Matthew 1:23

“The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel” which means, “God with us.”

NLT:  “Look!  The virgin will conceive a child!  She will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel, which means ‘God is with us.’”

Psalm 34:5

Those who look to him are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame.

NLT:  Those who look to him for help will be radiant with joy; no shadow of shame will darken their faces.

Colossians 2:6-7

So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.

NLT:  And now, just as you accepted Christ Jesus as your Lord, you must continue to follow him.  Let your roots grow down into him, and let your lives be built on him.  Then your faith will grow strong in the truth you were taught, and you will overflow with thankfulness.
