Lights

And God said, “Let there be lights in the expanse of the sky to distinguish between the day and the night, and let them be signs to mark the seasons and days and years.

And let them serve as lights in the expanse of the sky to shine upon the earth.” And it was so.

God made two great lights: the greater light to rule the day and the lesser light to rule the night. And He made the stars as well.

God set these lights in the expanse of the sky to shine upon the earth,

For You, O LORD, are my lamp; the LORD lights up my darkness.

For You, O LORD, light my lamp; my God lights up my darkness.

He made the great lights—His loving devotion endures forever.

All the shining lights in the heavens I will darken over you, and I will bring darkness upon your land,’ declares the Lord GOD.

No one lights a lamp and covers it with a jar or puts it under a bed. Instead, he sets it on a stand, so those who enter can see the light.

No one lights a lamp and puts it in a cellar or under a basket. Instead, he sets it on a stand, so those who enter can see the light.

For just as the lightning flashes and lights up the sky from one end to the other, so will be the Son of Man in His day.

Calling for lights, the jailer rushed in and fell trembling before Paul and Silas.

…so that you may be blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and perverse generation, in which you shine as lights in the world

Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, with whom there is no change or shifting shadow.
