¹¹ Light is shining on the lovers of righteousness, and for the upright in heart there is joy.

¹⁸ But the way of the upright is like the light of early morning, getting brighter and brighter till the full day.

⁴ For the upright there is a light shining in the dark; he is full of grace and pity.

²⁸ Your purposes will come about, and light will be shining on your ways.

⁸ Because he who puts in the seed of the flesh will of the flesh get the reward of death; but he who puts in the seed of the Spirit will of the Spirit get the reward of eternal life.

¹ Up! let your face be bright, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord is shining on you.

² For truly, the earth will be dark, and the peoples veiled in blackest night; but the Lord will be shining on you, and his glory will be seen among you.

⁵ Those who put in seed with weeping will get in the grain with cries of joy.

⁶ Though a man may go out weeping, taking his vessel of seed with him; he will come again in joy, with the corded stems of grain in his arms.

²⁸ You, O Lord, will be my light; by you, my God, the dark will be made bright for me.

¹⁶ And the Jews had light and joy and honour.

⁵ And there will be no more night; and they have no need of a light or of the shining of the sun; for the Lord God will give them light: and they will be ruling for ever and ever.

²³ And the town has no need of the sun, or of the moon, to give it light: for the glory of God did make it light, and the light of it is the Lamb.

⁷ Go on waiting calmly, my brothers, till the coming of the Lord, like the farmer waiting for the good fruit of the earth till the early and late rains have come.

⁸ Be as calm in your waiting; let your hearts be strong: because the coming of the Lord is near.

⁹ Say no hard things against one another, brothers, so that you will not be judged; see, the judge is waiting at the doors.

¹⁰ Take as an example of pain nobly undergone and of strength in trouble, the prophets who gave to men the words of the Lord.

¹¹ We say that those men who have gone through pain are happy: you have the story of Job and the troubles through which he went and have seen that the Lord was full of pity and mercy in the end.

⁴⁶ I have come as a light into the world, so that no one who has faith in me will go on living in the dark.

⁹ I will undergo the wrath of the Lord, because of my sin against him; till he takes up my cause and does what is right for me: when he makes me come out into the light, I will see his righteousness;

¹ Because of Zion I will not keep quiet, and because of Jerusalem I will take no rest, till her righteousness goes out like the shining of the sun, and her salvation like a burning light.
