Psalm 119:9-16

How can young people keep their way pure?
    By guarding it according to your word.(A)
10 With my whole heart I seek you;
    do not let me stray from your commandments.(B)
11 I treasure your word in my heart,
    so that I may not sin against you.(C)
12 Blessed are you, O Lord;
    teach me your statutes.(D)
13 With my lips I declare
    all the ordinances of your mouth.(E)
14 I delight in the way of your decrees
    as much as in all riches.
15 I will meditate on your precepts
    and fix my eyes on your ways.(F)
16 I will delight in your statutes;
    I will not forget your word.(G)

Isaiah 43:8-13

Bring forth the people who are blind yet have eyes,
    who are deaf yet have ears!(A)
Let all the nations gather together,
    and let the peoples assemble.
Who among them declared this
    and foretold to us the former things?
Let them bring their witnesses to justify them,
    and let them hear and say, “It is true.”(B)
10 You are my witnesses, says the Lord,
    and my servant whom I have chosen,
so that you may know and believe me
    and understand that I am he.
Before me no god was formed,
    nor shall there be any after me.(C)
11 I, I am the Lord,
    and besides me there is no savior.(D)
12 I am the one who declared and saved and proclaimed,
    not some strange god among you;
    you are my witnesses, says the Lord, and I am God.(E)
13 Indeed, since that day I am he;
    there is no one who can deliver from my hand;
    I work, and who can hinder it?(F)

2 Corinthians 3:4-11

Such is the confidence that we have through Christ toward God. Not that we are qualified of ourselves to claim anything as coming from us; our qualification is from God,(A) who has made us qualified to be ministers of a new covenant, not of letter but of spirit, for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.(B)

Now if the ministry of death, chiseled in letters on stone tablets,[a] came in glory so that the people of Israel could not gaze at Moses’s face because of the glory of his face, a glory now set aside,(C) how much more will the ministry of the Spirit come in glory? For if there was glory in the ministry of condemnation,[b] much more does the ministry of justification abound in glory!(D) 10 Indeed, what once had glory has in this respect lost its glory because of the greater glory, 11 for if what was set aside came through glory, much more has the permanent come in glory!
