Genesis 12:1-5
Unlocked Literal Bible
1 Now Yahweh said to Abram, "Go from your country, and from your relatives, and from your father’s household, to the land that I will show you. 2 I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you, and make your name great, and you will be a blessing. 3 I will bless those who bless you, but whoever dishonors you I will curse. Through you will all the families of the earth be blessed." 4 So Abram went, as Yahweh had told him to do, and Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he left Haran. 5 Abram took Sarai, his wife, Lot, his brother's son, all their possessions that they had accumulated, and the people that they had acquired in Haran. They left to go into the land of Canaan, and came to the land of Canaan.

1 Then Yahweh said to Abram, "Leave this country where you are now living. Leave your father's clan and his family, and go to a land that I will show you. 2 I will cause your descendants to become a large nation. I will bless you and cause you to become famous. What I do for you will be a blessing to others. 3 I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse those who do evil things to you. I will bless all the clans on earth through you."
4 So Abram left Haran, as Yahweh told him to do. Abram was seventy-five years old when he left there along with his family and Lot's family. 5 Abram took his wife Sarai and his nephew Lot; he also took with himself all the possessions and slaves that they had accumulated in Haran. They left from there and went to the land of Canaan.
Psalm 23
Unlocked Literal Bible
A psalm of David.
1 Yahweh is my shepherd; I will lack nothing.
2 He makes me to lie down in green pastures;
he leads me beside tranquil water.
3 He restores my soul;
he guides me along right paths for his name's sake.
4 Even though I walk through a valley of darkest shadow,
I will not fear harm since you are with me;
your rod and your staff comfort me.
5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;
you have anointed my head with oil;
my cup runs over.
6 Surely goodness and covenant faithfulness will pursue me all the days of my life;
and I will live in the house of Yahweh for a very long time!

A psalm written by David
1 Yahweh, you care for me like a shepherd cares for his sheep,
so I have everything that I need.
2 You make me strong again
and give me peace
like a shepherd leads his sheep to places where there is plenty of green grass for them to eat
and lets them rest beside streams where the water is flowing slowly.
3 You renew my strength.
You show me how to live in the right way,
in order that I can honor you.
4 Even when I am walking in very dangerous places
where I might die,
I will not be afraid of anything
because you are with me.
You protect me like a shepherd protects his sheep.
5 You prepare a great feast for me
in a place where my enemies can see me.
You welcome me
as a guest whom you honor.
You have given me very many blessings!
6 I am certain that you will be good to me
and act mercifully toward me
as long as I live;
then, O Yahweh, I will live in your home forever.
Isaiah 55:1-3
Unlocked Literal Bible
1 "Ho, all who thirst, come to the water! And whoever has no money,
all come, buy, and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without cost.
2 Why do you weigh out silver for what is not bread? And labor for what does not satisfy?
Listen carefully to me and eat what is good, and delight your lives in fatness.
3 Turn your ears and come to me! Listen, that your life may live!
I will certainly make an everlasting covenant with you, the acts of covenant faithfulness given to David.
Unlocked Dynamic Bible
1 "All you people who are in exile,
listen to me!
It is as though you were thirsty,
so come and get water from me!
It is as though you had no money,
but you can come and get things from me that are like wine and milk!
You can get what you need from me,
and you will not need to give me any money for them!
2 Why do you spend money to buy things that do not supply what you really need?
Why do you work hard to get money to buy things that do not truly satisfy you?
Pay attention to what I say
and acquire what is really good!
If you come to me, then in your heart you will truly be happy.
3 Listen to me and come to me;
pay attention to me, and if you do that, you will have new life in your soul.
I will make a covenant with you that will last forever
to faithfully love you like I loved King David.
Mark 1:9-13
Unlocked Literal Bible
9 It happened in those days that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and he was baptized by John in the Jordan River. 10 As Jesus came up out of the water, he saw the heavens split open and the Spirit coming down on him like a dove, 11 while a voice came out of the heavens, "You are my beloved Son. I am very pleased with you."
12 Then the Spirit immediately compelled him to go out into the wilderness. 13 He was in the wilderness forty days, and he was being tempted by Satan. He was with the wild animals, and the angels served his needs.
Unlocked Dynamic Bible
9 During the time when John was preaching, Jesus came from Nazareth, a town in the district of Galilee. He went to where John was preaching, and John baptized him in the Jordan River. 10 Immediately after Jesus came up out of the water, he saw heaven open up and the Spirit of God descending on himself. The Spirit of God came in the form of a dove. 11 God spoke from heaven and said, "You are my Son, the one whom I love dearly. I am very pleased with you." 12 Then the Spirit of God sent Jesus out into the wilderness. 13 He was there for forty days. During that time, Satan was tempting him. There were wild animals in that place, and angels were taking care of him.
John 1:1-5
Unlocked Literal Bible
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 This one, the Word, was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through him, and without him there was not one thing made that has been made. 4 In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not extinguish it.
Unlocked Dynamic Bible
1 In the beginning was the Word. The Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was with God before he began to create anything. 3 He is the one who carried out God's command to create everything—yes, absolutely everything that was made! 4 All life is in the Word, so he could give life to everything and everyone. The Word was God's light that shone on everyone, everywhere. 5 This light shone in the darkness, and the darkness tried to put it out, but it could not.
1 Corinthians 15:1-8
Unlocked Literal Bible
1 Now I remind you, brothers and sisters, of the gospel I proclaimed to you, which you received and on which you stand, 2 and by which you are being saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you—unless you believed in vain. 3 For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4 and that he was buried, and that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures. 5 And that he appeared to Cephas, then to the Twelve. 6 Then he appeared to more than five hundred brothers and sisters at once, most of whom are still alive, but some have fallen asleep. 7 Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles. 8 Last of all, he appeared to me, as if to a child born at the wrong time.
Unlocked Dynamic Bible
1 And now I wish to remind you, brothers and sisters, about the good news I proclaimed to you. You believed this message and now you live according to it. 2 This good news saved you, as long as you hold firmly to it—unless you did not truly believe it.
3 For I have passed on to you what others first told me, that Christ died for our sins, as the Scripture foretold he would; 4 also that they buried him, and that God raised him to life on the third day, all in conformity with what the Scriptures said would happen. 5 Then Christ appeared to Cephas (known as Peter), and then he appeared to the rest of the apostles. 6 He later appeared to more than five hundred brothers and sisters in the Lord when they were all together. Some of them have since died, but most are still alive and can verify this. 7 Then he appeared to James, and then again to all the apostles. 8 Last of all he appeared to me, although I did not at all deserve it.
