- Christ is the culmination of the law so that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes.
- Being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.
- Therefore, since Christ suffered in his body, arm yourselves also with the same attitude, because whoever suffers in the body is done with sin.
- 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.
- To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.
- So that, just as sin reigned in death, so also grace might reign through righteousness to bring eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
- Or don’t you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?
- May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.
- Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.
- Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful.
- Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.
- God is faithful, who has called you into fellowship with his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
- Rather, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not think about how to gratify the desires of the flesh.
- But Scripture has locked up everything under the control of sin, so that what was promised, being given through faith in Jesus Christ, might be given to those who believe.
- Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves. Do you not realize that Christ Jesus is in you—unless, of course, you fail the test?
- I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing!
- You who are trying to be justified by the law have been alienated from Christ; you have fallen away from grace.
- I am torn between the two: I desire to depart and be with Christ, which is better by far; but it is more necessary for you that I remain in the body.
- Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.”
- 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.
- 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.
- May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.
- May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you the same attitude of mind toward each other that Christ Jesus had.
- Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ.
Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body, so it is with Christ.For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him.
