Open my eyes, that I may behold
Wonderful things from Your law.

The Lord

opens the eyes of the blind;

The Lord

raises up those who are bowed down;

The Lord

loves the righteous;

On that day the deaf will hear words of a book,
And out of their gloom and darkness the eyes of the blind will see.

Then the eyes of those who see will not be blinded,
And the ears of those who hear will listen.

Then the eyes of the blind will be opened
And the ears of the deaf will be unstopped.

To open blind eyes,
To bring out prisoners from the dungeon
And those who dwell in darkness from the prison.

Bring out the people who are blind, even though they have eyes,
And the deaf, even though they have ears.

“The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me,
Because He anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor.
He has sent Me to proclaim release to the captives,
And recovery of sight to the blind,
To set free those who are oppressed,

And Jesus said, “For judgment I came into this world, so that those who do not see may see, and that those who see may become blind.”

That You may

bring salvation to the end of the earth.’”

Those who live in a dark land,
The light will shine on them.

He says, “It is too small a thing that You should be My Servant
To raise up the tribes of Jacob and to restore the preserved ones of Israel;
I will also make You a light of the nations
So that My salvation may reach to the end of the earth.”

And the glory of the Lord has risen upon you.

“The people who were sitting in darkness saw a great Light,
And those who were sitting in the land and shadow of death,
Upon them a Light dawned.”

“The eye is the lamp of the body; so then if your eye is clear, your whole body will be full of light.

To shine upon those who sit in darkness and the shadow of death,

To guide our feet into the way of peace.”

A Light

of revelation to the Gentiles,

And the glory of Your people Israel.”

In Him was life, and the life was the Light of men.

This is the judgment, that the Light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the Light, for their deeds were evil.

Then Jesus again spoke to them, saying, “I am the Light of the world; he who follows Me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of life.”

While I am in the world, I am the Light of the world.”

But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a

holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;

also we

have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to His purpose who works all things after the counsel of His will,

giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified us to share in the inheritance of the saints in Light.

Listen, my beloved brethren: did not God choose the poor of this world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom which He promised to those who love Him?

To the church of God which is at Corinth, to those who have been sanctified in Christ Jesus, saints by calling, with all who in every place call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, their Lord and ours:

Such were some of you; but you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God.

He saved us, not on the basis of deeds which we have done in righteousness, but according to His mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit,

By this will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

Jude, a bond-servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James,

To those who are the called, beloved in God the Father, and kept for Jesus Christ:

and nothing unclean, and no one who practices abomination and lying, shall ever come into it, but only those whose names are written in the Lamb’s book of life.

Faith

Jesus answered and said to her, “If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, ‘Give Me a drink,’ you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water.”

He who believes in Me, as the Scripture said, ‘From his innermost being will flow rivers of living water.’”

Therefore, having been justified by faith,

we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,

I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me.

This is the only thing I want to find out from you: did you receive the Spirit by the works of the Law, or by

hearing with faith?

For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God;

And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him.
