Where the words and safeguards come from.

Jesus' recorded words are presented as direct quotations only when they are words attributed to Jesus in the canonical Gospels. Christlight reflections are original and labeled. Teaching-publication approval is recorded for the v0.3 edition; that is not church doctrinal or governance adoption. Asset, font and World English Bible rights checks remain open.

Jesus' recorded words: World English Bible

Short quotations use the World English Bible, a public-domain translation. The translation name is used as “World English Bible.” Verified 8 November 2026 against WEB text for John 8:32, Matthew 5:14, Luke 6:31 and Matthew 7:16. See eBible.org public-domain notice and translation-name terms (T7). This page links for attribution; the site does not load eBible at runtime.

  • T1 — John 8:31-36: discipleship, truth and freedom (quote 8:32)
  • T2 — Matthew 5:14-16: light and visible works (quote 5:14)
  • T3 — Luke 6:27-36: love, generosity and mercy (quote 6:31)
  • T4 — Matthew 7:15-27: fruit, judgment and doing the teaching (quote 7:16)

Week 4 Gospel range is normalized to the experience-kit context Matthew 7:15-27 (quotation Matthew 7:16). The executive-summary table listed Matthew 7:16-27; the wider kit range is used here.

External guardrails, not sources of Christlight doctrine

G1 American Psychiatric Association, What Are Anxiety Disorders?; G2 NIMH, Generalized Anxiety Disorder. They support distinguishing fear/anxiety from appropriate care; they do not validate the Loving Embrace as a clinical intervention. E1 supports respectful treatment of evangelical diversity, not a psychological profile.
