Jesus replied to the crowd, "The light is among you only for a short time. Walk while you have the light, so that the darkness may not overtake you. The person who walks in the darkness is in the darkness and does not know where he is going.

But if anyone walks at night he stumbles, because the light is not in him."

The glory of God was its radiance, and its light was like a valuable gem, like jasper, as clear as crystal.

for the light is making everything visible. That is why it says, "Wake up, sleeper! Arise from the dead, and the Messiah will shine on you.''

On the other hand, I am writing to you a new commandment that is truly in him and in you. For the darkness is fading away, and the true light is already shining.

They had come to hear him and to be healed of their diseases. Even those who were being tormented by unclean spirits were being healed.

When he saw one of them being mistreated, he defended him and avenged the man who was being mistreated by killing the Egyptian.

Now, did something good bring me death? Of course not! But in order that sin might be recognized as being sin, it used something good to cause my death, so that through the rule, sin might become more exposed as being sinful than ever before.

For the message about the cross is nonsense to those who are being destroyed, but it is God's power to us who are being saved.

And you are being arrogant instead of being filled with grief and seeing to it that the man who did this is removed from among you.

yet for us there is only one God, the Father, from whom everything came into being and for whom we live. And there is only one Lord, Jesus the Messiah, through whom everything came into being and through whom we live.

Now, while we are being judged by the Lord, we are being disciplined so we won't be condemned along with the world.

Otherwise, what will those people do who are being baptized because of those who have died? If the dead are not raised at all, why are they being baptized because of them?

To God we are the aroma of the Messiah among those who are being saved and among those who are being lost.

Keep on being obedient to the word, and not merely being hearers who deceive themselves.

Being bold and arrogant, they are not afraid to slander glorious beings. Yet even angels, although they are greater in strength and power, do not bring a slanderous accusation against them from the Lord.

As long as you have the light, believe in the light, so that you may become children of light." After Jesus had said this, he went away and hid from them.

Now if your whole body is full of light, with no part of it in darkness, it will be as full of light as when a lamp gives you light with its rays."
