¹³⁰ The opening of thy words giveth light; It giveth understanding unto the simple.

²³ For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; And reproofs of instruction are the way of life:

⁷ The law of Jehovah is perfect, restoring the soul: The testimony of Jehovah is sure, making wise the simple.

¹⁰⁵ NUN. Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, And light unto my path.

¹⁸ to open their eyes, that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive remission of sins and an inheritance among them that are sanctified by faith in me.

⁶ Seeing it is God, that said, Light shall shine out of darkness, who shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

¹⁹ And we have the word of prophecy `made' more sure; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day-star arise in your hearts:

⁷⁷ To give knowledge of salvation unto his people In the remission of their sins,

⁷⁸ Because of the tender mercy of our God, Whereby the dayspring from on high shall visit us,

⁷⁹ To shine upon them that sit in darkness and the shadow of death; To guide our feet into the way of peace.

²⁰ To the law and to the testimony! if they speak not according to this word, surely there is no morning for them.

¹³ But all things when they are reproved are made manifest by the light: for everything that is made manifest is light.

¹⁴ Wherefore `he' saith, Awake, thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall shine upon thee.

⁴ To give prudence to the simple, To the young man knowledge and discretion:

⁴ Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: As for him that is void of understanding, she saith to him,

⁵ Come, eat ye of my bread, And drink of the wine which I have mingled.

⁶ Leave off, ye simple ones, and live; And walk in the way of understanding.

²² How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? And scoffers delight them in scoffing, And fools hate knowledge?

²³ Turn you at my reproof: Behold, I will pour out my spirit upon you; I will make known my words unto you.

⁴ in whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of the unbelieving, that the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should not dawn `upon them'.

¹⁸ For they that are such serve not our Lord Christ, but their own belly; and by their smooth and fair speech they beguile the hearts of the innocent.

¹⁹ For your obedience is come abroad unto all men. I rejoice therefore over you: but I would have you wise unto that which is good, and simple unto that which is evil.

¹⁵ And that from a babe thou hast known the sacred writings which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

¹⁶ Every scripture inspired of God `is' also profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for instruction which is in righteousness.

¹⁷ That the man of God may be complete, furnished completely unto every good work.
