Justice will march in front, making a path for you to follow.
Direct me by your commands! I love to do what you say.
Your kingdom is ruled by justice and fairness with love and faithfulness leading the way.
Then your light will shine like the dawning sun, and you will quickly be healed. Your honesty will protect you as you advance, and the glory of the LORD will defend you from behind.
I will bless my people with more food than they need, and the priests will enjoy the choice cuts of meat. I, the LORD, have spoken.
Your trees will be filled with fruit, and crops will grow in your fields, so that you will never again feel ashamed for not having enough food.
and I will send rain to make your crops grow and your trees produce fruit.
But I am giving you a new command. You must love each other, just as I have loved you.
So our faces are not covered. They show the bright glory of the Lord, as the Lord's Spirit makes us more and more like our glorious Lord.
I have died, but Christ lives in me. And I now live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave his life for me.
Christ suffered here on earth. Now you must be ready to suffer as he did, because suffering shows that you have stopped sinning.
If we say we are his, we must follow the example of Christ.
