1-4Thank God because he’s good,because his love never quits.Tell the world, Israel,"His love never quits."And you, clan of Aaron, tell the world,"His love never quits."And you who fear God, join in,"His love never quits."

5-16Pushed to the wall, I called to God;from the wide open spaces, he answered.God’s now at my side and I’m not afraid;who would dare lay a hand on me?God’s my strong champion;I flick off my enemies like flies.Far better to take refuge in Godthan trust in people;Far better to take refuge in Godthan trust in celebrities.Hemmed in by barbarians,in God’s name I rubbed their faces in the dirt;Hemmed in and with no way out,in God’s name I rubbed their faces in the dirt;Like swarming bees, like wild prairie fire, they hemmed me in;in God’s name I rubbed their faces in the dirt.I was right on the cliff-edge, ready to fall,when God grabbed and held me.God’s my strength, he’s also my song,and now he’s my salvation.Hear the shouts, hear the triumph songsin the camp of the saved?"The hand of God has turned the tide!The hand of God is raised in victory!The hand of God has turned the tide!"

21-25Thank you for responding to me;you’ve truly become my salvation!The stone the masons discarded as flawedis now the capstone!This is God’s work.We rub our eyes—we can hardly believe it!This is the very day God acted—let’s celebrate and be festive!Salvation now, God. Salvation now!Oh yes, God—a free and full life!

14But God faced him directly: "Go in this strength that is yours. Save Israel from Midian. Haven’t I just sent you?"

23But God reassured him, "Easy now. Don’t panic. You won’t die."

40God made it happen that very night. Only the fleece was dry while the ground was wet with dew.* * *

23-25"But even then an angel could come,a champion—there are thousands of them!—to take up your cause,A messenger who would mercifully intervene,canceling the death sentence with the words:‘I’ve come up with the ransom!’Before you know it, you’re healed,the very picture of health!

26-28"Or, you may fall on your knees and pray—to God’s delight!You’ll see God’s smile and celebrate,finding yourself set right with God.You’ll sing God’s praises to everyone you meet,testifying, ‘I messed up my life—and let me tell you, it wasn’t worth it.But God stepped in and saved me from certain death.I’m alive again! Once more I see the light!’

29,30"This is the way God works.Over and over againHe pulls our souls back from certain destructionso we’ll see the light—and live in the light!

2"Keep my Sabbaths; treat my Sanctuary with reverence. I am God.

11-13"I’ll set up my residence in your neighborhood; I won’t avoid or shun you; I’ll stroll through your streets. I’ll be your God; you’ll be my people. I am God, your personal God who rescued you from Egypt so that you would no longer be slaves to the Egyptians. I ripped off the harness of your slavery so that you can move about freely.

43-45"The land will be empty of them and enjoy its Sabbaths while they’re gone. They’ll pay for their sins because they refused my laws and treated my decrees with contempt. But in spite of their behavior, while they are among their enemies I won’t reject or abhor or destroy them completely. I won’t break my covenant with them: I am God, their God. For their sake I will remember the covenant with their ancestors whom I, with all the nations watching, brought out of Egypt in order to be their God. I am God."

4I sing to God the Praise-Lofty,and find myself safe and saved.

17-20But me he caught—reached all the wayfrom sky to sea; he pulled me outOf that ocean of hate, that enemy chaos,the void in which I was drowning.They hit me when I was down,but God stuck by me.He stood me up on a wide-open field;I stood there saved—surprised to be loved!

32-46… You protect me with salvation-armor; …

47-51Live, God! Blessing to my Rock,my towering Salvation-God!This God set things right for meand shut up the people who talked back.He rescued me from enemy anger.You pulled me from the grip of upstarts,You saved me from the bullies.That’s why I’m thanking you, God,all over the world.That’s why I’m singing songsthat rhyme your name.God’s king takes the trophy;God’s chosen is beloved.I mean David and all his children—always.

7,8A woman, a Samaritan, came to draw water. Jesus said, "Would you give me a drink of water?" (His disciples had gone to the village to buy food for lunch.)

