'In Christ' in the Bible

Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the saints who are in Ephesus and faithful in Christ Jesus:

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ,

he made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ,

as a plan for the fullness of the times, to unite all things in Christ, things in heaven and things on earth. In him

in order that we, who were the first to hope in Christ, would be for the praise of his glory.

which he worked in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places,

and raised us up with him, and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,

so that in the coming ages he might show the surpassing riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.

For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we would walk in them.

But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near in the blood of Christ.

that is, how the Gentiles are fellow heirs and members of the same body, and partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel.

This was according to the eternal purpose which he carried out in Christ Jesus our Lord,

to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations, for ever and ever. Amen.

Be kind and tenderhearted to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.
