58 Bible Verses about Paul, Teaching Of

whom God hath proposed as the propitiatory sacrifice through faith in his blood, in demonstration of his justice for the remission of past sins, through the patience of God;

For that which was impossible by the law, inasmuch as it was impotent through the flesh, God having sent his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in that flesh: that the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled by us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

But all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; namely, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing to them their offences: and hath committed to us the word of reconciliation.

And you who in time past were all aliens, and enemies in mind by wicked works, hath he now reconciled, by the body of his flesh, through death, to present you holy, and blameless, and irreprehensible in his presence:

For he hath made him, who knew no sin, to be a sin offering for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in him.

Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, "Cursed is every one who is hanged on a tree:" that unto the Gentiles the benediction pronounced on Abraham might come by Jesus Christ, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit by faith.

but when the fulness of time was come, God sent forth his Son born of a woman, born under the law, that he might redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.

For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all are dead, so also in Christ shall all be made alive.

Therefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and by sin death; even so death passed into all men through him, in whom all have sinned. For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed if there be no law. But death reigned from Adam unto Moses, even over those who have not sinned after the similitude of the transgression of Adam, who is a type of him that was to come.read more.
But not as the transgression, so also [is] the gift. For if by the transgression of one the many became dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is in that one man, Christ Jesus, hath abounded unto many. And the gift [is] not as for one who sinned: for the judgment indeed [came] by one to condemnation, but the free gift [leads] to justification from many offences. For if by the offence of one, death reigned by that one; much more they who receive the abundance of grace, and of the gift of righteousness, shall reign in life by one, Christ Jesus. Well then, as by the offence of one, [judgment issued] against all men unto condemnation; so also by the righteousness of one, [the gift came] to all men for justification unto life. For as by the disobedience of one man the many were constituted sinners; so also by the obedience of one shall the many be constituted righteous.

I am crucified with Christ, yet I live; though no more I, but Christ liveth in me: and my present life in the flesh, is a life by faith in the Son of God, who hath loved me, and delivered up himself for me.

Wherefore from the present moment know we no man after the flesh: yea though we have also known Christ after the flesh, yet so henceforth know we him no more. Wherefore if any person be in Christ, he is a new creation: the old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

But God, being rich in mercy, through the great love with which he hath loved us, though we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved,) and hath raised us up together with him, and made us sit down together in the heavenly regions in Christ Jesus.read more.
That he might shew forth in the ages to come the transcendent riches of his grace, in the kindness shewed to us in Christ Jesus.

And you, who were dead in sins and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened with him, freely forgiving you all trespasses;

So also do ye account yourselves dead indeed to sin, but living unto God in Christ Jesus our Lord. Let not therefore sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in the passions thereof. Neither present your members as weapons of unrighteousness for sin: but present yourselves to God, as alive from the dead, and your members as weapons of righteousness for God.

THAT then shall we say? Shall we abide in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid. We who are dead to sin, how shall we still live therein? Do ye not know, that as many as have been baptised into Christ Jesus have been baptised into his death?read more.
We have been buried therefore with him by baptism into death: that as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, so also we should walk in newness of life. For if we have been planted with him in the likeness of his death, so shall we be also of his resurrection: knowing this, that our old man hath been crucified with him, that the body of sin might be abolished, that we should no longer be slaves to sin. For he that is dead is discharged from sin.

and he died for all, that they who live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him that died for them, and rose again.

But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who hath been made to us of God wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:

THERE is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath liberated me from the law of sin and of death.

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with every spiritual blessing in heavenly things in Christ; as he hath elected us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him in love: having predestinated us for his adopted children by Jesus Christ unto himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,read more.
to the praise of the glory of his grace, whereby he hath made us acceptable in that beloved one; in whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace; wherein he hath abounded towards us with all wisdom and intelligence, having made known to us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in himself; at the dispensation of the fulness of the appointed times to gather together under one head all things in Christ, whether they be things in heaven or things in earth, in him: in whom also we have obtained our inheritance, predestinated according to the purpose of him who effectually worketh all things according to the counsel of his own will: that we should be to the praise of his glory, who first had hope in Christ. In whom ye also [trusted] after ye had heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, ye have been sealed with the holy Spirit of promise, which is the earnest of our inheritance, until the final redemption, acquired by him, come, to the praise of his glory.

