827 THE CHRISTIAN HOME Ephesians 4 and 5, Jerusalem
Never have grudges against others,
or lose your temper,
or raise your voice to anybody,
or call each other names,
or allow any sort of spitefulness.

Be friends with one another, and kind,
forgiving each other as readily as
God forgave you in Christ.

Try, then, to imitate God,
as children of his that he loves,
and follow Christ by loving as he loved you,
giving himself up in our place
as a fragrant offering and a sacrifice to God.

Among you there must be
not even a mention of fornication
or impurity in any of its forms,
or promiscuity:
this would hardly become the saints!

There must be no coarseness,
or salacious talk and jokes—
all this is wrong for you;
raise your voices in thanksgiving instead.

You were darkness once,
but now you are light in the Lord;
be like children of light.

Sing the words and tunes of the psalms
and hymns when you are together,
and go on singing and chanting
to the Lord in your hearts,

so that always and everywhere
you are giving thanks to God who is our Father
in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

828 YOUTH Ecclesiastes 12, Proverbs 20, Psalm 119, Proverbs 3, and Psalm 103, NIV
Remember your Creator
in the days of your youth,
before the days of trouble come and
the years approach when you will say,
"I find no pleasure in them."

Even a child is known by his actions,
by whether his conduct is pure and right.

How can a young man keep his way pure?
By living according to your word.
I seek you with all my heart;
do not let me stray from your commands.

My son, do not forget my teaching,
but keep my commands in your heart,
for they will prolong your life
many years and bring you prosperity.

Let love and faithfulness never leave you;
bind them around your neck,
write them on the tablet of your heart.
Then you will win favor and a good name
in the sight of God and man.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways acknowledge him,
and he will make your paths straight.

Praise the Lord, 0 my soul,
and forget not all his benefits....
He satisfies my desires with good things,
so that my youth is renewed like the eagle's.

829 A NOBLE WIFE Proverbs 31, NKJV
Who can find a virtuous wife?
For her worth is far above rubies.

The heart of her husband safely trusts her;
So he will have no lack of gain.
She does him good and not evil
All the days of her life.

She seeks wool and flax,
And willingly works with her hands.
She also rises while it is yet night,
And provides food for her house hold,
And a portion for her maidservants.

She girds herself with strength,
And strengthens her arms....
She extends her hand to the poor,
Yes, she reaches out her hands to the needy.

Strength and honor are her clothing;
She shall rejoice in time to come.
She opens her mouth with wisdom,
And on her tongue is the law of kindness.

She watches over the ways of her household,
And does not eat the bread of idleness.
Her children rise up and call her blessed;
Her husband also, and he praises her.

830 MARRIAGE Genesis 2, Matthew 19, and Ephesians 5, NEB
The Lord God said,
"It is not good for the man to be alone.
I will provide a partner for him."

The Lord God then built up the rib,
which he had taken out of the man,
into a woman.
He brought her to the man,
and the man said:

"Now this, at last—
bone from my bones,
flesh from my flesh!
this shall be called woman,
for from man was this taken."

"For this reason a man shall leave
his father and mother,
and be made one with his wife;
and the two shall become one flesh.

"It follows that they are no longer two individuals:
they are one flesh.
What God has joined together,
man must not separate."

Be subject to one another
out of reverence for Christ.

Wives, be subject to your husbands
as to the Lord;
for the man is the head of the woman,
just as Christ also is the head of the church.

Husbands, love your wives,
as Christ also loved the church
and gave himself up for it,
to consecrate it,
cleansing it by water and word,
so that he might present the church
to himself all glorious,
with no stain or wrinkle
or anything of the sort,
but holy and without blemish.

In the same way
men also are bound to love their wives,
as they love their own bodies.
In loving his wife a man loves himself.
For no one ever hated his own body:
on the contrary, he provides and cares for it.
LOVE IN THE HOME: See also Nos. 793, 827

"I will sing to the Lord,
For He has triumphed gloriously!
The horse and its rider He has
thrown into the sea!

"The Lord is my strength and song,
And He has become my salvation;
He is my God, and I will praise Him;
My Father's God, and I will exalt Him.

