Ephesians 5.15: See that you carefully walk all around, not as the unwise but as the wise, ransoming the time because the days are ponerai [hurtful]. Because of this, don’t be foolish but rather understanding what is the thelema [determination, choice, decision, decree] of the Kuriou [Lord, Master]. Don’t be drunk with wine (in which is debauchery) but be totally filled by the Hagios [holy, sacred] Pneuma [Spirit, Ghost]; speaking to yourselves in psalmois, humnois, adontes [singing] praises [to God] and pneumatikais [spiritual] odais [songs]; adontes and psallontes in your heart to the Kurio; always eucharistountes [expressing gratitude, giving thanks] for all in the name of our Kuriou Jesus, the Christou [Anointed One, Messiah, Christ], to Theos (even the Father), being subject to one another in the fear of Theos. 

Colossians 3.12: Accordingly, dress yourself in the manner of the chosen of Theos: hagioi [holy, sacred, consecrated ones; saints] and egapemenoi [unconditionally loved], splen [spleen, guts, bowels, sympathy] of oiktirmon, [pity], chrestoteta [usefulness], humility, gentleness, makrothumian [forbearance, patience]; enduring one another and forgiving yourselves. In case anyone (toward any) has a complaint, just as (in fact) the Christos forgave you, so also should you. Above all these things, put on agapen which is the perfect bond. Let the peace of Theos rule in your hearts (to which indeed you were called in one somati [body]) and be eucharistoi [grateful, thankful]. Let the Logos [Word] of the Christou copiously dwell in you, teaching and nouthetountes [calling attention to, warning, cautioning, admonishing] yourselves in psalmois, humnos and pneumatikais odais in your hearts in chariti [thankfullness] to the Kurio. Everything, whatever you do in logos or in work, do all in the name [authority] of the Kuriou Jesus. Eucharistountes [express gratitude, give thanks] via Him to our Theos and Father. 

Acts 16.22: And the magistrates, tearing their clothes off them, ordered the lictors to flog them (Paul and Silas) with rods. They were both imposing many strokes on them and throwing them into a place of confinement, charging the jailer securely to guard them, who accepting this sort of charge, threw them into the interior keep [cell] and rendered their feet secure into timber [stocks]. Now down to midnight, Paul and Silas proseuchomenoi [humbly begged God, prayed] and humnoun [hymned, sang praises] to Theos. Now, the other prisoners intently listened to them. Now, there unexpectedly was caused to be a megas earthquake such that the foundations of the place were broken open. Also, all the doors and all the shackles instantly were loosened. 

Hebrews 2.11: For both He [Jesus] hagiazon [making holy] and the One hagizoneboi [being made holy] are all of one for which reason He isn’t ashamed to call them brothers, saying, “I will announce Your name, Father, to My brothers and I will humneso you in the midst of the ekklesias [assembly, church].”

 

PSALM 22.22: [Jesus] “I will celebrate Your name to My brothers. I will halal [praise] You among the assembly.”

 

Ephesians 5.15: See that you carefully walk all around, not as the unwise but as the wise ones; ransoming the time because the days are ponerai [hurtful]. Because of this, don’t be foolish but rather understanding what is the thelema [determination, choice, decision, decree] of the Kuriou. Don’t be drunk with wine (in which is debauchery) but be totally filled by the Hagios Pneuma; speaking to yourselves in psalmois, humnois and pneumatikais odais; adontes and psallontes in your heart to the Kurio; always eucharistountes for all in the name of our Kuriou (Jesus the Christou) to Theos (even the Father) being subject to one another in the fear of Theos.

 

Mark 14.26: And having humnesantes [sung the “Hallel”, which means “praise”], they went forth into the Mount of Olives.

[The “Egyptian Hallel” {Psalms 113 through 118} is traditionally read or sung at the Passover supper.]