For by grace ye are saved through faith, and this not of yourselves; it is the gift of God: not by works, lest any man should boast;

But now distinct from the law the righteousness of God is manifest, receiving testimony from the law and the prophets; the righteousness of God indeed by faith in Jesus Christ unto all and upon all that believe: for there is no difference: for all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;read more.
justified freely by his grace through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus: whom God hath proposed as the propitiatory sacrifice through faith in his blood, in demonstration of his justice for the remission of past sins, through the patience of God; for a demonstration of his justice at this present time: that he might be just, though justifying him who is of the faith of Jesus.

Therefore it is by faith, that it might be of grace; in order that the promise might be secured to all the seed; not only to that which is of the law, but to that which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all,

BEING justified therefore by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: by whom also we have had an introduction through faith into this grace in which we have stood fast, and are rejoicing in hope of the glory of God.

We who are Jews by descent, and not sinners sprung from Gentiles, 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 faith in Christ, and not by works of the law; because by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.

For not by the law [came] the promise to Abraham and his seed, that he should be heir of the world, but by the righteousness of faith. For if they who are of the law are heirs, faith becomes vain, and the promise is useless: for the law causeth wrath: for where there is no law, neither is there transgression.

as Abraham believed in God, and it was imputed to him for righteousness. Know then that they who are of faith, these are the children of Abraham. And the scripture foreseeing that by faith God would justify the Gentiles, preached the gospel before unto Abraham, saying, that "In thee shall all the nations be blessed."read more.
Wherefore they who are of faith are blessed with believing Abraham. For as many as are of the works of the law, are under a curse: for it is written, "Cursed is every one who continueth not in all the things written in the book of the law to do them." But that by the law no man is justified before God is evident: because "The just by faith shall live." Now the law is not by faith: but "The man that doeth these things shall live by them." Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, "Cursed is every one who is hanged on a tree:" that unto the Gentiles the benediction pronounced on Abraham might come by Jesus Christ, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit by faith.

Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the transcendently excellent knowledge of Jesus Christ my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them but as offals of ordure, that I may gain Christ, and be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is by the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:

For by one Spirit we all have been baptised into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free men; and we have all been made to drink into one Spirit.

For ye are all the sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as have been baptised into Christ, have been invested with Christ. There is no more Jew or Gentile, there is no more slave or freeman, there is no more male or female: but ye are all one in Christ Jesus.

For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of separation, destroying the enmity in his flesh, even the law of precepts, in ordinances, that he might from the two create in himself one new man, making peace, and might reconcile them both in one body to God by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby;read more.
and coming, hath preached peace to you who were afar off, and to those who were nigh: for through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.

that the Gentiles should be co-heirs, and of the same body, and sharers with them of his promise in Christ by the Gospel:

But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwelleth in you. But if any man hath not the Spirit of Christ, he is not his.

NOW it came to pass that during the time Apollos was at Corinth, Paul, after passing through the upper provinces, came to Ephesus; and finding certain disciples, said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? And they said unto him, We have not even heard if the Holy Ghost is [given]. And he asked them, Into what then were ye baptised? And they replied, Into John's baptism.read more.
Then said Paul, John indeed baptised with the baptism of repentance, saying to the people, That they should believe on him who was coming after him, that is, in Christ Jesus. Now when they heard it, they were baptised into the name of the Lord Jesus. And Paul laying on them his hands, the Holy Ghost came upon them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied. And the men were in all about twelve.

This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or from hearing of the faith? Are ye so senseless? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect in the flesh? have ye suffered so many things in vain? if it be yet in vain.read more.
He therefore who ministereth to you a supply of the Spirit, and powerfully worketh miracles among you, doth he it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of the faith?

