| Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth.1 – The letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.2 |
| Christ … loved the church, and gave himself for it; that he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, that he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing.3 |
| Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word. … Thy word hath quickened me. … Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee. … I will not forget thy word. … I trust in thy word. … The law of thy mouth is better unto me than thousands of gold and silver. … I will never forget thy precepts: for with them thou hast quickened me. … How sweet are thy words unto my taste! yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth! Through thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate every false way.4 |
