Isaiah 9:2-7
New International Version
2 The people walking in darkness(A)
have seen a great light;(B)
on those living in the land of deep darkness(C)
a light has dawned.(D)
3 You have enlarged the nation(E)
and increased their joy;(F)
they rejoice before you
as people rejoice at the harvest,
as warriors rejoice
when dividing the plunder.(G)
4 For as in the day of Midian’s defeat,(H)
you have shattered(I)
the yoke(J) that burdens them,
the bar across their shoulders,(K)
the rod of their oppressor.(L)
5 Every warrior’s boot used in battle
and every garment rolled in blood
will be destined for burning,(M)
will be fuel for the fire.
6 For to us a child is born,(N)
to us a son is given,(O)
and the government(P) will be on his shoulders.(Q)
And he will be called
Wonderful Counselor,(R) Mighty God,(S)
Everlasting(T) Father,(U) Prince of Peace.(V)
7 Of the greatness of his government(W) and peace(X)
there will be no end.(Y)
He will reign(Z) on David’s throne
and over his kingdom,
establishing and upholding it
with justice(AA) and righteousness(AB)
from that time on and forever.(AC)
The zeal(AD) of the Lord Almighty
will accomplish this.
John 3:16-18
New International Version
16 For God so loved(A) the world that he gave(B) his one and only Son,(C) that whoever believes(D) in him shall not perish but have eternal life.(E) 17 For God did not send his Son into the world(F) to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.(G) 18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned,(H) but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.(I)