"The Lord is a man of war;
The Lord is His name.

"Pharaoh's chariots and his army
He has cast into the sea;
His chosen captains also
are drowned in the Red Sea.

"The depths have covered them;
They sank to the bottom like a stone.

"Your right hand, 0 Lord,
has become glorious in power;
Your right hand, 0 Lord,
has dashed the enemy in pieces.

"And in the greatness of Your excellence
You have overthrown those who rose against You;
You sent forth Your wrath
which consumed them like stubble.

"And with the blast of Your nostrils
The waters were gathered together;
The floods stood upright like a heap;
And the depths congealed in the heart of the sea.

"The enemy said, 'I will pursue,
I will overtake,
I will divide the spoil;
My desire shall be satisfied on them.
I will draw my sword,
My hand shall destroy them.'

"You blew with Your wind,
the sea covered them;
They sank like lead in the mighty waters.

"Who is like You, 0 Lord, among the gods?
Who is like You, glorious in holiness,
Fearful in praises, doing wonders?

"You stretched out Your right hand;
The earth swallowed them.
You in Your mercy have led forth
The people whom You have redeemed;
You have guided them in Your strength
To Your holy habitation.

"The people will hear and be afraid;
Sorrow will take hold of the inhabitants of Palestina.
Then the chiefs of Edom will be dismayed;
The mighty men of Moab,
Trembling will take hold of them;
All the inhabitants of Canaan will melt away.

"Fear and dread will fall on them;
By the greatness of Your arm
They will be as still as a stone,
Till Your people pass over, 0 Lord,
Till the people pass over
Whom You have purchased.

832 OUT OF THE DEPTHS Psalm 130, NKJV (De Profundis)
Out of the depths I have cried to You, 0 Lord;

Lord, hear my voice!
Let Your ears be attentive
To the voice of my supplications.

If You, Lord, should mark iniquities,
O Lord, who could stand?

But there is forgiveness with You,
That You may be feared.

I wait for the Lord, my soul waits,
And in His word I do hope.

My soul waits for the Lord
More than those who watch for the morning—
I say, more than those who watch for the morning.

O Israel, hope in the Lord;
For with the Lord there is mercy,
And with Him is abundant redemption.

And He shall redeem Israel
From all his iniquities.

836 ZACHARIAS' PROPHECY * Luke 1, NKJV
"Blessed is the Lord God of Israel,
For He has visited and redeemed His people,
And has raised up a horn of salvation for us
In the house of His servant David,
As He spoke by the mouth of His holy prophets,
Who have been since the world began,

"That we should be saved from our enemies
And from the hand of all who hate us,
To perform the mercy promised to our fathers
And to remember His holy covenant,
The oath which He swore to our father Abraham:

"To grant us that we,
Being delivered from the hand of our enemies,
Might serve Him without fear,
In holiness and righteousness before
Him all the days of our life.

"And you, child, will be called the
prophet of the Highest;
For you will go before the face
of the Lord to prepare His ways,
To give knowledge of salvation to His people
By the remission of their sins,
Through the tender mercy of our God,

"With which the Dayspring
from on high has visited us;
To give light to those who sit in darkness
and the shadow of death,
To guide our feet into the way of peace,"

and the glory of your people Israel."

Oh, the depth of the riches
of the wisdom and knowledge of God!

How unsearchable his judgments,
and his paths beyond tracing out!

"Who has known the mind of the Lord?
Or who has been his counselor?"

"Who has ever given to God,
that God should repay him?"

For from him and through him
and to him are all things.
To him be the glory forever! Amen.

839 SPIRITUAL WISDOM 1 Corinthians 2, NKJV
We speak wisdom among those who are mature,
yet not the wisdom of this age,
nor of the rulers of this age,
who are coming to nothing.

But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery,
the hidden wisdom which God ordained
before the ages for our glory,
which none of the rulers of this age knew;
for had they known,
they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

But as it is written:
"Eye has not seen, nor ear heard,
Nor have entered into the heart of man
The things which God has prepared
for those who love Him."

