In
Him We Are
Accepted:
Eph 2:13
13 But now in
Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of
Christ.
(KJV)
Eph 1:4-7
4 According
as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should
be holy and without blame before him in love:
5 Having
predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself,
according to the good pleasure of his will,
6 To the
praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the
beloved.
7 In whom we
have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the
riches of his grace;
(KJV)
1 Tim 1:14-15
14 And the grace
of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ
Jesus.
15 This is a
faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the
world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.
(KJV)
Made
Alive:
Rom 8:1-2
1 There is
therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not
after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
2 For the law
of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law
of sin and death.
(KJV)
Eph 2:4-5
4 But God, who
is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,
5 Even when we
were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are
saved;)
(KJV)
1 Cor 15:22
22 For as in
Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made
alive.
(KJV)
Acts 17:28
28 For in him we
live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have
said, For we are also his offspring.
(KJV)
John 1:1-5
1 In the
beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 The same was
in the beginning with God.
3 All things
were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
4 In him was
life; and the life was the light of men.
5 And the
light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
(KJV)
Col 2:9-15
9 For in him
dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
10 And ye are
complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:
11 In whom also
ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the
body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ:
12 Buried with
him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the
operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.
13 And you,
being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened
together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;
14 Blotting out
the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us,
and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;
15 And having
spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing
over them in it.
(KJV)
I Jn 3:14-15
14 We know that
we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that
loveth not his brother abideth in death.
15 Whosoever
hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal
life abiding in him.
(KJV)
I Jn 4:5-10
5 They are of
the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them.
6 We are of
God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us.
Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.
7 Beloved,
let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born
of God, and knoweth God.
8 He that
loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
9 In this was
manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten
Son into the world, that we might live through him.
10 Herein is
love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the
propitiation for our sins.
(KJV)
I Jn 5:1
1 Whosoever
believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth
him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him.
(KJV)
I Jn 5:11-12
11 And this is
the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his
Son.
12 He that hath
the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.
(KJV)
I Jn 5:20
20 And we know
that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may
know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus
Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.
(KJV)
Saved:
2 Tim 3:14-17
14 But continue
thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of
whom thou hast learned them;
15 And that from
a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise
unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
16 All scripture
is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof,
for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
17 That the man
of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.
(KJV)
II Jn 1:9-11
9 Whosoever
transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that
abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.
10 If there come
any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house,
neither bid him God speed:
11 For he that
biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.
(KJV)
John 3:15-21
15 That
whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
16 For God so
loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth
in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17 For God sent
not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him
might be saved.
18 He that
believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned
already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of
God.
19 And this is
the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness
rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
20 For every one
that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds
should be reproved.
21 But he that
doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they
are wrought in God.
(KJV)
Eph 1:4-5
4 According
as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should
be holy and without blame before him in love:
5 Having
predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself,
according to the good pleasure of his will,
(KJV)
Eph 1:10
10 That in the
dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things
in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:
(KJV)
Col 2:1-3:25
1 For I would
that ye knew what great conflict I have for you, and for them at Laodicea, and
for as many as have not seen my face in the flesh;
2 That their
hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of
the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of
God, and of the Father, and of Christ;
3 In whom are
hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
4 And this I
say, lest any man should beguile you with enticing words.
5 For though I
be absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in the spirit, joying and beholding
your order, and the stedfastness of your faith in Christ.
6 As ye have
therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him:
7 Rooted and
built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding
therein with thanksgiving.
8 Beware
lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition
of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
9 For in him
dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
10 And ye are
complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:
11 In whom also
ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the
body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ:
12 Buried with
him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the
operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.
13 And you,
being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened
together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;
14 Blotting out
the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us,
and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;
15 And having
spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing
over them in it.
16 Let no man
therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of
the new moon, or of the sabbath days:
17 Which are a
shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.
18 Let no man
beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels,
intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his
fleshly mind,
19 And not
holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having
nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God.
20 Wherefore
if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though
living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances,
21 (Touch not;
taste not; handle not;
22 Which all are
to perish with the using;) after the commandments and doctrines of men?
23 Which things
have indeed a shew of wisdom in will worship, and humility, and neglecting of
the body; not in any honour to the satisfying of the flesh.
CHAPTER 3
1 If ye then
be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth
on the right hand of God.
2 Set your
affection on things above, not on things on the earth.
3 For ye are
dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.
4 When Christ,
who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.
5 Mortify
therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness,
inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:
6 For which
things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience:
7 In the which
ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them.
8 But now ye
also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication
out of your mouth.
9 Lie not one
to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds;
10 And have put
on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that
created him:
11 Where there
is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian,
bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all.
12 Put on
therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness,
humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;
13 Forbearing
one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any:
even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.
14 And above all
these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.
15 And let the
peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body;
and be ye thankful.
16 Let the word
of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one
another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your
hearts to the Lord.
17 And
whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving
thanks to God and the Father by him.
18 Wives, submit
yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord.
19 Husbands,
love your wives, and be not bitter against them.
20 Children,
obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord.
21 Fathers,
provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged.
22 Servants,
obey in all things your masters according to the flesh; not with eyeservice, as
menpleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God:
23 And
whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;
24 Knowing
that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve
the Lord Christ.
25 But he that
doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done: and there is no
respect of persons.