NOW concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant. Ye know that ye were Gentiles, drawn away after the idols that are dumb, even as ye have been led. Wherefore I advertise you, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God, call Jesus anathema: and no man can say, Lord Jesus, but by the Holy Ghost.read more.
But there are diversities of gifts, though the same Spirit. And there are diversities of services, but the same Lord. And there are diversities of mighty operations, but it is the same God who worketh all in all. Now to every one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for usefulness. For to one man by the Spirit is given wise discourse; but to another speech [communicative] of knowledge by the same Spirit; to another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing [diseases] by the same Spirit; to another miraculous powers; to another prophecy; to another discernments of spirits; to another different kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues: but all these things worketh that one and the same Spirit, distributing peculiar gifts to every one even as he wills.

FOLLOW earnestly after love, and zealously seek spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy. For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue, speaketh not to men, but to God: for no man understandeth him; although in spirit he speaketh mysterious truths. But he that prophesieth, addresseth men for edification, and exhortation, and consolation.read more.
He that speaketh in an unknown tongue, edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth, edifieth the church. Now I could wish that you all spake with tongues, but rather that ye should prophesy: for greater is he that prophesieth, than he that speaketh with tongues, except he interpret also, that the church may receive edification. Now I, brethren, if I should come unto you, speaking in unknown languages, what should I profit you, unless I should speak to you [intelligibly] by revelation, or by science, or by prophecy, or by doctrine? In like manner things inanimate, giving sound, whether the pipe, or the harp, unless they express a distinction in their tones, how shall it be known what is piped, or what is harped? For if the trumpet also give an uncertain sound, who will prepare himself for the battle? So also ye, unless with the tongue you speak an intelligible discourse, how shall it be known what is spoken? for ye will speak to the air. For though there are so many different kinds of languages in the world, yet is not one of them without its meaning. If therefore I know not the force of the expression, I shall be to him that speaketh a barbarian, and he that speaketh will be a barbarian unto me. So also ye, if ye zealously affect spiritual gifts, seek that ye may abound in them for the edification of the church. Therefore let him who speaketh in an unknown tongue, pray that he may interpret also. For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my mind produces no fruit. What then is my object? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also: I will sing psalms with the spirit, and I will sing psalms with the understanding also. Else, though thou bless God in spirit, how shall he who filleth the place of an illiterate man, say Amen after thy thanksgiving, seeing he knoweth not what thou sayest? For thou indeed givest thanks to God well, but another man is not edified by it. I thank my God, that I speak with different tongues more than you all: but in the church I had rather speak five words with my understanding, that I may instruct others also, than ten thousand words in an unknown tongue. Brethren, be not children in your minds: though in naughtiness be ye children, but in your minds be men complete. In the law it is written, "That with other tongues, and with other lips, will I speak to this people: and even thus will they not attend to me, saith the Lord." Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to those that believe, but to those who do not believe: but the gift of prophecy is not for those who are infidels, but for believers. If then the whole church assemble together in the same place, and all speak different tongues, and there come in illiterate persons, or infidels, will they not say ye are mad? But if all prophesy, and any infidel or illiterate person come in, he receives conviction from all, he is judged of all: and thus the secrets of his heart are made manifest; and so falling down on his face, he will worship God, declaring that God verily is among you. How comes it then, brethren, that when ye assemble together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation? Let all things be done to edification. If any man speak in an unknown tongue, let it be by two, or at most by three, and one after another; and let one interpret. But if there be not an interpreter, let him be silent in the church; but let him speak to himself and to God. Let the prophets two or three speak, and let the others judge. But if any thing should be revealed to one sitting by, let the first be silent. For ye may all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all be comforted. And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets. For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all the churches of his saints.

But because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father! Therefore thou art no more a slave, but a son, and if a son, an heir also of God through Christ.

For as many as are guided by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. For ye have not received a spirit of bondage again unto fear; but ye have received a Spirit of adoption, by which we cry, Abba, Father. The same spirit beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God.read more.
But if children, then heirs; heirs indeed of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be we suffer with him, that we may also together with him be glorified.

for through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.

But now we have been discharged from the law, that being dead by which we were held fast; that we should serve in renovation of spirit, and not in the antiquity of the letter.

But he is a Jew who is such inwardly; and circumcision is of the heart, in spirit, not in letter; whose praise is not from men, but from God.

because ye are manifestly seen to be the letter of Christ, of which we have been the secretaries, written not with ink, but by the Spirit of the living God, not on tables of stone, but on the fleshly tables of the heart.

