Who among you fears the Lord? Who obeys his servant? Whoever walks in deep darkness, without light, should trust in the name of the Lord and rely on his God.

You must actively help the hungry and feed the oppressed. Then your light will dispel the darkness, and your darkness will be transformed into noonday.

My enemies, do not gloat over me! Though I have fallen, I will get up. Though I sit in darkness, the Lord will be my light.

But for you who respect my name, the sun of vindication will rise with healing wings, and you will skip about like calves released from the stall.

I have come as a light into the world, so that everyone who believes in me should not remain in darkness.

He is gracious

Praise the Lord! Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, and his loyal love endures!

Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.

I am not saying this as a command, but I am testing the genuineness of your love by comparison with the eagerness of others.

Instead, be kind to one another, compassionate, forgiving one another, just as God in Christ also forgave you.

Therefore, be imitators of God as dearly loved children

Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with a heart of mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience,

Righteous

For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all people.

If you know that he is righteous, you also know that everyone who practices righteousness has been fathered by him.

Little children, let no one deceive you: The one who practices righteousness is righteous, just as Jesus is righteous.
