among whom you shine like lights in the world."

in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation,

'For all flesh is as grass; and all the glory thereof as the flower of grass. The grass is withered, and the flower thereof is fallen away. But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel hath been preached unto you.'

1 Peter 1:24-25

[odhiambo]

I will take you away from among the nations,
 gather you from all the lands,
and bring you back to your own soil.

 I will sprinkle clean water over you to make you clean;
 from all your impurities and from all your idols I will cleanse you.

 I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit I will put within you.
 I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh
and give you a heart of flesh.

I will put my spirit within you
so that you walk in my statutes,
 observe my ordinances,
and keep them.

You will live in the land I gave to your ancestors;
you will be my people, and I will be your God.

Ezekiel 36: 24-28
