For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that you by his poverty might become rich.—But where sin increased, grace abounded all the more.
So that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.—Yet we know that a person is not justified by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, so we also have believed in Christ Jesus, in order to be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, because by works of the law no one will be justified.—He saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior.

“A star shall come out of Jacob.â€
The night is far gone; the day is at hand. So then let us cast off the works of darkness and put on the armor of light.—Until the day breathes and the shadows flee, turn, my beloved, be like a gazelle or a young stag on cleft mountains.
“Watchman, what time of the night?†The watchman says: “Morning comes, and also the night. If you will inquire, inquire; come back again.â€
“I am the light of the world.â€â€”“And I will give him the morning star.â€
“Be on guard, keep awake. For you do not know when the time will come. It is like a man going on a journey, when he leaves home and puts his servants in charge, each with his work, and commands the doorkeeper to stay awake. Therefore stay awake… lest he come suddenly and find you asleep. And what I say to you I say to all: Stay awake.â€
