- For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus.
- God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
- Christ is the culmination of the law so that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes.
- He has saved us and called us to a holy life—not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace. This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time.
- Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.
- And every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father. - For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and him crucified.
- These are the things God has revealed to us by his Spirit. The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.
- But the gift is not like the trespass. For if the many died by the trespass of the one man, how much more did God’s grace and the gift that came by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, overflow to the many!
- And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.
- Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.
- Or don’t you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?
- I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
- All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: “The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel” (which means “God with us”).
- We have come to share in Christ, if indeed we hold our original conviction firmly to the very end.
- But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ.
- Rather, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not think about how to gratify the desires of the flesh.
- But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved.
- Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ.
- You who are trying to be justified by the law have been alienated from Christ; you have fallen away from grace.
- Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!
- Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves.
- This is how the birth of Jesus the Messiah came about: His mother Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be pregnant through the Holy Spirit.
- May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.
- It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.
But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere.
