⁴⁵ And I shall walk at liberty; For I have sought thy precepts.

¹² When thou goest, thy steps shall not be straitened; And if thou runnest, thou shalt not stumble.

⁹⁴ I am thine, save me; For I have sought thy precepts.

¹⁹ promising them liberty, while they themselves are bondservants of corruption; for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he also brought into bondage.

²⁵ But he that looketh into the perfect law, the `law' of liberty, and `so' continueth, being not a hearer that forgetteth but a doer that worketh, this man shall be blessed in his doing.

³⁰ As he spake these things, many believed on him.

³¹ Jesus therefore said to those Jews that had believed him, If ye abide in my word, `then' are ye truly my disciples;

³² and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

³³ They answered unto him, We are Abraham's seed, and have never yet been in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?

³⁴ Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Every one that committeth sin is the bondservant of sin.

³⁵ And the bondservant abideth not in the house for ever: the son abideth for ever.

³⁶ If therefore the Son shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.

³⁹ Ye search the scriptures, because ye think that in them ye have eternal life; and these are they which bear witness of me;

¹³³ Establish my footsteps in thy word; And let not any iniquity have dominion over me.

¹² So speak ye, and so do, as men that are to be judged by a law of liberty.

¹⁷ Wherefore be ye not foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.

¹³ And I applied my heart to seek and to search out by wisdom concerning all that is done under heaven: it is a sore travail that God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised therewith.

¹ He that separateth himself seeketh `his own' desire, And rageth against all sound wisdom.

⁴ If thou seek her as silver, And search for her as for hid treasures:

⁵ Then shalt thou understand the fear of Jehovah, And find the knowledge of God.

¹⁶² I rejoice at thy word, As one that findeth great spoil.

¹⁴⁸ Mine eyes anticipated the night-watches, That I might meditate on thy word.

¹⁹ I am a sojourner in the earth: Hide not thy commandments from me.

¹⁸ The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, Because he anointed me to preach good tidings to the poor: He hath sent me to proclaim release to the captives, And recovering of sight to the blind, To set at liberty them that are bruised,

⁷¹ It is good for me that I have been afflicted; That I may learn thy statutes.
