Luke 1:77
75 in holiness and righteousness before Him all the days of our lives.
76 And you, child, will be called a prophet of the Most High; for you will go on before the Lord to prepare the way for Him,
to give to His people the knowledge of salvation through the forgiveness of their sins,
78 because of the tender mercy of our God, by which the Dawn will visit us from on high,
79 to shine on those who live in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the path of peace.”
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
