Alive in Christ
6 Therefore, tas you ureceived Christ Jesus the Lord, so vwalk in him, 7 wrooted and xbuilt up in him and established in the faith, just as you were ytaught, abounding in thanksgiving.
8 See to it that no one ztakes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human atradition, according to the belemental spirits1 of the world, and not according to Christ. 9 For in him the whole cfullness of deity dwells bodily, 10 and dyou have been filled in him, who is the ehead of all rule and authority.
Tremble at the Presence of the Lord
1 jWhen Israel went out from Egypt,
the house of Jacob from a people of strange language,
2 kJudah became his sanctuary,
Israel his dominion.
3 lThe sea looked and fled;
mJordan turned back.
4 The mountains nskipped like rams,
the hills like lambs.
5 What ails you, O sea, that you flee?
O Jordan, that you turn back?
6 O mountains, that you skip like rams?
O hills, like lambs?
7 oTremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord,
at the presence of the God of Jacob,
8 pwho turns the rock into a pool of water,
the qflint into a spring of water.
The Lord’s Prayer
1 fNow Jesus1 was praying in a certain place, and when he finished, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, as John taught his disciples.” 2 And he said to them, “When you pray, say:
“Father, ghallowed be your name.
Your hkingdom come.
3 Give us each day our idaily bread,2
4 and jforgive us our sins,
for we ourselves forgive everyone who is indebted to us.
And klead us not into temptation.”
