Isaiah 26:12

For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

I will cry unto God most high; unto God that performeth all things for me.

The Lord will give strength unto his people; the Lord will bless his people with peace.

But I wrought for my name’s sake, that it should not be polluted before the heathen, in whose sight I brought them out.

And the Lord thy God will circumcise thine heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, that thou mayest live.

Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant,

Behold, I will bring it health and cure, and I will cure them, and will reveal unto them the abundance of peace and truth.

Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

Nevertheless I withdrew mine hand, and wrought for my name’s sake, that it should not be polluted in the sight of the heathen, in whose sight I brought them forth.

But I wrought for my name’s sake, that it should not be polluted before the heathen, among whom they were, in whose sight I made myself known unto them, in bringing them forth out of the land of Egypt.

Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you.

Thou art wearied in the greatness of thy way; yet saidst thou not, There is no hope: thou hast found the life of thine hand; therefore thou wast not grieved.