But God has revealed them to us
through His Spirit.
For the Spirit searches all things,
yes, the deep things of God.

For what man knows the things of a man
except the spirit of the man which is in him?
Even so no one knows the things of God
except the Spirit of God.

Now we have received,
not the spirit of the world,
but the Spirit who is from God,
that we might know the things
that have been freely given to us by God.

These things we also speak,
not in words which man's wisdom
teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches,
comparing spiritual things with spiritual.

But the natural man does not receive
the things of the Spirit of God,
for they are foolishness to him;
nor can he know them,
because they are spiritually discerned.

But he who is spiritual judges all things,
yet he himself is rightly judged by no one.
For "Who has known the mind of the
Lord that he may instruct Him?"

But we have the mind of Christ.

840 THINGS SEEN AND UNSEEN 2 Corinthians 4, NKJV
We do not lose heart.
Even though our outward man is perishing,
yet the inward man is being renewed
day by day.

For our light affliction,
which is but for a moment,
is working for us a far more exceeding
and eternal weight of glory,
while we do not look at the things
which are seen,
but at the things which are not seen.

For the things which are seen are temporary,
but the things which are not seen are eternal.

841 THE PLAN OF SALVATION Ephesians 1, Jerusalem.
Blessed be God the Father of our
Lord Jesus Christ,
who has blessed us with all the
spiritual blessings of heaven in Christ.

Before the world was made,
he chose us, chose us in Christ,
to be holy and spodess,
and to live through love in his presence,
determining that we should become
his adopted sons, through Jesus Christ
for his own kind purposes,
to make us praise the glory of his grace,
his free gift to us in the Beloved,
in whom, through his blood,
we gain our freedom, the forgiveness of our sins.

Such is the richness of the grace
which he has showered on us
in all wisdom and insight.

He has let us know the mystery of his purpose,
the hidden plan he so kindly made in Christ
from the beginning to act upon
when the times had run their course to the end:
that he would bring everything
together under Christ, as head,
everything in the heavens and
everything on earth.

And it is in him that we were claimed as God's own,
chosen from the beginning,
under the predetermined plan of the one
who guides all things as he decides by his own will;
chosen to be, for his greater glory,
the people who would put their
hopes in Christ before he came.

Now you too, in him, have heard the message
of the truth and the good news of your salvation,
and have believed it;
and you too have been stamped with the seal
of the Holy Spirit of the Promise,
the pledge of our inheritance which brings freedom
for those whom God has taken for his own,
to make his glory praised.

842 ON THE INCARNATION* PhiliPpians 2, NKJV
Christ Jesus,... being in the form of God,
did not consider it robbery
to be equal with God,
but made Himself of no reputation,
taking the form of a servant,
and coming in the likeness of men.

And being found in appearance as a man,
He humbled Himself and became obedient
to the point of death,
even the death of the cross.

Therefore God also has highly exalted Him
and given Him the name which is above every name,

that at the name of Jesus
every knee should bow,
of those in heaven,
and of those on earth,
and of those under the earth,

and that every tongue should confess
that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father.
* This is perhaps the earliest Christian hymn.

843 IN PRAISE OF CHRIST Colossians 1, RSV
He is the image of the invisible God,
the first-born of all creation;

for in him all things were created,
in heaven and on earth,
visible and invisible,

whether thrones or dominions
or principalities or authorities
all things were created through him
and for him.

He is before all things,
and in him all things hold together.
He is the head of the body, the church;
he is the beginning,
the first-born from the dead,
that in everything he might be pre-eminent.

For in him all the fulness of God
was pleased to dwell,
and through him to reconcile to himself all things,
whether on earth or in heaven,
making peace by the blood of his cross.

Something which has existed since the beginning,
that we have heard,
and we have seen with our own eyes;
that we have watched and touched with our hands:
the Word, who is life this is our subject.

That life was made visible:
we saw it and we are giving our testimony,
telling you of the eternal life
which was with the Father
and has been made visible to us.

What we have seen and heard
we are telling you so that you too
may be in union with us,
as we are in union with the Father
and with his Son Jesus Christ.

We are writing this to you
to make our own joy complete.
