4 “Pay attention to me, O my people; and you national group of mine,+ to me give ear. For from me a law itself* will go forth,+ and my judicial decision I shall cause to repose even as a light to the peoples.*+

19 Now this is the basis for judgment, that the light+ has come into the world+ but men have loved the darkness rather than the light,+ for their works were wicked.

12 Therefore Jesus spoke again to them, saying: “I am the light+ of the world. He that follows me will by no means walk in darkness,+ but will possess the light of life.”

5 As long as I am in the world, I am the world’s light.”+

36 While YOU have the light, exercise faith in the light, in order to become sons of light.”+

Jesus spoke these things and went off and hid from them.

14 Do not become unevenly yoked* with unbelievers.+ For what fellowship do righteousness and lawlessness have?+ Or what sharing does light have with darkness?+

15 that YOU may come to be blameless+ and innocent, children+ of God without a blemish in among a crooked and twisted generation,+ among whom YOU are shining as illuminators in the world,+