(KJV)
Col 1:9-13
9 For this
cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to
desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and
spiritual understanding;
10 That ye might
walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work,
and increasing in the knowledge of God;
11 Strengthened
with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and
longsuffering with joyfulness;
12 Giving thanks
unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of
the saints in light:
13 Who hath
delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the
kingdom of his dear Son:
(KJV)
New
Creatures:
2 Cor 5:17-21
17 Therefore
if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away;
behold, all things are become new.
18 And all
things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath
given to us the ministry of reconciliation;
19 To wit, that
God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their
trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.
20 Now then we
are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in
Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God.
21 For he hath
made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the
righteousness of God in him.
(KJV)
Gal 6:12-16
12 As many as
desire to make a fair shew in the flesh, they constrain you to be circumcised;
only lest they should suffer persecution for the cross of Christ.
13 For neither
they themselves who are circumcised keep the law; but desire to have you
circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh.
14 But God
forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom
the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.
15 For in Christ
Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new
creature.
16 And as many
as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the
Israel of God.
(KJV)
Eph 2:8-10
8 For by grace
are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9 Not of
works, lest any man should boast.
10 For we are
his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before
ordained that we should walk in them.
(KJV)
Phil 1:6
6 Being
confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will
perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:
(KJV)
Abide In
Him:
I Jn 3:23-24
23 And this is
his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ,
and love one another, as he gave us commandment.
24 And he that
keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know
that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.
(KJV)
I Jn 4:9-16
9 In this was
manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten
Son into the world, that we might live through him.
10 Herein is
love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the
propitiation for our sins.
11 Beloved,
if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.
12 No man hath
seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love
is perfected in us.
13 Hereby know
we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit.
14 And we have
seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the
world.
15 Whosoever
shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.
16 And we have
known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that
dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.
(KJV)
I Jn 5:20
20 And we know
that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may
know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus
Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.
(KJV)
Sealed:
2 Cor 1:20-22
20 For all the
promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.
21 Now he which
stablisheth us with you in Christ, and hath anointed us, is God;
22 Who hath also
sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.
(KJV)
Eph 1:13-14
13 In whom ye
also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your
salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy
Spirit of promise,
14 Which is the
earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession,
unto the praise of his glory.
(KJV)
I Jn 3:23-24
23 And this is
his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ,
and love one another, as he gave us commandment.
24 And he that
keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know
that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.
(KJV)
Justified:
Rom 3:24-25
24 Being justified
freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
25 Whom God hath
set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his
righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance
of God;
(KJV)
Rom 3:21-25
21 But now the
righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law
and the prophets;
22 Even the
righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all
them that believe: for there is no difference:
23 For all have
sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
24 Being
justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
25 Whom God hath
set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his
righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance
of God;
(KJV)
Rom 5:1-13
1 Therefore
being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:
2 By whom also
we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope
of the glory of God.
3 And not only
so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh
patience;
4 And
patience, experience; and experience, hope:
5 And hope
maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the
Holy Ghost which is given unto us.
6 For when we
were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.
7 For scarcely
for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would
even dare to die.
8 But God
commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died
for us.
9 Much more
then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through
him.
10 For if, when
we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more,
being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.
11 And not only
so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now
received the atonement.
12 Wherefore,
as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed
upon all men, for that all have sinned:
13 (For until
the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law.
(KJV)
Rom 5:14-21
14 Nevertheless
death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the
similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come.
15 But not as
the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many
be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one
man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.
16 And not as it
was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one to
condemnation, but the free gift is of many offences unto justification.
17 For if by one
man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of
grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus
Christ.)
18 Therefore
as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by
the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of
life.
19 For as by one
man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall
many be made righteous.
20 Moreover
the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace
did much more abound:
21 That as sin
hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto
eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.
(KJV)
Rom 8:30-39
30 Moreover
whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also
justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.
31 What shall we
then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?
32 He that
spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with
him also freely give us all things?
33 Who shall lay
any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth.
34 Who is he
that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who
is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.
35 Who shall
separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or
persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
36 As it is
written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep
for the slaughter.
37 Nay, in all
these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
38 For I am
persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor
powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
39 Nor height,
nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love
of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
(KJV)
Gal 2:16-21
16 Knowing
that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus
Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by
the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the
law shall no flesh be justified.
17 But if, while
we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is
therefore Christ the minister of sin? God forbid.
18 For if I
build again the things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor.
19 For I through
the law am dead to the law, that I might live unto God.
20 I am
crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me:
and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of
God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
21 I do not
frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ
is dead in vain.
(KJV)
Redeemed:
Col 1:12-14
12 Giving thanks
unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of
the saints in light:
13 Who hath
delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the
kingdom of his dear Son:
14 In whom we
have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:
(KJV)
1 Cor 1:30
30 But of him
are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom,
and righteousness,
and sanctification,
and redemption:
(KJV)
Rom 3:21-25
21 But now the
righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law
and the prophets;
22 Even the
righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all
them that believe: for there is no difference:
23 For all have
sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
24 Being
justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
25 Whom God hath
set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his
righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance
of God;
(KJV)
Rom 5:1-13
1 Therefore
being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:
2 By whom also
we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope
of the glory of God.
3 And not only
so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh
patience;
4 And
patience, experience; and experience, hope:
5 And hope
maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the
Holy Ghost which is given unto us.
6 For when we
were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.
7 For scarcely
for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would
even dare to die.
