²³ Whoever makes an offering of praise gives glory to me; and to him who is upright in his ways I will make clear the salvation of God.

¹⁶ With long life will he be rewarded; and I will let him see my salvation.

¹³ Who has wisdom and good sense among you? let him make his works clear by a life of gentle wisdom.

⁴ He who has clean hands and a true heart; whose desire has not gone out to foolish things, who has not taken a false oath.

⁵ He will have blessing from the Lord, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.

¹⁴ The secret of the Lord is with those in whose hearts is the fear of him; he will make his agreement clear to them.

¹⁷ If any man is ready to do God's pleasure he will have knowledge of the teaching and of where it comes from--from God or from myself.

³¹ Then Jesus said to the Jews who had faith in him, If you keep my word, then you are truly my disciples;

³² And you will have knowledge of what is true, and that will make you free.

² A serious-minded man, fearing God with all his family; he gave much money to the poor, and made prayer to God at all times.

³ He saw in a vision, clearly, at about the ninth hour of the day, an angel of the Lord coming to him and saying to him, Cornelius!

⁴ And he, looking on him in fear, said, What is it, Lord? And he said to him, Your prayers and your offerings have come up to God, and he has kept them in mind.

¹⁴ Who will say words to you through which you and all your family may get salvation.

²⁶ My brothers, children of the family of Abraham, and those among you who have the fear of God, to us the word of this salvation is sent.

²⁷ Only let your behaviour do credit to the good news of Christ, so that if I come and see you or if I am away from you, I may have news of you that you are strong in one spirit, working together with one soul for the faith of the good news;

⁹ But you are a special people, a holy nation, priests and kings, a people given up completely to God, so that you may make clear the virtues of him who took you out of the dark into the light of heaven.

¹⁵ But be holy in every detail of your lives, as he, whose servants you are, is holy;

¹⁶ And on all who are guided by this rule be peace and mercy, and on the Israel of God.

²⁴ And they gave glory to God in me.

⁹ And so that the Gentiles might give glory to God for his mercy; as it is said, For this reason I will give praise to you among the Gentiles, and I will make a song to your name.

⁶ So that with one mouth you may give glory to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

⁶ And now my head will be lifted up higher than my haters who are round me: because of this I will make offerings of joy in his tent; I will make a song, truly I will make a song of praise to the Lord.

¹⁴ Make an offering of praise to God; keep the agreements which you have made with the Most High;

¹⁵ Let your voice come up to me in the day of trouble; I will be your saviour, so that you may give glory to me.

⁹ Truly, his salvation is near to his worshippers; so that glory may be in our land.

¹³ Righteousness will go before him, making a way for his footsteps.

⁹ Let all the nations whom you have made come and give worship to you, O Lord, giving glory to your name.

¹² I will give you praise, O Lord my God, with all my heart; I will give glory to your name for ever.

² See, God is my salvation; I will have faith in the Lord, without fear: for the Lord Jah is my strength and song; and he has become my salvation.

¹⁷ But the Lord will make Israel free with an eternal salvation: you will not be put to shame or made low for ever and ever.

⁶ It is not enough for one who is my servant to put the tribes of Jacob again in their place, and to get back those of Israel who have been sent away: my purpose is to give you as a light to the nations, so that you may be my salvation to the end of the earth.

⁵ Suddenly will my righteousness come near, and my salvation will be shining out like the light; the sea-lands will be waiting for me, and they will put their hope in my strong arm.

⁶ Let your eyes be lifted up to the heavens, and turned to the earth which is under them: for the heavens will go in flight like smoke, and the earth will become old like a coat, and its people will come to destruction like insects: but my salvation will be for ever, and my righteousness will not come to an end.

³⁰ For my eyes have seen your salvation,

¹ For this reason I make request to you, brothers, by the mercies of God, that you will give your bodies as a living offering, holy, pleasing to God, which is the worship it is right for you to give him.

²³ You who have fear of the Lord, give him praise; all you seed of Jacob, give him glory; go in fear of him, all you seed of Israel.