21-23… of day. God’s way of salvation is made available through the …

39-42Many of the Samaritans from that village committed themselves to him because of the woman’s witness: "He knew all about the things I did. He knows me inside and out!" They asked him to stay on, so Jesus stayed two days. A lot more people entrusted their lives to him when they heard what he had to say. They said to the woman, "We’re no longer taking this on your say-so. We’ve heard it for ourselves and know it for sure. He’s the Savior of the world!"* * *

50,51Jesus simply replied, "Go home. Your son lives."The man believed the bare word Jesus spoke and headed home. On his way back, his servants intercepted him and announced, "Your son lives!"

6-10You’ve been raised on the Message of the faith and have followed sound teaching. Now pass on this counsel to the followers of Jesus there, and you’ll be a good servant of Jesus. Stay clear of silly stories that get dressed up as religion. Exercise daily in God—no spiritual flabbiness, please! Workouts in the gymnasium are useful, but a disciplined life in God is far more so, making you fit both today and forever. You can count on this. Take it to heart. This is why we’ve thrown ourselves into this venture so totally. We’re banking on the living God, Savior of all men and women, especially believers.

11-14Get the word out. Teach all these things. And don’t let anyone put you down because you’re young. Teach believers with your life: by word, by demeanor, by love, by faith, by integrity. Stay at your post reading Scripture, giving counsel, teaching. And that special gift of ministry you were given when the leaders of the church laid hands on you and prayed—keep that dusted off and in use.

15,16Cultivate these things. Immerse yourself in them. The people will all see you mature right before their eyes! Keep a firm grasp on both your character and your teaching. Don’t be diverted. Just keep at it. Both you and those who hear you will experience salvation.

4,5Satan answered, "A human would do anything to save his life. But what do you think would happen if you reached down and took away his health? He’d curse you to your face, that’s what."

6God said, "All right. Go ahead—you can do what you like with him. But mind you, don’t kill him."

9His wife said, "Still holding on to your precious integrity, are you? Curse God and be done with it!"

12,13What I’m getting at, friends, is that you should simply keep on doing what you’ve done from the beginning. When I was living among you, you lived in responsive obedience. Now that I’m separated from you, keep it up. Better yet, redouble your efforts. Be energetic in your life of salvation, reverent and sensitive before God. That energy is God’s energy, an energy deep within you, God himself willing and working at what will give him the most pleasure.

14-16Do everything readily and cheerfully—no bickering, no second-guessing allowed! Go out into the world uncorrupted, a breath of fresh air in this squalid and polluted society. Provide people with a glimpse of good living and of the living God. Carry the light-giving Message into the night so I’ll have good cause to be proud of you on the day that Christ returns. You’ll be living proof that I didn’t go to all this work for nothing.

28-30So you can see why I’m so delighted to send him on to you. When you see him again, strong and strapping, how you’ll rejoice and how relieved I’ll be. Give him a grand welcome, a joyful embrace! People like him deserve the best you can give. Remember the ministry to me that you started but weren’t able to complete? Well, in the process of finishing up that work, he put his life on the line and nearly died doing it.

17O God, God of Israel, let this all happen—confirm and establish it!

36-39When they sin against you—and they certainly will; there’s no one without sin!—and in anger you turn them over to the enemy and they are taken captive to the enemy’s land, whether far or near, but repent in the country of their captivity and pray with changed hearts in their exile, "We’ve sinned; we’ve done wrong; we’ve been most wicked," and turn back to you heart and soul in the land of the enemy who conquered them, and pray to you toward their homeland, the land you gave their ancestors, toward the city you chose, and this Temple I have built to the honor of your Name,Listen from your home in heavento their prayers desperate and devout;Do what is best for them.Forgive your people who have sinned against you.

41,42Up, God, enjoy your new place of quiet repose,you and your mighty covenant Chest;Dress your priests up in salvation clothes,let your holy people celebrate goodness.And don’t, God, back out on your anointed ones,keep in mind the love promised to David your servant.

6-8Jesus—the Divine Christ! He experienced a life-giving birth and a death-killing death. Not only birth from the womb, but baptismal birth of his ministry and sacrificial death. And all the while the Spirit is confirming the truth, the reality of God’s presence at Jesus’ baptism and crucifixion, bringing those occasions alive for us. A triple testimony: the Spirit, the Baptism, the Crucifixion. And the three in perfect agreement.

