE)truth. ¹⁵(^(AF)John bore witness about him, and cried out, “This was he of whom I said, ^(AG)‘He who comes after me ranks before me, because he was before me.’”) ¹⁶For from ^(AH)his fullness we have all received, ^(AI)grace upon grace.^[e] ¹⁷For ^(AJ)the law was given through Moses; ^(AK)grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. ¹⁸^(AL)No one has ever seen God; ^(AM)the only God,^[f] who is at the Father's side,^[g] ^(AN)he has made him known.
