1. “Don’t let evil get the best of you; get the best of evil by doing good.” (Romans 12:21 – The Message)
2. “I do not consider, brethren, that I have captured and made it my own [yet]; but one thing I do [it is my one aspiration]: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal…” (Philippians 3:13, 14 – AMPC)
3. “When the Lord brought back the captives [who returned] to Zion, we were like those who dream [it seemed so unreal].” (Psalms 126:1 – AMPC)
4. “Here’s another way to put it: You’re here to be light, bringing out the God-colors in the world. God is not a secret to be kept. We’re going public with this, as public as a city on a hill. If I make you light-bearers, you don’t think I’m going to hide you under a bucket, do you? I’m putting you on a light stand. Now that I’ve put you there on a hilltop, on a light stand—shine! Keep open house; be generous with your lives. By opening up to others, you’ll prompt people to open up with God, this generous Father in heaven. (Matthew 5:14-16 – The Message)
5. “The light for your earthly life is perception. Therefore, if your perception is without fault, your whole life shall be enlightened. If your perception be evil, your whole life shall be darkened by it; if the light for you is darkness, how deep will your darkness become?” (Matthew 6:22, 23 – Khaboris Manuscript)
6. “A person’s spirit is the lamp of the Lord; it searches throughout one’s innermost being.” (Proverbs 20:27 – ISV)
7. “But we all, ourselves – having a face that has been uncovered and remains unveiled – being folks who by a mirror are continuously observing, as ourselves…Christ’s glory (or: being those who progressively reflect – from ourselves as by a mirror – the glory of [our] Owner), are presently being continuously and progressively transformed into the very same image, from glory into glory – in accord with and exactly as – from the Lord’s Breath-effect (2 Corinthians 3:18 – JMNT)
8. “Because of this decision we don’t evaluate people by what they have or how they look. We looked at the Messiah that way once and got it all wrong, as you know. We certainly don’t look at him that way anymore. Now we look inside, and what we see is that anyone united with the Messiah gets a fresh start, is created new. The old life is gone; a new life emerges!” (2 Corinthians 5:16 – The Message)
9. “Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and they who indulge in it shall eat the fruit of it [for death or life].” (Proverbs 18:21 – AMPC)
10. “If no one welcomes you or listens to your words, as you leave that house or town, shake its dust off your feet.” (Matthew 10:14 – ISV)
11. “And we have known that to those loving God all things do work together for good, to those who are called according to purpose” (Romans 8:28 – YLT)
12. “Do not be habitually worried, anxious or overly concerned about anything! On the contrary, in everything (and: within every situation), by thinking and speaking toward having goodness and having things go well and with ease…and in expression of need – together with thanksgiving – repeatedly let your requests be made known toward God” (Philippians 4:6 – JMNT)
