The unclean will not journey on it;
    it will be for those who walk in that Way;
    wicked fools will not go about on it.
No lion will be there,
    nor will any ferocious beast get up on it;
    they will not be found there.
But only the redeemed will walk there,
    and the ransomed of the LORD will return.
They will enter Zion with singing;

Gladness and joy will overtake them,
    and sorrow and sighing will flee away.

    and the fields produce no food,
though there are no sheep in the pen
    and no cattle in the stalls,
yet I will rejoice in the LORD,
    I will be joyful in God my Savior.

    He enables me to go on the heights.

But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid.”
I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all people.
Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you;
    He is Christ the Lord.
This will be a sign to you:
You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.”

   and on earth peace to men on whom His favor rests.”

There, since we have been justified through faith,
    we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
        through whom we have gained access by faith
            into this grace in which we now stand.
And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God.
Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings,
    because suffering produces perseverance,
        perseverance, character;
            and character, hope.
And hope does not disappoint us,
    because God has poured out His love into our hearts
        by the Holy Spirit, whom He has given us.

Not only is this so,
but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
through whom we have now received reconciliation.

    but in everything, by prayer and petition,
        with thanksgiving,
            present your requests to God.
And the peace of God,
    which transcends all understanding,
        will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.

Finally, brothers,
whatever is true, what ever is noble,
    whatever is right, whatever is pure,
        whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable –
if anything is excellent or praiseworthy –
    think about such things.


COLOSSIANS 1:9-14

Asking God to fill you with the knowledge of His will
    through all spiritual wisdom and understanding.
Praying this in order that you may live a life 
          worthy of the Lord
    and may please Him in every way:
bearing fruit in every good work,
    growing in the knowledge of God,
        being strengthened with all power 
                according to His glorious might
so that you may have great endurance and patience,
    and joyfully giving thanks to the Father,
        who has qualified you to share in the inheritance
                of the saints
            in the kingdom of light.

    and brought us into the kingdom of the Son He loves,
        in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of skins.

    so that you may mature and complete,
        not lacking anything.


1 PETER 1:3-9

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ!
In His great mercy He has given us new birth into a living hope
    through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade –
    kept in heaven for you,
        who through faith are shielded by God’s power
until the coming of the salvation
    that is ready to be revealed in the last time.
In this you greatly rejoice,
    though now for a little while
        you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials.
These have come so that your faith –
    of greater worth than gold,
        which perishes even though refined by fire –
may be proved genuine and may result in praise, glory and honor
    when Jesus Christ is revealed.
Though you have not seen Him, you love Him;
    and even though you do not see Him now,
        you believe in Him
            and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy,
for you are receiving the goal of your faith,
    the salvation of your souls.


1 PETER 4:12-13

Dear friends, do not be surprised

    so that you may be overjoyed when His glory is revealed.

Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life,
    as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God 
                 and of the Lamb
         down the middle of the great street of the city.
On each side of the river stood the tree of life,
    bearing twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month.
And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations.
No longer will there be any curse.
The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in the city,
    and His servants will serve Him.
They will see His face, and His name will be on their 
             foreheads.
There will be no more night.
They will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun,
    for the Lord God will give them light.
And they will reign for ever and ever.

Behold, I am coming soon!
My reward is with me,
    and I will give to everyone according to what he has done.
I am the Alpha and the Omega,
    the First and the Last,
        the Beginning and the End.

The Spirit and the bride say “Come!”
And let him who hears say, “Come!”
Whoever is thirsty, let him come;
and whoever wishes,
    let him take the free gift of the water of life.

He who testifies to these things says,
    “Yes, I am coming soon.”
Amen.  Come, Lord Jesus.
The grace of the Lord Jesus be with God’s people.
    Amen
