²⁴ But if any man has pride, let it be in this, that he has the wisdom to have knowledge of me, that I am the Lord, working mercy, giving true decisions, and doing righteousness in the earth: for in these things I have delight, says the Lord.

¹⁷ But whoever has a desire for glory, let his glory be in the Lord.

³¹ So that, as it is said in the holy Writings, Whoever has a desire for glory, let his glory be in the Lord.

¹⁸ Who is a God like you, offering forgiveness for evil-doing and overlooking the sins of the rest of his heritage? he does not keep his wrath for ever, because his delight is in mercy.

¹⁴ But far be it from me to have glory in anything, but only in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which this world has come to an end on the cross for me, and I for it.

⁵ Your mercy, O Lord, is in the heavens, and your strong purpose is as high as the clouds.

⁶ Your righteousness is like the mountains of God; your judging is like the great deep; O Lord, you give life to man and beast.

⁷ How good is your loving mercy, O God! the children of men take cover under the shade of your wings.

⁸ Our pride is in God at all times, to his name we give praise for ever. (Selah.)

¹ <To the chief music-maker. A Psalm. Of David. When Nathan the prophet came to him, after he had gone in to Bath-sheba.> Have pity on me, O God, in your mercy; out of a full heart, take away my sin.

²⁰ And we are certain that the Son of God has come, and has given us a clear vision, so that we may see him who is true, and we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life.

³ And this is eternal life: to have knowledge of you, the only true God, and of him whom you have sent, even Jesus Christ.

⁸ He has made clear to you, O man, what is good; and what is desired from you by the Lord; only doing what is right, and loving mercy, and walking without pride before your God.

⁸ For I, the Lord, take pleasure in upright judging; I will not put up with the violent taking away of right; and I will certainly give them their reward, and I will make an eternal agreement with them.

¹⁶ You will send the wind over them, and it will take them away; they will go in all directions before the storm-wind: you will have joy in the Lord, and be glad in the Holy One of Israel.

⁷ Who gives their rights to those who are crushed down; and gives food to those who are in need of it: the Lord makes the prisoners free;

⁸ The Lord makes open the eyes of the blind; the Lord is the lifter up of those who are bent down; the Lord is a lover of the upright;

⁹ The Lord takes care of those who are in a strange land; he gives help to the widow and to the child who has no father; but he sends destruction on the way of sinners.

⁷ Their sayings will be full of the memory of all your mercy, and they will make songs of your righteousness.

⁸ The Lord is full of grace and pity; not quickly angry, but great in mercy.

³ For we are the circumcision, who give worship to God and have glory in Jesus Christ, and have no faith in the flesh:

⁵ And the Lord came down in the cloud and took his place by the side of Moses, and Moses gave worship to the name of the Lord.

⁶ And the Lord went past before his eyes, saying, The Lord, the Lord, a God full of pity and grace, slow to wrath and great in mercy and faith;

⁷ Having mercy on thousands, overlooking evil and wrongdoing and sin; he will not let wrongdoers go free, but will send punishment on children for the sins of their fathers, and on their children's children to the third and fourth generation.

²² And Samuel said, Has the Lord as much delight in offerings and burned offerings as in the doing of his orders? Truly, to do his pleasure is better than to make offerings, and to give ear to him than the fat of sheep.

¹⁴ Because he has given me his love, I will take him out of danger: I will put him in a place of honour, because he has kept my name in his heart.

⁴ The king's power is used for righteousness; you give true decisions, judging rightly in the land of Jacob.

²⁵ In the Lord will all the seed of Israel get their rights, and they will give glory to him.

² And you will take your oath, By the living Lord, in good faith and wisdom and righteousness; and the nations will make use of you as a blessing, and in you will they take a pride.

³³ But this is the agreement which I will make with the people of Israel after those days, says the Lord; I will put my law in their inner parts, writing it in their hearts; and I will be their God, and they will be my people.

³⁴ And no longer will they be teaching every man his neighbour and every man his brother, saying, Get knowledge of the Lord: for they will all have knowledge of me, from the least of them to the greatest of them, says the Lord: for they will have my forgiveness for their evil-doing, and their sin will go from my memory for ever.

²⁷ All things have been given to me by my Father; and no one has knowledge of the Son, but the Father; and no one has knowledge of the Father, but the Son, and he to whom the Son will make it clear.

²² All things have been given to me by my Father: and no one has knowledge of the Son, but only the Father: and of the Father, but only the Son, and he to whom the Son will make it clear.

²⁵ Whom God has put forward as the sign of his mercy, through faith, by his blood, to make clear his righteousness when, in his pity, God let the sins of earlier times go without punishment;

²⁶ And to make clear his righteousness now, so that he might himself be upright, and give righteousness to him who has faith in Jesus.

⁶ Seeing that it is God who said, Let light be shining out of the dark, who has put in our hearts the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

¹¹ And not only so, but we have joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we are now at peace with God.
