Jesus Is the Light of the World

¹² Then Jesus again spoke to them, saying, “^(A)I am the Light of the world; ^(B)the one who follows Me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of life.”

^46 (A)I have come as Light into the world, so that no one who believes in Me will remain in darkness.

⁹ But you are ^(A)a chosen people, a royal ^(B)priesthood, a ^(C)holy nation, ^(D)a people for God’s own possession, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you ^(E)out of darkness into His marvelous light;

^17 (A)rescuing you ^(B)from the Jewish people and from the Gentiles, to whom I am sending you, ¹⁸ to ^(C)open their eyes so that they may turn from ^(D)darkness to light, and from the ^[a]power of ^(E)Satan to God, that they may receive ^(F)forgiveness of sins and an ^(G)inheritance among those who have been sanctified by ^(H)faith in Me.’

¹² giving thanks to ^(A)the Father, who has qualified us ^[a]to share in ^(B)the inheritance of the ^[b]saints in ^(C)light.

⁸ for ^(A)you were once ^(B)darkness, but now you are light in the Lord; walk as ^(C)children of light ⁹ (for ^(D)the fruit of the light consists in all ^(E)goodness, righteousness, and truth),