8 But God
commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died
for us.
9 Much more
then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through
him.
10 For if, when
we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more,
being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.
11 And not only
so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now
received the atonement.
12 Wherefore,
as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed
upon all men, for that all have sinned:
13 (For until
the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law.
(KJV)
Rom 5:14-21
14 Nevertheless
death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the
similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come.
15 But not as
the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many
be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one
man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.
16 And not as it
was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one to
condemnation, but the free gift is of many offences unto justification.
17 For if by one
man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of
grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus
Christ.)
18 Therefore
as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by
the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of
life.
19 For as by one
man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall
many be made righteous.
20 Moreover
the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace
did much more abound:
21 That as sin
hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto
eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.
(KJV)
Reconciled:
2 Cor 5:17-21
17 Therefore
if any man be in Christ, he is a new
creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
18 And all
things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus
Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;
19 To wit, that
God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their
trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.
20 Now then we
are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in
Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God.
21 For he hath
made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the
righteousness of God in him.
(KJV)
Eph 2:11-22
11 Wherefore
remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called
Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by
hands;
12 That at that
time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and
strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the
world:
13 But now in
Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of
Christ.
14 For he is our
peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of
partition between us;
15 Having
abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in
ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace;
16 And that he
might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity
thereby:
17 And came and
preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh.
18 For through
him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.
19 Now therefore
ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints,
and of the household of God;
20 And are built
upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being
the chief corner stone;
21 In whom all
the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord:
22 In whom ye
also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.
(KJV)
Col 1:20-23
20 And, having
made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto
himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.
21 And you, that
were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath
he reconciled
22 In the body
of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and
unreproveable in his sight:
23 If ye
continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope
of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature
which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister;
(KJV)
Rom 5:1-13
1 Therefore
being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:
2 By whom also
we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope
of the glory of God.
3 And not only
so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh
patience;
4 And
patience, experience; and experience, hope:
5 And hope
maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the
Holy Ghost which is given unto us.
6 For when we
were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.
7 For scarcely
for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would
even dare to die.
8 But God
commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died
for us.
9 Much more
then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through
him.
10 For if, when
we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more,
being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.
11 And not only
so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now
received the atonement.
12 Wherefore,
as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed
upon all men, for that all have sinned:
13 (For until
the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law.
(KJV)
Rom 5:14-21
14 Nevertheless
death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the
similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come.
15 But not as
the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many
be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one
man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.
16 And not as it
was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one to
condemnation, but the free gift is of many offences unto justification.
17 For if by one
man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of
grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus
Christ.)
18 Therefore
as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by
the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of
life.
19 For as by one
man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall
many be made righteous.
20 Moreover
the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace
did much more abound:
21 That as sin
hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto
eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.
(KJV)
Sanctified:
1 Cor 1:2
2 Unto the
church of God which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus,
called to be saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus
Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours:
(KJV)
1 Cor 1:30
30 But of him
are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom,
and righteousness,
and sanctification,
and redemption:
(KJV)
I Jn 3:1-6
1 Behold,
what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called
the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.
2 Beloved,
now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we
know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as
he is.
3 And every
man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.
4 Whosoever
committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the
law.
5 And ye know
that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.
6 Whosoever
abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known
him.
(KJV)
Righteous:
1 Cor 1:30
30 But of him
are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom,
and righteousness,
and sanctification,
and redemption:
(KJV)
2 Cor 5:17-21
17 Therefore
if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away;
behold, all things are become new.
18 And all
things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath
given to us the ministry of reconciliation;
19 To wit, that
God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their
trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.
20 Now then we
are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in
Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God.
21 For he hath
made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God
in him.
(KJV)
Phil 3:7-10
7 But what
things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ.
8 Yea
doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge
of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and
do count them but dung, that I may win Christ,
9 And be found
in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which
is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:
10 That I may
know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his
sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;
(KJV)
Phil 1:9-11
9 And this I
pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all
judgment;
10 That ye may
approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offence
till the day of Christ;
11 Being filled
with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and
praise of God.
(KJV)
Rom 3:21-25
21 But now the
righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law
and the prophets;
22 Even the
righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all
them that believe: for there is no difference:
23 For all have
sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
24 Being
justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
25 Whom God hath
set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his
righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance
of God;
(KJV)
Rom 5:1-13
1 Therefore
being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:
2 By whom also
we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope
of the glory of God.
3 And not only
so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh
patience;
4 And
patience, experience; and experience, hope:
5 And hope
maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the
Holy Ghost which is given unto us.
6 For when we
were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.
7 For scarcely
for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would
even dare to die.
8 But God
commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died
for us.
9 Much more
then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.
10 For if, when
we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more,
being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.
11 And not only
so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now
received the atonement.
12 Wherefore,
as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed
upon all men, for that all have sinned:
13 (For until
the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law.
(KJV)
Rom 5:14-21
14 Nevertheless
death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the
similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come.
15 But not as
the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many
be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one
man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.
16 And not as it
was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one to
condemnation, but the free gift is of many offences unto justification.
17 For if by one
man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of
grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus
Christ.)
18 Therefore
as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by
the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of
life.
19 For as by one
man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall
many be made righteous.
20 Moreover
the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace
did much more abound:
21 That as sin
hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto
eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.
(KJV)
No
Sin:
I Jn 3:1-6
1 Behold,
what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called
the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.
2 Beloved,
now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we
know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as
he is.
3 And every
man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.
4 Whosoever
committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the
law.
5 And ye know
that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.
6 Whosoever
abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known
him.
(KJV)
The
Forgiven:
I Jn 1:5-2:11
5 This then is
the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is
light, and in him is no darkness at all.
6 If we say
that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the
truth:
7 But if we
walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another,
and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
8 If we say
that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
9 If we
confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to
cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
10 If we say
that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
CHAPTER 2
1 My little
children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin,
we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:
2 And he is
the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of
the whole world.
3 And hereby
we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
4 He that
saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth
is not in him.
5 But whoso
keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we
that we are in him.
6 He that
saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.
7 Brethren,
I write no new commandment unto you, but an old commandment which ye had from
the beginning. The old commandment is the word which ye have heard from the
beginning.
8 Again, a new
commandment I write unto you, which thing is true in him and in you: because
the darkness is past, and the true light now shineth.
9 He that
saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until
now.
10 He that
loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is none occasion of stumbling
in him.
11 But he that
hateth his brother is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and knoweth not
whither he goeth, because that darkness hath blinded his eyes.
(KJV)
Col 2:9-15
9 For in him
dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
10 And ye are
complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:
11 In whom also
ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the
body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ:
12 Buried with
him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the
operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.
13 And you,
being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened
together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;
14 Blotting out
the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us,
and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;
15 And having
spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing
over them in it.
(KJV)
Confidence
We Have In Him :
I Jn 5:14-15
14 And this is
the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his
will, he heareth us:
15 And if we
know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions
that we desired of him.
(KJV)
One Body:
Rom 12:4-5
4 For as we
have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office:
5 So we, being
many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.
(KJV)
Gal 3:28
28 There is
neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male
nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
(KJV)
Eph 2:18-22
18 For through
him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.
19 Now therefore
ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints,
and of the household of God;
20 And are built
upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being
the chief corner stone;
21 In whom all
the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord:
22 In whom ye
also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.
(KJV)
Eph 4:8-16
8 Wherefore
he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts
unto men.
9 (Now that he
ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of
the earth?
10 He that
descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he
might fill all things.)
11 And he gave
some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors
and teachers;
12 For the
perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the
body of Christ:
13 Till we all
come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a
perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:
14 That we
henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every
wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they
lie in wait to deceive;
15 But speaking
the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even
Christ:
16 From whom the
whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint
supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part,
maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.
(KJV)
Heirs
2 Cor 1:20-22
20 For all the
promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.
21 Now he which
stablisheth us with you in Christ, and hath anointed us, is God;
22 Who hath also
sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.
(KJV)
Gal 3:26-4:7
26 For ye are all
the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.
27 For as many
of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
28 There is
neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male
nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
29 And if ye be
Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.
CHAPTER 4
1 Now I say,
That the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant,
though he be lord of all;
2 But is under
tutors and governors until the time appointed of the father.
3 Even so we,
when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world:
4 But when the
fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made
under the law,
5 To redeem
them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.
6 And because
ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts,
crying, Abba, Father.
7 Wherefore
thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God
through Christ.
(KJV)
Eph 1:1-23
1 Paul, an
apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the saints which are at Ephesus,
and to the faithful in Christ Jesus:
2 Grace be to
you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 Blessed be
the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all
spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:
4 According
as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should
be holy and without blame before him in love:
5 Having
predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself,
according to the good pleasure of his will,
6 To the
praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the
beloved.
7 In whom we
have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the
riches of his grace;
8 Wherein he
hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence;
9 Having made
known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he
hath purposed in himself:
10 That in the
dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things
in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:
11 In whom also
we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose
of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:
12 That we
should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.
13 In whom ye
also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your
salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy
Spirit of promise,
14 Which is the
earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession,
unto the praise of his glory.
15 Wherefore
I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the
saints,
16 Cease not to
give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers;
17 That the God
of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of
wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:
18 The eyes of
your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling,
and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,
19 And what is
the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the
working of his mighty power,
20 Which he
wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own
right hand in the heavenly places,
21 Far above all
principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named,
not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:
22 And hath put
all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the
church,
23 Which is his
body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.
(KJV)
Eph 2:5-7
5 Even when we
were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are
saved;)
6 And hath
raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ
Jesus:
7 That in the
ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness
toward us through Christ Jesus.
(KJV)
Eph 3:5-6
5 Which in
other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto
his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;
6 That the
Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his
promise in Christ by the gospel:
(KJV)
Col 1:25-29
25 Whereof I
am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me
for you, to fulfil the word of God;
26 Even the
mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made
manifest to his saints:
27 To whom God
would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the
Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:
28 Whom we
preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may
present every man perfect in Christ Jesus:
29 Whereunto
I also labour, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily.
(KJV)
Col 1:9-13
9 For this
cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to
desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and
spiritual understanding;
10 That ye might
walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work,
and increasing in the knowledge of God;
11 Strengthened
with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and
longsuffering with joyfulness;
12 Giving thanks
unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of
the saints in light:
13 Who hath
delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the
kingdom of his dear Son:
(KJV)
Called:
1 Tim 1:14-15
14 And the grace
of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ
Jesus.
15 This is a
faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the
world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.
(KJV)
2 Tim 1:9-11
9 Who hath
saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but
according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus
before the world began,
10 But is now
made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished
death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel:
11 Whereunto
I am appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles.
11 Whereunto
I am appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles.
12 For the which
cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know
whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I
have committed unto him against that day.
13 Hold fast the
form of sound words, which thou hast heard of me, in faith and love which is in
Christ Jesus.
14 That good
thing which was committed unto thee keep by the Holy Ghost which dwelleth in
us.
(KJV)
2 Tim 2:1-7
1 Thou
therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
2 And the
things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to
faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.
3 Thou
therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
4 No man that
warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please
him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.
5 And if a man
also strive for masteries, yet is he not crowned, except he strive lawfully.
6 The
husbandman that laboureth must be first partaker of the fruits.
7 Consider
what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things.
(KJV)
2 Tim 2:10-16
10 Therefore
I endure all things for the elect's sakes, that they may also obtain the
salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.
11 It is a
faithful saying: For if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him:
12 If we suffer,
we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us:
13 If we believe
not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself.
14 Of these
things put them in remembrance, charging them before the Lord that they strive
not about words to no profit, but to the subverting of the hearers.
15 Study to shew
thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly
dividing the word of truth.
16 But shun
profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.
(KJV)
Eph 1:11
11 In whom also
we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose
of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:
(KJV)
2 Pet 1:1-13
1 Simon Peter,
a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like
precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus
Christ:
2 Grace and
peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our
Lord,
3 According
as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and
godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and
virtue:
4 Whereby
are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might
be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the
world through lust.
5 And beside
this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;
6 And to
knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;
7 And to
godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.
8 For if these
things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor
unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9 But he that
lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that
he was purged from his old sins.
10 Wherefore
the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure:
for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:
11 For so an
entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom
of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
12 Wherefore
I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things,
though ye know them, and be established in the present truth.
13 Yea, I think
it meet, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting you in
remembrance;
(KJV)
Eph 1:4-5
4 According
as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should
be holy and without blame before him in love:
5 Having
predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself,
according to the good pleasure of his will,
(KJV)
Phil 3:7-21
7 But what
things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ.
8 Yea
doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge
of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and
do count them but dung, that I may win Christ,
9 And be found
in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which
is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:
10 That I may
know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his
sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;
11 If by any
means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead.
12 Not as though
I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if
that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus.
13 Brethren,
I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting
those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are
before,
14 I press
toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
15 Let us
therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be
otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you.
16 Nevertheless,
whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the
same thing.
17 Brethren,
be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an
ensample.
18 (For many
walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they
are the enemies of the cross of Christ:
19 Whose end is
destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who
mind earthly things.)
20 For our
conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord
Jesus Christ:
21 Who shall
change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body,
according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto
himself.
(KJV)
1 Cor 1:4-9
4 I thank my
God always on your behalf, for the grace of God which is given you by Jesus
Christ;
5 That in
every thing ye are enriched by him, in all utterance, and in all knowledge;
6 Even as the
testimony of Christ was confirmed in you:
7 So that ye
come behind in no gift; waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ:
8 Who shall
also confirm you unto the end, that ye may be blameless in the day of our Lord
Jesus Christ.
9 God is
faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ
our Lord.
(KJV)
Phil 2:5-13
5 Let this
mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
6 Who, being
in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
7 But made
himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made
in the likeness of men:
8 And being
found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death,
even the death of the cross.
9 Wherefore
God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every
name:
10 That at the
name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth,
and things under the earth;
11 And that
every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the
Father.
12 Wherefore,
my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much
more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
13 For it is God
which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.
(KJV)
Anointed:
CHAPTER 2
1 My little
children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin,
we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:
2 And he is
the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of
the whole world.
3 And hereby
we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
4 He that saith,
I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not
in him.
5 But whoso
keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we
that we are in him.
6 He that
saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.
7 Brethren,
I write no new commandment unto you, but an old commandment which ye had from
the beginning. The old commandment is the word which ye have heard from the
beginning.
8 Again, a new
commandment I write unto you, which thing is true in him and in you: because
the darkness is past, and the true light now shineth.
9 He that
saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until
now.
10 He that
loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is none occasion of
stumbling in him.
11 But he that
hateth his brother is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and knoweth not
whither he goeth, because that darkness hath blinded his eyes.
(KJV)
I Jn 2:20
20 But ye have
an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things.
(KJV)
I Jn 2:27-29
27 But the
anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that
any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is
truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.
28 And now,
little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have
confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.
29 If ye know
that he is righteous, ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of
him.
(KJV)
Triumphant:
2 Cor 2:14
14 Now thanks be
unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the
savour of his knowledge by us in every place.
(KJV)
Col 2:9-15
9 For in him
dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
10 And ye are
complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:
11 In whom also
ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the
body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ:
12 Buried with
him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the
operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.
13 And you,
being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened
together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;
14 Blotting out
the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us,
and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;
15 And having
spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing
over them in it.
(KJV)
I Jn 4:4
4 Ye are of
God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in
you, than he that is in the world.
(KJV)
I Jn 5:4-5
4 For
whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that
overcometh the world, even our faith.
5 Who is he
that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?
(KJV)
Rom 8:30-39
30 Moreover
whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also
justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.
31 What shall we
then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?
32 He that
spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with
him also freely give us all things?
33 Who shall lay
any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth.
34 Who is he
that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who
is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.
35 Who shall
separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or
persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
36 As it is
written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep
for the slaughter.
37 Nay, in all
these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
38 For I am
persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor
powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
39 Nor height,
nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love
of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
(KJV)
Perfect:
Eph 3:10-21
10 To the intent
that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known
by the church the manifold wisdom of God,
11 According
to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord:
12 In whom we
have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him.
13 Wherefore
I desire that ye faint not at my tribulations for you, which is your glory.
14 For this
cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
15 Of whom the
whole family in heaven and earth is named,
16 That he would
grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might
by his Spirit in the inner man;
17 That Christ
may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,
18 May be able
to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and
height;
19 And to know
the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all
the fulness of God.
20 Now unto him
that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think,
according to the power that worketh in us,
21 Unto him be
glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end.
Amen.
(KJV)
Phil 1:6
6 Being
confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will
perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:
(KJV)
Col 1:25-29
25 Whereof I
am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me
for you, to fulfil the word of God;
26 Even the
mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made
manifest to his saints:
27 To whom God
would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the
Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:
28 Whom we
preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may
present every man perfect in Christ Jesus:
29 Whereunto
I also labour, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily.
(KJV)
Col 2:6-7
6 As ye have
therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him:
7 Rooted and
built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding
therein with thanksgiving.
(KJV)
Col 2:9-10
9 For in him
dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
10 And ye are
complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:
(KJV)
I Jn 4:16-21
16 And we have
known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth
in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.
17 Herein is our
love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as
he is, so are we in this world.
18 There is no
fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He
that feareth is not made perfect in love.
19 We love him,
because he first loved us.
20 If a man say,
I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his
brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?
21 And this
commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.
(KJV)
Eph 4:8-16
8 Wherefore
he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts
unto men.
9 (Now that he
ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of
the earth?
10 He that
descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he
might fill all things.)
11 And he gave
some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors
and teachers;
12 For the
perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the
body of Christ:
13 Till we all
come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a
perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:
14 That we
henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every
wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they
lie in wait to deceive;
15 But speaking
the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even
Christ:
16 From whom the
whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint
supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part,
maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.
(KJV)
Changed
Into The Image Of The Lord:
2 Cor 3:9-18
9 For if the
ministration of condemnation be glory, much more doth the ministration of
righteousness exceed in glory.
10 For even that
which was made glorious had no glory in this respect, by reason of the glory
that excelleth.
11 For if that
which is done away was glorious, much more that which remaineth is glorious.
12 Seeing then
that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech:
13 And not as
Moses, which put a vail over his face, that the children of Israel could not
stedfastly look to the end of that which is abolished:
14 But their
minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in
the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in Christ.
15 But even unto
this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart.
16 Nevertheless
when it shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away.
17 Now the Lord
is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
18 But we all,
with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into
the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.
(KJV)
Col 1:25-29
25 Whereof I
am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me
for you, to fulfil the word of God;
26 Even the
mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made
manifest to his saints:
27 To whom God
would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the
Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:
28 Whom we
preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may
present every man perfect in Christ Jesus:
29 Whereunto
I also labour, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily.
(KJV)
1Thes 4:13-18
13 But I would
not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that
ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
14 For if we
believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus
will God bring with him.
15 For this we
say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto
the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
16 For the Lord
himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the
archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17 Then we which
are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to
meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
18 Wherefore
comfort one another with these words.
(KJV)
Eph 5:8
8 For ye were
sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of
light:
(KJV)
Eph 4:8-16
8 Wherefore
he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts
unto men.
9 (Now that he
ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of
the earth?
10 He that
descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he
might fill all things.)
11 And he gave
some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors
and teachers;
12 For the
perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the
body of Christ:
13 Till we all
come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a
perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:
14 That we
henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every
wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they
lie in wait to deceive;
15 But speaking
the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even
Christ:
16 From whom the
whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint
supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part,
maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.
(KJV)
Free And
Have Liberty:
2 Cor 3:17-18
17 Now the Lord
is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
18 But we all,
with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into
the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.
(KJV)
Gal 6:12-16
12 As many as
desire to make a fair shew in the flesh, they constrain you to be circumcised;
only lest they should suffer persecution for the cross of Christ.
13 For neither
they themselves who are circumcised keep the law; but desire to have you
circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh.
14 But God
forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom
the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.
15 For in Christ
Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new
creature.
16 And as many
as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the
Israel of God.
(KJV)
Gal 2:2-5
2 And I went
up by revelation, and communicated unto them that gospel which I preach among
the Gentiles, but privately to them which were of reputation, lest by any means
I should run, or had run, in vain.
3 But neither
Titus, who was with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised:
4 And that
because of false brethren unawares brought in, who came in privily to spy out our
liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might
bring us into bondage:
5 To whom we
gave place by subjection, no, not for an hour; that the
truth of the gospel might continue with you.
(KJV)
Gal 5:2-6
2 Behold, I
Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.
3 For I
testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the
whole law.
4 Christ is
become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are
fallen from grace.
5 For we
through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith.
6 For in Jesus
Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith
which worketh by love.
(KJV)
To Give
Thanks:
1Thes 5:14-24
14 Now we exhort
you, brethren, warn them that are unruly, comfort the feebleminded, support the
weak, be patient toward all men.
15 See that none
render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is good, both
among yourselves, and to all men.
16 Rejoice
evermore.
17 Pray without
ceasing.
18 In every
thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
19 Quench
not the Spirit.
20 Despise
not prophesyings.
21 Prove all
things; hold fast that which is good.
22 Abstain from
all appearance of evil.
23 And the very
God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and
body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
24 Faithful is
he that calleth you, who also will do it.
(KJV)
2 Cor 2:14
14 Now thanks be
unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the
savour of his knowledge by us in every place.
(KJV)
Col 1:9-14
9 For this
cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to
desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and
spiritual understanding;
10 That ye might
walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work,
and increasing in the knowledge of God;
11 Strengthened
with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and
longsuffering with joyfulness;
12 Giving thanks
unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of
the saints in light:
13 Who hath
delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the
kingdom of his dear Son:
14 In whom we
have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:
(KJV)
Sweet
Savour:
2 Cor 2:14-17
14 Now thanks be
unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the
savour of his knowledge by us in every place.
15 For we are
unto God a sweet savour of Christ, in them that are saved, and in them that
perish:
16 To the one we
are the savour of death unto death; and to the other the savour of life unto life.
And who is sufficient for these things?
17 For we are
not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God,
in the sight of God speak we in Christ.
(KJV)
Speak We:
2 Cor 2:14-17
14 Now thanks be
unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the
savour of his knowledge by us in every place.
15 For we are
unto God a sweet savour of Christ, in them that are saved, and in them that
perish:
16 To the one we
are the savour of death unto death; and to the other the savour of life unto
life. And who is sufficient for these things?
17 For we are
not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God,
in the sight of God speak we in Christ.
(KJV)
1 Cor 1:10
10 Now I beseech
you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same
thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly
joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.
(KJV)
Wisdom:
2 Cor 3:12-18
12 Seeing then
that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech:
13 And not as
Moses, which put a vail over his face, that the children of Israel could not
stedfastly look to the end of that which is abolished:
14 But their
minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in
the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in Christ.
15 But even unto
this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart.
16 Nevertheless
when it shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away.
17 Now the Lord
is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
18 But we all,
with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into
the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.
(KJV)
1 Cor 1:30
30 But of him
are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness,
and sanctification, and redemption:
(KJV)
2 Tim 1:11-14
11 Whereunto
I am appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles.
12 For the which
cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know
whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I
have committed unto him against that day.
13 Hold fast the
form of sound words, which thou hast heard of me, in faith and love which is in
Christ Jesus.
14 That good
thing which was committed unto thee keep by the Holy Ghost which dwelleth in
us.
(KJV)
Col 1:9-13
9 For this
cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to
desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and
spiritual understanding;
10 That ye might
walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work,
and increasing in the knowledge of God;
11 Strengthened
with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and
longsuffering with joyfulness;
12 Giving thanks
unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of
the saints in light:
13 Who hath
delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the
kingdom of his dear Son:
(KJV)
Col 2:1-3
1 For I would
that ye knew what great conflict I have for you, and for them at Laodicea, and
for as many as have not seen my face in the flesh;
2 That their
hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of
the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of
God, and of the Father, and of Christ;
3 In whom are
hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
(KJV)
Love and
Faith:
2 Tim 1:11-14
11 Whereunto
I am appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles.
12 For the which
cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know
whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I
have committed unto him against that day.
13 Hold fast the
form of sound words, which thou hast heard of me, in faith and love which is in
Christ Jesus.
14 That good
thing which was committed unto thee keep by the Holy Ghost which dwelleth in
us.
(KJV)
Col 1:1-6
1 Paul, an
apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timotheus our brother,
2 To the
saints and faithful brethren in Christ which are at Colosse: Grace be unto you,
and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 We give
thanks to God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you,
4 Since we
heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love which ye have to all the
saints,
5 For the hope
which is laid up for you in heaven, whereof ye heard before in the word of the
truth of the gospel;
6 Which is
come unto you, as it is in all the world; and bringeth forth fruit, as it doth
also in you, since the day ye heard of it, and knew the grace of God in truth:
(KJV)
Complete:
Col 2:9-10
9 For in him
dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
10 And ye are
complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:
(KJV)
Strengthened:
Col 1:9-13
9 For this
cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to
desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and
spiritual understanding;
10 That ye might
walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work,
and increasing in the knowledge of God;
11 Strengthened
with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and
longsuffering with joyfulness;
12 Giving thanks
unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of
the saints in light:
13 Who hath
delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the
kingdom of his dear Son:
(KJV)
Col 2:6-7
6 As ye have
therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him:
7 Rooted and
built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding
therein with thanksgiving.
(KJV)
Col 2:9-10
9 For in him
dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
10 And ye are
complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:
(KJV)
Eph 6:10-20
10 Finally, my
brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
11 Put on the
whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the
devil.
12 For we
wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against
powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual
wickedness in high places.
13 Wherefore
take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the
evil day, and having done all, to stand.
14 Stand
therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the
breastplate of righteousness;
15 And your feet
shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
16 Above all,
taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery
darts of the wicked.
17 And take the
helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
18 Praying
always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto
with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;
19 And for me, that
utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known
the mystery of the gospel,
20 For which I
am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to
speak.
(KJV)
Phil 4:13
13 I can do all
things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
(KJV)
All Things
Created:
Col 1:16-18
16 For by him
were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and
invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers:
all things were created by him, and for him:
17 And he is
before all things, and by him all things consist.
18 And he is the
head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the
dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.
(KJV)
All The
Fullness Dwells:
Col 1:19
19 For it
pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell;
(KJV)
Col 2:9-15
9 For in him
dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
10 And ye are
complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:
11 In whom also
ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the
body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ:
12 Buried with
him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation
of God, who hath raised him from the dead.
13 And you,
being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened
together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;
14 Blotting out
the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us,
and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;
15 And having
spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing
over them in it.
(KJV)
Hope of
Glory:
Col 1:25-29
25 Whereof I
am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me
for you, to fulfil the word of God;
26 Even the
mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made
manifest to his saints:
27 To whom God
would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the
Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:
28 Whom we
preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may
present every man perfect in Christ Jesus:
29 Whereunto
I also labour, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily.
(KJV)
1 Pet 1:3-9
3 Blessed be
the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant
mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus
Christ from the dead,
4 To an
inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in
heaven for you,
5 Who are kept
by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the
last time.
6 Wherein ye
greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness
through manifold temptations:
7 That the
trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth,
though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory
at the appearing of Jesus Christ:
8 Whom having
not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye
rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:
9 Receiving
the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.
(KJV)
Sons Of God:
I Jn 3:1-2
1 Behold,
what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called
the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.
2 Beloved,
now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we
know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as
he is.
(KJV)
Dead to
the Law and Married to another:
Rom 6:1-23
1 What shall
we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
2 God forbid. How
shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?
3 Know ye not,
that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his
death?
4 Therefore
we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up
from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in
newness of life.
5 For if we
have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in
the likeness of his resurrection:
6 Knowing
this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be
destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.
7 For he that
is dead is freed from sin.
8 Now if we be
dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:
9 Knowing
that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more
dominion over him.
10 For in that
he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.
11 Likewise
reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
12 Let not sin
therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts
thereof.
13 Neither yield
ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield
yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as
instruments of righteousness unto God.
14 For sin shall
not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.
15 What then?
shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid.
16 Know ye not,
that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom
ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?
17 But God be
thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart
that form of doctrine which was delivered you.
18 Being then
made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.
19 I speak after
the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have
yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity;
even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness.
20 For when ye
were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness.
21 What fruit
had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those
things is death.
22 But now being
made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto
holiness, and the end everlasting life.
23 For the wages
of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our
Lord.
(KJV)
Rom 7:1-25
1 Know ye not,
brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,) how that the law hath
dominion over a man as long as he liveth?
2 For the
woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he
liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband.
3 So then if,
while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an
adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she
is no adulteress, though she be married to another man.
4 Wherefore,
my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye
should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we
should bring forth fruit unto God.
5 For when we
were in the flesh, the motions of sins, which were by the law, did work in our
members to bring forth fruit unto death.
6 But now we
are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we
should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.
7 What shall
we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the
law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet.
8 But sin,
taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence.
For without the law sin was dead.
9 For I was
alive without the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I
died.
10 And the
commandment, which was ordained to life, I found to be unto death.
11 For sin,
taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew me.
12 Wherefore
the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.
13 Was then that
which is good made death unto me? God forbid. But sin, that it might appear
sin, working death in me by that which is good; that sin by the commandment
might become exceeding sinful.
14 For we know
that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.
15 For that
which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that
do I.
16 If then I do
that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good.
17 Now then it
is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
18 For I know
that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is
present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.
19 For the good
that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do.
20 Now if I do
that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
21 I find then a
law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.
22 For I delight
in the law of God after the inward man:
23 But I see
another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me
into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.
24 O wretched
man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?
25 I thank God
through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of
God; but with the flesh the law of sin.
(KJV)
Rom 8:1-17
1 There is
therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not
after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
2 For the law
of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and
death.
3 For what the
law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own
Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:
4 That the
righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the
flesh, but after the Spirit.
5 For they
that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are
after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.
6 For to be
carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
7 Because
the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God,
neither indeed can be.
8 So then they
that are in the flesh cannot please God.
9 But ye are
not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in
you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
10 And if Christ
be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of
righteousness.
11 But if the
Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised
up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that
dwelleth in you.
12 Therefore,
brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.
13 For if ye
live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the
deeds of the body, ye shall live.
14 For as many
as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
15 For ye have
not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the
Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
16 The Spirit
itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:
17 And if
children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that
we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.
(KJV)
Freely
Given All Things:
Rom 8:32
32 He that
spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with
him also freely give us all things?
(KJV)
1 Cor 1:4-7
4 I thank my
God always on your behalf, for the grace of God which is given you by Jesus
Christ;
5 That in
every thing ye are enriched by him, in all utterance, and in all knowledge;
6 Even as the
testimony of Christ was confirmed in you:
7 So that ye
come behind in no gift; waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ:
(KJV)
Phil 4:19
19 But my God
shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
(KJV)
Peace of
God:
Phil 4:6-9
6 Be careful
for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving
let your requests be made known unto God.
7 And the
peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds
through Christ Jesus.
8 Finally,
brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever
things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely,
whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be
any praise, think on these things.
9 Those
things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me,
do: and the God of peace shall be with you.
(KJV)
Mind of
Christ:
Phil 2:5-11
5 Let this
mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
6 Who, being
in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
7 But made
himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made
in the likeness of men:
8 And being
found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death,
even the death of the cross.
9 Wherefore
God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every
name:
10 That at the
name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth,
and things under the earth;
11 And that
every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the
Father.
(KJV)
