Jerusalem

Glorious things are spoken of you,

O city of God.

Selah.

Now it will come about that

In the last days

The mountain of the house of the Lord
Will be established as the chief of the mountains,
And will be raised above the hills;
And all the nations will stream to it.

Break forth, shout joyfully together,

You waste places of Jerusalem;
For the Lord has comforted His people,
He has redeemed Jerusalem.

For Zion’s sake I will not keep silent,
And for Jerusalem’s sake I will not keep quiet,
Until her righteousness goes forth like brightness,
And her salvation like a torch that is burning.

“But be glad and rejoice forever in what I create;
For behold, I create Jerusalem for rejoicing
And her people for gladness.

“Be joyful with Jerusalem and rejoice for her, all you who love her;
Be exceedingly glad with her, all you who mourn over her,

Then you will know that I am the Lord your God,
Dwelling in Zion, My holy mountain.
So Jerusalem will be holy,
And strangers will pass through it no more.

And it will come about in the last days
That the mountain of the house of the Lord
Will be established as the chief of the mountains.
It will be raised above the hills,
And the peoples will stream to it.

For our citizenship is in heaven, from which also we eagerly wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ;

But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to myriads of angels,

He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God, and he will not go out from it anymore; and I will write on him the name of My God, and the name of the city of My God, the new Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from My God, and My new name.

And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, made ready as a bride adorned for her husband.

Free

For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by the bondwoman and one by the free woman.

It was for freedom that Christ set us free; therefore keep standing firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery.

So if the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed.

For sin shall not be master over you, for you are not under law but under grace.

Act as free men, and do not use your freedom as a covering for evil, but use it as bondslaves of God.
