He led them on safely

I lead in the way of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of judgment.2

Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared.3  In all their affliction he was afflicted, and the angel of his presence saved them: in his love and in his pity he redeemed them; and he bare them, and carried them all the days of old.4

They got not the land in possession by their own sword, neither did their own arm save them: but thy right hand, and thine arm, and the light of thy countenance, because thou hadst a favor unto them.5  So didst thou lead thy people, to make thyself a glorious name.6

Lead me, O Lord, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies; make thy way straight before my face.7  O send out thy light and thy truth: let them lead me; let them bring me unto thy holy hill, and to thy tabernacles. Then will I go unto the altar of God, unto God my exceeding joy: yea, upon the harp will I praise thee, O God my God.8

Faithful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God.1

I beseech you, ... brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.2 As ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness.3 In Christ Jesus neither circum-cision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature. And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy.4

Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.5 I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.6
