3:1This is the book of the commands of God, and the law, that is forever: all those who keep it, shall come to life: but those who have left it, to death.

2Return, O Jacob, and take hold of it, walk in the way by its brightness, in the presence of the light thereof.

3Give not your honour to another, nor your dignity to a strange nation.

4We are happy, O Israel: because the things that are pleasing to God, are made known to us.

5Be of good comfort, O people of God, the memorial of Israel:

6You have been sold to the Gentiles, not for your destruction: but because you provoked God to wrath, you are rescued to your adversaries.

7For you have provoked him who made you, the eternal God, offering sacrifice to devils, and not to God.

8For you have forgotten God, who brought you up, and you have grieved Jerusalem that nursed you.

9For she saw the wrath of God coming upon you, and she said: Give ear, all you that dwell near Sion, for God has brought upon me great mourning:

23:1A psalm for David. The Lord ruleth me: and I shall want nothing.

2He has set me in a place of pasture. He has brought me up, on the water of refreshment:

3he has converted my soul. He has led me on the paths of righteousness, for his own name's sake.

4For though I should walk in the midst of the shadow of death, I will fear no evils, for you are with me. Your rod and your staff, they have comforted me.

5You have prepared a table before me against them that afflict me. You have anointed my head with oil; and my chalice which inebriateth me, how goodly is it!

6And your mercy will follow me all the days of my life. And that I may dwell in the house of the Lord to length of days.

5:5And hope confoundeth not: because the charity of God is poured forth in our hearts, by the Holy Ghost, who is given to us.

6For why did Christ, when as yet we were weak, according to the time, die for the ungodly?

7For scarce for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man some one would dare to die.

8But God commendeth his charity towards us; because when as yet we were sinners, according to the time,

9Christ died for us; much more therefore, being now justified by his blood, shall we be saved from wrath through him.

10For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son; much more, being reconciled, shall we be saved by his life.

11And not only so; but also we glory in God, through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received reconciliation.

6:37All that the Father gives to me shall come to me; and him that comes to me, I will not cast out.

38Because I came down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him that sent me.

39Now this is the will of the Father who sent me: that of all that he has given me, I should lose nothing; but should raise it up again in the last day.

40And this is the will of my Father that sent me: that every one who sees the Son, and believes in him, may have life eternal, and I will raise him up in the last day.