11,12This is the testimony in essence: God gave us eternal life; the life is in his Son. So, whoever has the Son, has life; whoever rejects the Son, rejects life.

16,17For instance, if we see a Christian believer sinning (clearly I’m not talking about those who make a practice of sin in a way that is "fatal," leading to eternal death), we ask for God’s help and he gladly gives it, gives life to the sinner whose sin is not fatal. There is such a thing as a fatal sin, and I’m not urging you to pray about that. Everything we do wrong is sin, but not all sin is fatal.

9Better to have been killed in battlethan killed by starvation.Better to have died of battle woundsthan to slowly starve to death.

18They tracked us down, those hunters.It wasn’t safe to go out in the street.Our end was near, our days numbered.We were doomed.

20Our king, our life’s breath, the anointed of God,was caught in their traps—Our king under whose protectionwe always said we’d live.

1Who believes what we’ve heard and seen?Who would have thought God’s saving power would look like this?

2-6The servant grew up before God—a scrawny seedling,a scrubby plant in a parched field.There was nothing attractive about him,nothing to cause us to take a second look.He was looked down on and passed over,a man who suffered, who knew pain firsthand.One look at him and people turned away.We looked down on him, thought he was scum.But the fact is, it was our pains he carried—our disfigurements, all the things wrong with us.We thought he brought it on himself,that God was punishing him for his own failures.But it was our sins that did that to him,that ripped and tore and crushed him—our sins!He took the punishment, and that made us whole.Through his bruises we get healed.We’re all like sheep who’ve wandered off and gotten lost.We’ve all done our own thing, gone our own way.And God has piled all our sins, everything we’ve done wrong,on him, on him.

11,12Out of that terrible travail of soul,he’ll see that it’s worth it and be glad he did it.Through what he experienced, my righteous one, my servant,will make many "righteous ones,"as he himself carries the burden of their sins.Therefore I’ll reward him extravagantly—the best of everything, the highest honors—Because he looked death in the face and didn’t flinch,because he embraced the company of the lowest.He took on his own shoulders the sin of the many,he took up the cause of all the black sheep.

6-8You take over. I’m about to die, my life an offering on God’s altar. This is the only race worth running. I’ve run hard right to the finish, believed all the way. All that’s left now is the shouting—God’s applause! Depend on it, he’s an honest judge. He’ll do right not only by me, but by everyone eager for his coming.* * *

16-18At my preliminary hearing no one stood by me. They all ran like scared rabbits. But it doesn’t matter—the Master stood by me and helped me spread the Message loud and clear to those who had never heard it. I was snatched from the jaws of the lion! God’s looking after me, keeping me safe in the kingdom of heaven. All praise to him, praise forever! Oh, yes!

22God be with you. Grace be with you.

9,10Coming down the mountain, Jesus swore them to secrecy. "Don’t tell a soul what you saw. After the Son of Man rises from the dead, you’re free to talk." They puzzled over that, wondering what on earth "rising from the dead" meant.

43-48"If your hand or your foot gets in God’s way, chop it off and throw it away. You’re better off maimed or lame and alive than the proud owner of two hands and two feet, godless in a furnace of eternal fire. And if your eye distracts you from God, pull it out and throw it away. You’re better off one-eyed and alive than exercising your twenty-twenty vision from inside the fire of hell.

49,50"Everyone’s going through a refining fire sooner or later, but you’ll be well-preserved, protected from the eternal flames. Be preservatives yourselves. Preserve the peace."

2"This is God’s Message: ‘Whoever stays in this town will die—will be killed or starve to death or get sick and die. But those who go over to the Babylonians will save their necks and live.’

3"And, God’s sure Word: ‘This city is destined to fall to the army of the king of Babylon. He’s going to take it over.’"

23"They’ll take all your wives and children and give them to the Chaldeans. And you, don’t think you’ll get out of this—the king of Babylon will seize you and then burn this city to the ground."

