Bible Quotes

God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, the first day. (Genesis 1:5) ESV To give light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.” (Luke 1:79) ESV And this is the judgment: the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light because their works were evil. For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his works should be exposed. But whoever does what is true comes to the light, so that it may be clearly seen that his works have been carried out in God. (John 3:19-21) ESV Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” (John 8:12) ESV But if anyone walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him.” (John 11:10) ESV 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. (Romans 13:12) ESV Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness? Or what fellowship has light with darkness? (2 Corinthians 6:14) ESV For you are all children of light, children of the day. We are not of the night or of the darkness. (1 Thessalonians 5:5) ESV This is the message we have heard from him and proclaim to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. If we say we have fellowship with him while we walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin. (1 John 1:5-7) ESV¹
