"'If they confess their iniquity, and the iniquity of their fathers, in their trespass which they trespassed against me, and also that, because they walked contrary to me,

I also walked contrary to them, and brought them into the land of their enemies: if then their uncircumcised heart is humbled, and they then accept the punishment of their iniquity;

Serve Yahweh with fear, and rejoice with trembling.

Answer me when I call, God of my righteousness. Give me relief from my distress. Have mercy on me, and hear my prayer.

Help, Yahweh; for the godly man ceases. For the faithful fail from among the children of men.

For I will declare my iniquity. I will be sorry for my sin.

"Hear my prayer, Yahweh, and give ear to my cry. Don't be silent at my tears. For I am a stranger with you, a foreigner, as all my fathers were.

Help me, Yahweh, my God. Save me according to your loving kindness;

I love Yahweh, because he listens to my voice, and my cries for mercy.

Then I called on the name of Yahweh: "Yahweh, I beg you, deliver my soul."

Yahweh, don't I hate those who hate you? Am I not grieved with those who rise up against you?

Deliver me, Yahweh, from the evil man. Preserve me from the violent man;

I said to Yahweh, "You are my God." Listen to the cry of my petitions, Yahweh.

I cry with my voice to Yahweh. With my voice, I ask Yahweh for mercy.

I pour out my complaint before him. I tell him my troubles.

When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, you knew my path. In the way in which I walk, they have hidden a snare for me.

I cried to you, Yahweh. I said, "You are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living."

Listen to my cry, for I am in desperate need. deliver me from my persecutors, For they are stronger than me.

Hear my prayer, Yahweh. Listen to my petitions. In your faithfulness and righteousness, relieve me.

But let justice roll on like rivers, and righteousness like a mighty stream.

"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.

They asked him, "Why then do you baptize, if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the prophet?"

John answered them, "I baptize in water, but among you stands one whom you don't know.

These things were done in Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.

I didn't know him, but for this reason I came baptizing in water: that he would be revealed to Israel."

I didn't recognize him, but he who sent me to baptize in water, he said to me, 'On whomever you will see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he who baptizes in the Holy Spirit.'

Jesus answered, "Most certainly I tell you, unless one is born of water and spirit, he can't enter into the Kingdom of God!

After these things, Jesus came with his disciples into the land of Judea. He stayed there with them, and baptized.

John also was baptizing in Enon near Salim, because there was much water there. They came, and were baptized.

Therefore when the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than John

(although Jesus himself didn't baptize, but his disciples),

but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never thirst again; but the water that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life."

He who believes in me, as the Scripture has said, from within him will flow rivers of living water."

and said to him, "Go, wash in the pool of Siloam" (which means "Sent"). So he went away, washed, and came back seeing.

He answered, "A man called Jesus made mud, anointed my eyes, and said to me, 'Go to the pool of Siloam, and wash.' So I went away and washed, and I received sight."

But when Jesus heard it, he said, "This sickness is not to death, but for the glory of God, that God's Son may be glorified by it."

When Jesus had said this, he was troubled in spirit, and testified, "Most certainly I tell you that one of you will betray me."

He who has seen has testified, and his testimony is true. He knows that he tells the truth, that you may believe.

you yourselves know what happened, which was proclaimed throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached;

"Can any man forbid the water, that these who have received the Holy Spirit as well as we should not be baptized?"

He commanded them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked him to stay some days.

Now why do you wait? Arise, be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on the name of the Lord.'

But if we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation. If we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which produces in you the patient enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer.

Our hope for you is steadfast, knowing that, since you are partakers of the sufferings, so also are you of the comfort.

Yes, we ourselves have had the sentence of death within ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God who raises the dead,

Now he who establishes us with you in Christ, and anointed us, is God;

For most certainly in this we groan, longing to be clothed with our habitation which is from heaven;

For indeed we who are in this tent do groan, being burdened; not that we desire to be unclothed, but that we desire to be clothed, that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life.

how that in much proof of affliction the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded to the riches of their liberality.

He has said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Most gladly therefore I will rather glory in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest on me.

Therefore I take pleasure in weaknesses, in injuries, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ's sake. For when I am weak, then am I strong.

For I know that this will turn out to my salvation, through your supplication and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,

Because it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ, not only to believe in him, but also to suffer on his behalf,

You became imitators of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Spirit,

But we see him who has been made a little lower than the angels, Jesus, because of the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, that by the grace of God he should taste of death for everyone.

For it became him, for whom are all things, and through whom are all things, in bringing many children to glory, to make the author of their salvation perfect through sufferings.

But in those sacrifices there is a yearly reminder of sins.