9,10"The kings of the earth will see the smoke of her burning, and they’ll cry and carry on, the kings who went night after night to her brothel. They’ll keep their distance for fear they’ll get burned, and they’ll cry their lament:Doom, doom, the great city doomed!City of Babylon, strong city!In one hour it’s over, your judgment come!

20"O Heaven, celebrate! And join in, saints, apostles, and prophets! God has judged her; every wrong you suffered from her has been judged."

21-24A strong Angel reached for a boulder—huge, like a millstone—and heaved it into the sea, saying,Heaved and sunk, the great city Babylon,sunk in the sea, not a sign of her ever again.Silent the music of harpists and singers—you’ll never hear flutes and trumpets again.Artisans of every kind—gone;you’ll never see their likes again.The voice of a millstone grinding falls dumb;you’ll never hear that sound again.The light from lamps, never again;never again laughter of bride and groom.Her traders robbed the whole earth blind,and by black-magic arts deceived the nations.The only thing left of Babylon is blood—the blood of saints and prophets,the murdered and the martyred.

3-8And Saul just went wild, devastating the church, entering house after house after house, dragging men and women off to jail. Forced to leave home base, the followers of Jesus all became missionaries. Wherever they were scattered, they preached the Message about Jesus. Going down to a Samaritan city, Philip proclaimed the Message of the Messiah. When the people heard what he had to say and saw the miracles, the clear signs of God’s action, they hung on his every word. Many who could neither stand nor walk were healed that day. The evil spirits protested loudly as they were sent on their way. And what joy in the city!

18,19When Simon saw that the apostles by merely laying on hands conferred the Spirit, he pulled out his money, excited, and said, "Sell me your secret! Show me how you did that! How much do you want? Name your price!"

25And with that, the apostles were on their way, continuing to witness and spread the Message of God’s salvation, preaching in every Samaritan town they passed through on their return to Jerusalem.

16Simon Peter said, "You’re the Christ, the Messiah, the Son of the living God."

23But Jesus didn’t swerve. "Peter, get out of my way. Satan, get lost. You have no idea how God works."

24-26Then Jesus went to work on his disciples. "Anyone who intends to come with me has to let me lead. You’re not in the driver’s seat; I am. Don’t run from suffering; embrace it. Follow me and I’ll show you how. Self-help is no help at all. Self-sacrifice is the way, my way, to finding yourself, your true self. What kind of deal is it to get everything you want but lose yourself? What could you ever trade your soul for?

41-48Let your love, God, shape my lifewith salvation, exactly as you promised;Then I’ll be able to stand up to mockerybecause I trusted your Word.Don’t ever deprive me of truth, not ever—your commandments are what I depend on.Oh, I’ll guard with my life what you’ve revealed to me,guard it now, guard it ever;And I’ll stride freely through wide open spacesas I look for your truth and your wisdom;Then I’ll tell the world what I find,speak out boldly in public, unembarrassed.I cherish your commandments—oh, how I love them!—relishing every fragment of your counsel.* * *

81-88I’m homesick—longing for your salvation;I’m waiting for your word of hope.My eyes grow heavy watching for some sign of your promise;how long must I wait for your comfort?There’s smoke in my eyes—they burn and water,but I keep a steady gaze on the instructions you post.How long do I have to put up with all this?How long till you haul my tormentors into court?The arrogant godless try to throw me off track,ignorant as they are of God and his ways.Everything you command is a sure thing,but they harass me with lies. Help!They’ve pushed and pushed—they never let up—but I haven’t relaxed my grip on your counsel.In your great love revive meso I can alertly obey your every word.* * *

153-160Take a good look at my trouble, and help me—I haven’t forgotten your revelation.Take my side and get me out of this;give me back my life, just as you promised."Salvation" is only gibberish to the wickedbecause they’ve never looked it up in your dictionary.Your mercies, God, run into the billions;following your guidelines, revive me.My antagonists are too many to count,but I don’t swerve from the directions you gave.I took one look at the quitters and was filled with loathing;they walked away from your promises so casually!Take note of how I love what you tell me;out of your life of love, prolong my life.Your words all add up to the sum total: Truth.Your righteous decisions are eternal.* * *

169-176… , for your salvation; …
