Juan 8:31-36 (NVI)

31 Jesús se dirigió entonces a los judíos que habían creído en él, y les dijo: ―Si os mantenéis fieles a mis enseñanzas, seréis realmente mis discípulos;
32 y conoceréis la verdad, y la verdad os hará libres.
33 ―Nosotros somos descendientes de Abraham —le contestaron—, y nunca hemos sido esclavos de nadie. ¿Cómo puedes decir que seremos liberados?
34 ―Ciertamente os aseguro que todo el que peca es esclavo del pecado —respondió Jesús—.
35 Ahora bien, el esclavo no se queda para siempre en la familia; pero el hijo sí se queda en ella para siempre.
36 Así que, si el Hijo os libera, seréis verdaderamente libres.

John 8:31-36 (NKJV)

31 Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed.
32 And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”
33 They answered Him, “We are Abraham’s descendants, and have never been in bondage to anyone. How can You say, ‘You will be made free’?”
34 Jesus answered them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, whoever commits sin is a slave of sin.
35 And a slave does not abide in the house forever, but a son abides forever.
36 Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.

Joel 2:12-17 (NVI)

12 «Ahora bien —afirma el Señor—, volveos a mí de todo corazón, con ayuno, llantos y lamentos».
13 Rasgaos el corazón y no las vestiduras. Volveos al Señor vuestro Dios, porque él es bondadoso y compasivo, lento para la ira y lleno de amor,
ambia de parecer y no castiga.
14 Tal vez Dios reconsidere y cambie de parecer, y deje tras de sí una bendición. Las ofrendas de cereales y las libaciones son del Señor vuestro Dios.
15 Tocad la trompeta en Sión, proclamad el ayuno, convocad una asamblea solemne.
16 Congregad al pueblo, purificad la asamblea; juntad a los ancianos del pueblo, reunid a los pequeños y a los niños de pecho. Que salga de su alcoba el recién casado, y la recién casada de su cámara nupcial.
17 Lloren, sacerdotes, ministros del Señor, entre el pórtico y el altar; y digan: «Compadécete, Señor, de tu pueblo. No entregues tu propiedad al oprobio, para que las naciones no se burlen de ella. ¿Por qué habrán de decir entre los pueblos: “Dónde está su Dios?”» La respuesta delSeñor

Joel 2:12-17 (NKJV)

12 “Now, therefore,” says the Lord, “turn to Me with all your heart, with fasting, with weeping, and with mourning.”
13 So rend your heart, and not your garments; Return to the Lord your God, For He is gracious and merciful, Slow to anger, and of great kindness; And He relents from doing harm.
14 Who knows if He will turn and relent, And leave a blessing behind Him— A grain offering and a drink offering For the Lord your God?
15 Blow the trumpet in Zion, Consecrate a fast, Call a sacred assembly;
16 Gather the people, Sanctify the congregation, Assemble the elders, Gather the children and nursing babes; Let the bridegroom go out from his chamber, And the bride from her dressing room.
17 Let the priests, who minister to the Lord, Weep between the porch and the altar; Let them say, “Spare Your people, O Lord, And do not give Your heritage to reproach, That the nations should rule over them. Why should they say among the peoples, ‘Where is their God?’ ”

Salmo 51:10-13 (NVI)

10 Crea en mí, oh Dios, un corazón limpio, y renueva la firmeza de mi espíritu.
11 No me alejes de tu presencia ni me quites tu santo Espíritu.
12 Devuélveme la alegría de tu salvación; que un espíritu obediente me sostenga.
13 Así enseñaré a los transgresores tus caminos, y los pecadores se volverán a ti.

Psalms 51:10-13 (NKJV)

10 Create in me a clean heart, O God, And renew a steadfast spirit within me.
11 Do not cast me away from Your presence, And do not take Your Holy Spirit from me.
12 Restore to me the joy of Your salvation, And uphold me by Your generous Spirit.
13 Then I will teach transgressors Your ways, And sinners shall be converted to You.

Mateo 10:16-20 (NVI)

16 Os envío como ovejas en medio de lobos. Por tanto, sed astutos como serpientes y sencillos como palomas.
17 »Tened cuidado con la gente; os entregarán a los tribunales y os azotarán en las sinagogas.
18 Por mi causa os llevarán ante gobernadores y reyes para dar testimonio a ellos y a los gentiles.
19 Pero, cuando os arresten, no os preocupéis por lo que vais a decir o cómo vais a decirlo. En ese momento se os dará lo que habéis de decir,
20 porque no seréis vosotros los que habléis, sino que el Espíritu de vuestro Padre hablará por medio de vosotros.

Matthew 10:16-20 (NKJV)

16 Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves. Therefore be wise as serpents and harmless as doves.
17 But beware of men, for they will deliver you up to councils and scourge you in their synagogues.
18 You will be brought before governors and kings for My sake, as a testimony to them and to the Gentiles.
19 But when they deliver you up, do not worry about how or what you should speak. For it will be given to you in that hour what you should speak;
20 for it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father who speaks in you.

Psalms 42:1-8 (NKJV)

1 As the deer pants for the water brooks, So pants my soul for You, O God.
2 My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When shall I come and appear before God?
3 My tears have been my food day and night, While they continually say to me, “Where is your God?”
4 When I remember these things, I pour out my soul within me. For I used to go with the multitude; I went with them to the house of God, With the voice of joy and praise, With a multitude that kept a pilgrim feast.
5 Why are you cast down, O my soul? And why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God, for I shall yet praise Him For the help of His countenance.
6 O my God, my soul is cast down within me; Therefore I will remember You from the land of the Jordan, And from the heights of Hermon, From the Hill Mizar.
7 Deep calls unto deep at the noise of Your waterfalls; All Your waves and billows have gone over me.
8 The Lord will command His lovingkindness in the daytime, And in the night His song shall be with me— A prayer to the God of my life.
