Psalm 118
Give thanks to the Lord for his mercy endures for ever; I called to the Lord and God saved me; I was bound and God set me free; my enemies and God help me repel them; God triumphs and I will live to declare the works of the Lord; on this day the Lord has acted; we bless the Lord!
Romans 12 - Paul writes to the Romans.
Do not let the world transform you but let God transform you; we are many who are one body in Christ; serve the Lord in variety of ways - see his list of Christian proverbs; always do good at all times and in all things.
John 8
Whoever is from God will hear the words of God; the Jews insult him and ask who is Jesus?; Jesus says he is "I am" and the Jews gathered stones for his blasphemy but Jesus slips through the crowd and disappears.
