¹³⁰ The opening of your words gives light; it gives good sense to the simple.

²³ For the rule is a light, and the teaching a shining light; and the guiding words of training are the way of life.

⁷ The law of the Lord is good, giving new life to the soul: the witness of the Lord is certain, giving wisdom to the foolish.

¹⁰⁵ <NUN> Your word is a light for my feet, ever shining on my way.

¹⁸ To make their eyes open, turning them from the dark to the light, and from the power of Satan to God, so that they may have forgiveness of sins and a heritage among those who are made holy by faith in me.

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.

¹⁹ And so the words of the prophets are made more certain; and it is well for you to give attention to them as to a light shining in a dark place, till the dawn comes and the morning star is seen in your hearts;

⁷⁷ To give knowledge of salvation to his people, through the forgiveness of sins,

⁷⁸ Because of the loving mercies of our God, by which the dawn from heaven has come to us,

⁷⁹ To give light to those in dark places, and in the shade of death, so that our feet may be guided into the way of peace.

²⁰ Then say to them, Put your faith in the teaching and the witness. ... If they do not say such things. ... For him there is no dawn. ...

⁴ Whoever is simple, let him come in here; and to him who has no sense, she says:

⁵ Come, take of my bread, and of my wine which is mixed.

⁶ Give up the simple ones and have life, and go in the way of knowledge.

²² How long, you simple ones, will foolish things be dear to you? and pride a delight to the haters of authority? how long will the foolish go on hating knowledge?

²³ Be turned again by my sharp words: see, I will send the flow of my spirit on you, and make my words clear to you.

⁴ Because the god of this world has made blind the minds of those who have not faith, so that the light of the good news of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, might not be shining on them.

¹⁸ For such people are not servants of the Lord Christ, but of their stomachs; and by their smooth and well-said words the hearts of those who have no knowledge of evil are tricked.

¹⁹ For all have knowledge of how you do what you are ordered. For this reason I have joy in you, but it is my desire that you may be wise in what is good, and without knowledge of evil.

¹⁵ And that from the time when you were a child, you have had knowledge of the holy Writings, which are able to make you wise to salvation, through faith in Christ Jesus.

¹⁶ Every holy Writing which comes from God is of profit for teaching, for training, for guiding, for education in righteousness:

¹⁷ So that the man of God may be complete, trained and made ready for every good work.