For if ye live after the flesh, ye are ready to die: but if by the Spirit ye mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.

For they who are after the flesh, mind the things of the flesh; but they who are after the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the propensity of the flesh is inimical against God: for it is not in subjection to the law of God, neither indeed can it be.read more.
They then who are in the flesh, cannot please God.

But I say, Walk in the Spirit, and ye will not fulfil the lust of the flesh. For the flesh hath appetites contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit contrary to the flesh, and these act in opposition the one to the other: so that ye do not the things which ye would. But if ye are under the conduct of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.read more.
Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are these: adultery, whoredom, impurity, lasciviousness, idolatry, magical charms, enmities, strifes, jealousies, animosities, quarrels, divisions, heresies, envyings, murders, drunkenness, revels, and the like of these, concerning which I tell you now, as I have told you already, that they who live in such practices shall not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, fidelity, meekness, temperance; against such there is no law. But they who are Christ's have crucified the flesh with its passions and irregular appetites. If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit.

For he that soweth unto his flesh, shall of the flesh reap corruption, and he that soweth to the Spirit, shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.

But if the Spirit of him who hath raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he who raised Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his indwelling Spirit in you.

And not only so, but ourselves also, who have the first-fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan in ourselves, expecting the adoption, the redemption of our body.

For we which are in this tabernacle, groan, being burdened; wherein we desire not to be unclothed, but clothed upon, that what is mortal may be swallowed up of life. But he that hath wrought us for this very thing is God, who also hath given us the earnest of the spirit.

In whom ye also [trusted] after ye had heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, ye have been sealed with the holy Spirit of promise, which is the earnest of our inheritance, until the final redemption, acquired by him, come, to the praise of his glory.

But our conversation is in heaven as its citizens, from whence also we are expecting the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall transform our body of humiliation, that it may be conformed to his body of glory, according to the effectual working of him who is able to subdue even all things to himself.

For as in Adam all are dead, so also in Christ shall all be made alive. But every one in his own rank: Christ the first-fruit; afterwards those that are Christ's at his appearing. Then cometh the end, when he shall deliver up the kingdom to God, and the Father; when he shall have destroyed every dominion and every authority and power.read more.
For he must reign, until he hath put all enemies under his feet. The last enemy shall be destroyed, death. For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith, that all things are put under him, it is evident that there is an exception of him, who subjected all things to him. But when he shall have put all things under him, then also the Son himself shall be subjected to him who put all things under him, that God may be all in all.

For if we believe that Jesus died, and rose again, so also those that have fallen asleep for Jesus shall God bring with him. For this I say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left unto the coming of the Lord, shall not prevent those who are fallen asleep. For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet of God; and the dead in Christ shall rise first:read more.
then we who are alive, who remain, shall be caught up together with them into the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air; and so shall we be ever with the Lord.

seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you; and to you who are troubled, rest with us, at the revelation of the Lord Jesus Christ from heaven with his mighty angels, in a flame of fire, taking vengeance of them that know not God, and obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:read more.
who shall receive punishment, even eternal perdition, from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power: when he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired by all those who believe; because our testimony was believed among you in that day.

For if we believe that Jesus died, and rose again, so also those that have fallen asleep for Jesus shall God bring with him.

But if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you, that there is no resurrection of the dead? But if there is no resurrection of the dead, neither is Christ risen: and if Christ be not risen, vain indeed is our preaching, and vain also your faith.read more.
Yea, and we also are found false witnesses for God; because we have testified on the behalf of God, that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if indeed the dead are not raised. For if the dead are not raised, neither is Christ risen: and if Christ be not risen, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins. Then also they who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished. If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are more miserable than all other men. But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the first-fruit of those who have fallen asleep. For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all are dead, so also in Christ shall all be made alive. But every one in his own rank: Christ the first-fruit; afterwards those that are Christ's at his appearing.

For the eager expectation of the creation is waiting for the revelation of the children of God. For the creation was made subject to vanity, not voluntarily, but by him who made it subject, in hope that the same creation shall be emancipated from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.

having made known to us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in himself; at the dispensation of the fulness of the appointed times to gather together under one head all things in Christ, whether they be things in heaven or things in earth, in him:
