Psalm 25:1-10

New International Version

Psalm 25^[a]

Of David.

¹In you, Lord my God,
I put my trust.^(A)

²I trust in you;^(B)
    do not let me be put to shame,
    nor let my enemies triumph over me.
³No one who hopes in you
    will ever be put to shame,^(C)
but shame will come on those
    who are treacherous^(D) without cause.

⁴Show me your ways, Lord,
    teach me your paths.^(E)
⁵Guide me in your truth^(F) and teach me,
    for you are God my Savior,^(G)
    and my hope is in you^(H) all day long.
⁶Remember, Lord, your great mercy and love,^(I)
    for they are from of old.
⁷Do not remember the sins of my youth^(J)
    and my rebellious ways;^(K)
according to your love^(L) remember me,
    for you, Lord, are good.^(M)

⁸Good and upright^(N) is the Lord;
    therefore he instructs^(O) sinners in his ways.
⁹He guides^(P) the humble in what is right
    and teaches them^(Q) his way.
¹⁰All the ways of the Lord are loving and faithful^(R)
    toward those who keep the demands of his covenant.^(S)

John 3:16-21

New International Version

¹⁶For 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) ¹⁷For God did not send his Son into the world^(F) to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.^(G) ¹⁸Whoever 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) ¹⁹This is the verdict: Light^(J) has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil.^(K) ²⁰Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed.^(L) ²¹But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done has been done in the sight of God.
