Messiah in the Bible

From: Paul, a servant of Jesus the Messiah, called to be an apostle and set apart for God's gospel,

and was declared by the resurrection from the dead to be the powerful Son of God according to the spirit of holiness Jesus the Messiah, our Lord.

You, too, are among those who have been called to belong to Jesus the Messiah.

To: Everyone in Rome, loved by God and called to be holy. May grace and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus, the Messiah, be yours!

First of all, I thank my God through Jesus the Messiah for all of you, because the news about your faith is being reported throughout the world.

on that day when God, through Jesus the Messiah, will judge people's secrets according to my gospel.

God's righteousness through the faithfulness of Jesus the Messiah for all who believe. For there is no distinction among people,

By his grace they are justified freely through the redemption that is in the Messiah Jesus,

whom God offered as a place where atonement by the Messiah's blood would occur through faith. He did this to demonstrate his righteousness, because he had waited patiently to deal with sins committed in the past.

Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus the Messiah.

For at just the right time, while we were still powerless, the Messiah died for the ungodly.

But God demonstrates his love for us by the fact that the Messiah died for us while we were still sinners.

Not only that, but we also continue to boast about God through our Lord Jesus the Messiah, through whom we have now been reconciled.

But God's free gift is not like Adam's offense. For if many people died as the result of one man's offense, how much more have God's grace and the free gift given through the kindness of one man, Jesus the Messiah, been showered on many people!

For if, through one man, death ruled because of that man's offense, how much more will those who receive such overflowing grace and the gift of righteousness rule in life because of one man, Jesus the Messiah!

so that, just as sin ruled by bringing death, so also grace might rule by bringing justification that results in eternal life through Jesus the Messiah, our Lord.

Or don't you know that all of us who were baptized into union with the Messiah Jesus were baptized into his death?

Therefore, through baptism we were buried with him into his death so that, just as the Messiah was raised from the dead by the Father's glory, we too may live an entirely new life.

Now if we have died with the Messiah, we believe that we will also live with him,

for we know that the Messiah, who was raised from the dead, will never die again; death no longer has mastery over him.

In the same way, you too must continuously consider yourselves dead as far as sin is concerned, but living for God through the Messiah Jesus.

For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in union with the Messiah Jesus our Lord.

Therefore, my brothers, you also were put to death in relation to the law through the crucified body of the Messiah, so that you may belong to another—to Him who was raised from the dead—that we may bear fruit for God.

Thank God through Jesus the Messiah, our Lord, because with my mind I myself can serve the Law of God, even while with my human nature I serve the law of sin.

Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in union with the Messiah Jesus.

For the Spirit's law of life in the Messiah Jesus has set me free from the Law of sin and death.

You, however, are not under the control of the human nature but under the control of the Spirit, since God's Spirit lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of the Messiah, he does not belong to him.

But if the Messiah is in you, your bodies are dead due to sin, but the spirit is alive due to righteousness.

And if the Spirit of the one who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, then the one who raised the Messiah from the dead will also make your mortal bodies alive by his Spirit who lives in you.

Now if we are children, we are heirs heirs of God and co-heirs with the Messiah if, in fact, we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.

Who is the one to condemn? It is the Messiah Jesus who is interceding on our behalf. He died, and more importantly, has been raised and is seated at the right hand of God.

Who will separate us from the Messiah's love? Can trouble, distress, persecution, hunger, nakedness, danger, or a violent death do this?

nor anything above, nor anything below, nor anything else in all creation can separate us from the love of God that is ours in union with the Messiah Jesus, our Lord.

I am telling the truth because I belong to the Messiah I am not lying, and my conscience confirms it by means of the Holy Spirit.

For I could almost wish to be cursed and cut off from the Messiah for the benefit of my brothers, my own flesh and blood.

The ancestors are theirs, and from them, by physical descent, came the Messiah, who is God over all, praised forever. Amen.

For the Messiah is the culmination of the Law as far as righteousness is concerned for everyone who believes.

But the righteousness that comes from faith says, "Do not say in your heart, "Who will go up to heaven?' (that is, to bring the Messiah down),

or "Who will go down into the depths?' (that is, to bring the Messiah back from the dead)."

Consequently, faith results from listening, and listening results through the word of the Messiah.

In the same way, even though we are many people, we are one body in the Messiah and individual parts connected to each other.

Instead, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus, the Messiah, and do not obey your flesh and its desires.

For this reason the Messiah died and returned to life, so that he might become the Lord of both the dead and the living.

For if your brother is being hurt by what you eat, you are no longer acting in love. Do not destroy the person for whom the Messiah died by what you eat.

For the person who serves the Messiah in this way is pleasing to God and approved by people.

For even the Messiah did not please Himself. On the contrary, as it is written, The insults of those who insult You have fallen on Me.

Now may God, the source of endurance and encouragement, allow you to live in harmony with each other as you follow the Messiah Jesus,

so that with one mind and one voice you might glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus, the Messiah.

Therefore accept one another, just as the Messiah also accepted you, to the glory of God.

For I tell you that the Messiah became a servant of the circumcised on behalf of God's truth in order to confirm the promises given to our ancestors,

to be a minister of the Messiah Jesus to the gentiles in the priestly service of the gospel of God, so that the offering brought by gentiles may be acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.

Therefore, in the Messiah Jesus I have the right to boast about my work for God.

For I am bold enough to tell you only about what the Messiah has accomplished through me in bringing gentiles to obedience. By my words and actions,

by the power of miraculous signs and wonders, and by the power of God’s Spirit. As a result, I have fully proclaimed the good news about the Messiah from Jerusalem all the way around to Illyricum.

My one ambition is to proclaim the gospel where the name of the Messiah is not known, so I don't build on someone else's foundation.

And I know that when I come to you I will come with the full blessing of the Messiah.

Now I urge you, brothers, by our Lord Jesus, the Messiah, and by the love that the Spirit produces, to join me in my struggle, earnestly praying to God for me

Greet Prisca and Aquila, who work with me for the Messiah Jesus,

Greet also the church in their house. Greet my dear friend Epaenetus, who was the first convert to the Messiah in Asia.

Greet Andronicus and Junia, my fellow Jews who are in prison with me and are prominent among the apostles. They belonged to the Messiah before I did.

Greet Urbanus, our co-worker in the Messiah, and my dear friend Stachys.

Greet Apelles, who has been approved by the Messiah. Greet those who belong to the family of Aristobulus.

Greet one another with a holy kiss. All the churches of the Messiah greet you.

because such people are not serving the Messiah our Lord, but their own desires. By their smooth talk and flattering words they deceive the hearts of the unsuspecting.

The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. May the grace of our Lord Jesus, the Messiah, be with all of you!

May the grace of our Lord Jesus, the Messiah, be with all of you!

Now to the one who is able to strengthen you with my gospel and the message that I preach about Jesus, the Messiah, by revealing the secret that was kept hidden from long ago

to the only wise God, through Jesus the Messiah, be glory forever! Amen.
