For having circumcision is nothing, and not having circumcision is nothing, but only a new order of existence.

For this cause the Lord himself will give you a sign; a young woman is now with child, and she will give birth to a son, and she will give him the name Immanuel.

So that you are no longer a servant, but a son; and if a son, then the heritage of God is yours.

For all those of you who were given baptism into Christ did put on Christ.There is no Jew or Greek, servant or free, male or female: because you are all one in Jesus Christ.

To him who overcomes I will give a place with me on my high seat, even as I overcame, and am seated with my Father on his high seat.

For as the heaven is high over the earth, so great is his mercy to his worshippers.As far as the east is from the west, so far has he put our sins from us.

Who gave himself for our sins, so that he might make us free from this present evil world, after the purpose of our God and Father:

Praise be to God for what he has given, which words have no power to say.

Give, and it will be given to you; good measure, crushed down, full and running over, they will give to you. For in the same measure as you give, it will be given to you again.

But the end of all things is near: so be serious in your behaviour and keep on the watch with prayer;And most of all be warm in your love for one another; because in love there is forgiveness for sins without number:

In whom we have salvation through his blood, the forgiveness of our sins, through the wealth of his grace,

To him who overcomes I will give a place with me on my high seat, even as I overcame, and am seated with my Father on his high seat.

(For we are walking by faith, not by seeing,)

For him who had no knowledge of sin God made to be sin for us; so that we might become the righteousness of God in him.

For our present trouble, which is only for a short time, is working out for us a much greater weight of glory;

But praise be to God who makes us strong to overcome in Christ, and makes clear through us in every place the value of the knowledge of him.

For he is the Yes to all the undertakings of God: and by him all the words of God are made certain and put into effect, to the glory of God through us.

Who gives us comfort in all our troubles, so that we may be able to give comfort to others who are in trouble, through the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.

Truly I say to you, He who puts his faith in me will do the very works which I do, and he will do greater things than these, because I am going to my Father.

For as in Adam death comes to all, so in Christ will all come back to life.

And if there is pain in one part of the body, all the parts will be feeling it; or if one part is honoured, all the parts will be glad.

If a child is trained up in the right way, even when he is old he will not be turned away from it.

My little children, do not let our love be in word and in tongue, but let it be in act and in good faith.

But now we still have faith, hope, love, these three; and the greatest of these is love.

Because, if you say with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and have faith in your heart that God has made him come back from the dead, you will have salvation:For with the heart man has faith to get righteousness, and with the mouth he says that Jesus is Lord to get salvation.

Brothers, it is clear to me that I have not come to that knowledge; but one thing I do, letting go those things which are past, and stretching out to the things which are before, I go forward to the mark, even the reward of the high purpose of God in Christ Jesus.

Make clear his glory to the nations, and his wonders to all the peoples.

And if there is pain in one part of the body, all the parts will be feeling it; or if one part is honoured, all the parts will be glad.

You have been put to no test but such as is common to man: and God is true, who will not let any test come on you which you are not able to undergo; but he will make with the test a way out of it, so that you may be able to go through it.

So then, if it is a question of food or drink, or any other thing, whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.

Take on yourselves one another's troubles, and so keep the law of Christ.

For the love of money is a root of all evil: and some whose hearts were fixed on it have been turned away from the faith, and been wounded with unnumbered sorrows.

But if anyone has love for God, God has knowledge of him.

I am free to do all things; but not all things are wise. I am free to do all things; but I will not let myself come under the power of any.

Do you not see that you are God's holy house, and that the Spirit of God has his place in you?

But as it says in the holy Writings, Things which the eye saw not, and which had not come to the ears or into the heart of man, such things as God has made ready for those who have love for him.

For the word of the cross seems foolish to those who are on the way to destruction; but to us who are on the way to salvation it is the power of God.

And if Christ did not come again from the dead, then our good news and your faith in it are of no effect.

Now to him who is able to make you strong in agreement with the good news which I gave you and the preaching of Jesus Christ, in the light of the revelation of that secret which has been kept through times eternal

He makes your mouth full of good things, so that your strength is made new again like the eagle's.

Now may the God of hope make you full of joy and peace through faith, so that all hope may be yours in the power of the Holy Spirit.

For the kingdom of God is not food and drink, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.

Be in debt for nothing, but to have love for one another: for he who has love for his neighbour has kept all the law.

Do not give evil for evil to any man. Let all your business be well ordered in the eyes of all men.

For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things. To him be the glory for ever. So be it.

For this reason I make request to you, brothers, by the mercies of God, that you will give your bodies as a living offering, holy, pleasing to God, which is the worship it is right for you to give him.

And in the same way the Spirit is a help to our feeble hearts: for we are not able to make prayer to God in the right way; but the Spirit puts our desires into words which are not in our power to say;

But now we are free from the law, having been made dead to that which had power over us; so that we are servants in the new way of the spirit, not in the old way of the letter.

But the land where you are going is a land of hills and valleys, drinking in the rain of heaven: A land cared for by the Lord your God: the eyes of the Lord your God are on it at all times from one end of the year to the other.

For, if we have been made like him in his death, we will, in the same way, be like him in his coming to life again;

Who was put to death for our evil-doing, and came to life again so that we might have righteousness.

Brothers, it is clear to me that I have not come to that knowledge; but one thing I do, letting go those things which are past, and stretching out to the things which are before, I go forward to the mark, even the reward of the high purpose of God in Christ Jesus.
