Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness.

I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart.

Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.

The LORD is well pleased for his righteousness' sake; he will magnify the law, and make it honourable.-Except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.

What the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: that the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.

Who can say, I have made my heart clean ?

The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God. They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one.-They that are in the flesh cannot please God.

To will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not. For the good that I would I do not but the evil which I would not, that I do. We are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.

The scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.-God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them.-If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Thy name is as ointment poured forth.

Christ.. hath loved us, and hath given himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour. -Unto you therefore which believe he is precious.-God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow.-In him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.

If ye love me, keep my commandments.-The love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.-The house was filled with the odour of the ointment.-They took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus.

O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens.-Emmanuel.. God with us.-His name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.-The name of the LORD is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe.

The whole bullock shall he carry forth without the camp unto a clean place, where the ashes are poured out, and burn him on the wood with fire.

They took Jesus, and led him away. And he bearing his cross went forth into a place called the place of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha: where they crucified him.-The bodies of those beasts, whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the high priest for sin, are burned without the camp. Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered without the gate. Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach.-The fellowship of his sufferings.

Rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings: that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.-Our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory.

Thou art my hope in the day
of evil.

There be many that say, Who will shew us any good? LORD, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us. -I will sing of thy power; yea, I will sing aloud of thy mercy in the morning: for thou hast been my defence and refuge in the day of my trouble.

In my prosperity I said, I shall never be moved. Thou didst hide thy face, and I was troubled. I cried to thee, O LORD: and unto the LORD I made supplication. What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit ? Shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth? Hear, O LORD, and have mercy upon me: LORD, be thou my helper.

For a small moment have I forsaken thee; but with great mercies will I gather thee. In a little wrath I hid my face from thee for a moment; but with everlasting kindness will I have mercy on thee, saith the LORD thy Redeemer. -Sorrow shall be turned into joy.Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.
