21:4And they marched from mount Hor, by the way that leadeth to the Red Sea, to compass the land of Edom. And the people began to be weary of their journey and work:

5And speaking against God end Moses, they said: Why did you bring us out of Egypt, to die in the wilderness? There is no bread, nor have we any waters: our soul now loatheth this very light food.

6Therefore the Lord sent among the people fiery serpents, which bit them and killed many of them.

7Upon which they came to Moses, and said: We have sinned, because we have said against the Lord and you: pray that he may take away these serpents from us. And Moses prayed for the people.

8And the Lord said to him: Make brazen serpent, and set it up for a sign: whoever being struck shall look on it, shall live.

9Moses therefore made a brazen serpent, and set it up for a sign: which when those who were bitten looked upon, they were healed.

78:1Understanding for Asaph. Attend, O my people, to my law: incline your ears to the words of my mouth.

2I will open my mouth in parables: I will utter propositions from the start.

34When he slew them, then they sought him: and they returned, and came to him early in the morning.

35And they remembered that God was their helper: and the most high God their redeemer.

36And they loved him with their mouth: and with their tongue they lied to him:

37But their heart was not right with him: nor were they counted faithful in his covenant.

38But he is merciful, and will forgive their sins: and will not destroy them. And many a time did he turn away his anger: and did not kindle all his wrath.

2:6Who being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:

7But emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men, and in habit found as a man.

8He humbled himself, becoming obedient to death, even to the death of the cross.

9For which cause God also has exalted him, and has given him a name which is above all names:

10That in the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those that are in heaven, on earth, and under the earth:

11And that every tongue should confess that the Lord Jesus Christ is in the glory of God the Father.

3:13And no man has ascended into heaven, but he that descended from heaven, the Son of Man who is in heaven.

14And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert, so must the Son of Man be lifted up:

15That whoever believes in him, may not perish; but may have life eternal.

16For God so loved the world, as to give his only begotten Son; that whoever believes in him, may not perish, but may have life eternal.

17For God sent not his Son into the world, to judge the world, but that the world may be saved by him.
