Psalm 62:5-12 Oh, I must find rest in God only, because my hope comes from him! Only God is my rock and my salvation—my stronghold!--I will not be shaken. My deliverance and glory depend on God. God is my strong rock. My refuge is in God. All you people: Trust in him at all times! Pour out your hearts before him! God is our refuge! Human beings are nothing but a breath. Human beings are nothing but lies. They don't even register on a scale; taken all together they are lighter than a breath!
Don't trust in violence; don't set false hopes in robbery. When wealth bears fruit, don't set your heart on it. God has spoken one thing—make it two things—that I myself have heard: that strength belongs to God, and faithful love comes from you, my Lord—and that you will repay everyone according to their deeds.
Isaiah 52:7-12 How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of a messenger who proclaims peace, who brings good news, who proclaims salvation, who says to Zion, “Your God rules!” Listen! Your lookouts lift their voice; they sing out together! Right before their eyes they see the Lord returning to Zion. Break into song together, you ruins of Jerusalem! The Lord has comforted his people and has redeemed Jerusalem. The Lord has bared his holy arm in view of all the nations; all the ends of the earth have seen our God's victory. Depart! Depart! Go out from there! Unclean! Don't touch! Get out of that place; purify yourselves, carriers of the Lord's equipment! You won't go out in a rush, nor will you run away, because
the one going before you is the Lord; your rear guard is the God of Israel.
Galatians 3:23-29 Before faith came, we were guarded under the Law, locked up until that faith that was coming would be revealed, so that the Law became our custodian until Christ so that we might be made
righteous by faith. But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a custodian. You are all God's children through faith in Christ Jesus. All of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek; there is neither slave nor free; nor is there male and female, for you all are one in Christ Jesus. Now if you belong to Christ, then indeed you are Abraham's descendants, heirs according to the promise.
John 7:16-24 Jesus responded, “My teaching isn't mine but comes from the one who sent me. Whoever wants to do God's will can tell whether my teaching is from God or whether I speak on my own. Those who speak in their own seek glory for themselves. Those who seek the glory of him who sent me are people of truth; there is no falsehood in them. Didn't Moses give you the Law? Yet none of you keep the Law. Why do you want to kill me?” The crowd answered, “You have a demon. Who wants to kill you?”
Jesus replied, “I did one work, and you were all astonished. Because Moses gave you the commandment about circumcision (although it wasn't Moses but he patriarchs), you circumcise a man on the Sabbath. If a man can be circumcised on the Sabbath without breaking Moses' Law, why are you angry with me because I made an entire man well on the Sabbath? Don't judge according to appearances. Judge with right judgment."
