The Word for Sunday, 18 May 2025

English Standard Version

The righteous is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers.

Psalm 1:3

Christ says:

Whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never be thirsty again. The water that I will give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.

John 4:14

Psalm 1 (English Standard Version)

1 Blessed is the man
who walks not in the counsel of the wicked,
nor stands in the way of sinners,
nor sits in the seat of scoffers;
2 but his delight is in the law of the Lord,
and on his law he meditates day and night.
3 He is like a tree
planted by streams of water
that yields its fruit in its season,
and its leaf does not wither.
In all that he does, he prospers.
4 The wicked are not so,
but are like chaff that the wind drives away.
5 Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment,
nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous;
6 for the Lord knows the way of the righteous,
but the way of the wicked will perish.

John 4 (English Standard Version)

11 The woman said to him, “Sir, you have nothing to draw water with, and the well is deep. Where do you get that living water?
12 Are you greater than our father Jacob? He gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did his sons and his livestock.”
13 Jesus said to her,
“Everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again,
14 but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never be thirsty again. The water that I will give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”
15 The woman said to him, “Sir, give me this water, so that I will not be thirsty or have to come here to draw water.”
16 Jesus said to her,
“Go, call your husband, and come here.”
17 The woman answered him, “I have no husband.” Jesus said to her,
“You are right in saying, ‘I have no husband’;

They're like trees growing by flowing rivers, producing fruit every season. Their leaves never wither, and they are successful in all they do.

Psalm 1:3

Jesus said:

Those who drink the water I give won't ever be thirsty again. The water I give becomes a bubbling spring of water inside them, bringing them eternal life.

John 4:14

Psalm 1 (Free Bible Version)

1 Happy are those who don't follow the advice of the wicked. They refuse to adopt the ways of sinful people, and they don't make fun of others.
2 Instead they love to do what the law of the Lord says, and they think about it day and night.
3 They're like trees growing by flowing rivers, producing fruit every season. Their leaves never wither, and they are successful in all they do.
4 But it's not like that for the wicked! They are like chaff, blown away by the wind.
5 For this reason the wicked will not survive the judgment—sinners have no place among those who live right.
6 For the Lord watches over those who follow the right way, but the way of the wicked leads to death.

11 “Sir, you don't have a bucket, and the well is deep. Where are you going to get the water of life from?” she replied.

13 Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks water from this well will become thirsty again.
14 But those who drink the water I give won't ever be thirsty again. The water I give becomes a bubbling spring of water inside them, bringing them eternal life.”

16 “Go and call your husband, and come back here,” Jesus told her.
