'In Christ' in the Bible

Some days later Felix arrived with his wife Drusilla, who was a Jewess. He sent for Paul and heard what he had to say about faith in Christ Jesus;

but they are justified for nothing by his grace through the ransom provided in Christ Jesus,

So you must consider yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Sin's wage is death, but God's gift is life eternal in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Thus there is no doom now for those who are in Christ Jesus;

the law of the Spirit brings the life which is in Christ Jesus, and that law has set me free from the law of sin and death.

no powers of the Height or of the Depth, nor anything else in all creation will be able to part us from God's love in Christ Jesus our Lord.

I am telling the truth in Christ ??it is no lie, my conscience bears me out in the holy Spirit

so too, for all our numbers, we form one Body in Christ and we are severally members one of another.

Now in Christ Jesus I can be proud of my work for God.

Salute Prisca and Aquila, my fellow-workers in Christ Jesus,

Salute Andronicus and Junias, fellow-countrymen and fellow-prisoners of mine; they are men of note among the apostles, and they have been in Christ longer than I have.

Salute Urbanus, our fellow-worker in Christ, and my beloved Stachys.

to the church of God at Corinth, to those who are consecrated in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, as well as to all who, wherever they may be, invoke the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, their Lord no less than ours:

I always thank my God for the grace of God that has been bestowed on you in Christ Jesus;

This is the God to whom you owe your being in Christ Jesus, whom God has made our 'Wisdom,' that is, our righteousness and consecration and redemption;

But I could not discuss things with you, my brothers, as spiritual persons; I had to address you as worldlings, as mere babes in Christ.

We, for Christ's sake, are 'fools'; you in Christ are sensible. We are weak, you are strong; you are honoured, we are in disrepute.

You may have thousands to superintend you in Christ, but you have not more than one father. It was I who in Christ Jesus became your father by means of the gospel.

To ensure this, I am sending you Timotheus, my beloved and trustworthy son in the Lord; he will remind you of those methods in Christ Jesus which I teach everywhere in every church.

More than that: those who have slept the sleep of death in Christ have perished after all.

Ah, if in this life we have nothing but a mere hope in Christ, we are of all men to be pitied most!

as all die in Adam, so shall all be made alive in Christ.

My love be with you all in Christ Jesus.' [Amen.]

And it is God who confirms me along with you in Christ, who consecrated me,

Wherever I go, thank God, he makes my life a constant pageant of triumph in Christ, diffusing the perfume of his knowledge everywhere by me.

I am, for I am not like most, adulterating the word of God; like a man of sincerity, like a man of God, I speak the word in Christ before the very presence of God.

Besides, their minds were dulled, for to this very day, when the Old Testament is read aloud, the same veil hangs. Veiled from them the fact that the glory fades in Christ!

There is a new creation whenever a man comes to be in Christ; what is old is gone, the new has come.

For in Christ God reconciled the world to himself instead of counting men's trespasses against them; and he entrusted me with the message of his reconciliation.

I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago was caught up to the third heaven. In the body or out of the body? That I do not know: God knows.

You think all this time I am defending myself to you? No, I am speaking in Christ before the presence of God, and speaking every word, beloved, in order to build you up.

There were traitors of false brothers, who had crept in to spy out the freedom we enjoy in Christ Jesus; they did aim at enslaving us again.

but since we know a man is justified simply by faith in Jesus Christ and not by doing what the Law commands, we ourselves have believed in Christ Jesus so as to get justified by faith in Christ and not by doing what the Law commands ??for by doing what the Law commands no person shall be justified.

If it is discovered that in our quest for justification in Christ we are 'sinners' as well as the Gentiles, does that make Christ an agent of sin? Never!

that the blessing of Abraham might reach the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, so that by faith we might receive the promised Spirit.

you are all sons of God by your faith in Christ Jesus

There is no room for Jew or Greek, there is no room for slave or freeman, there is no room for male and female; you are all one in Christ Jesus.

in Christ Jesus circumcision is not valid, neither is uncircumcision, but only faith active in love.

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

so to order it in the fulness of the ages that all things in heaven and earth alike should be gathered up in Christ ??11 in the Christ in whom we have had our heritage allotted us (as was decreed in the design of him who carries out everything according to the counsel of his will),

to make us redound to the praise of his glory by being the first to put our hope in Christ.

together with Christ he raised and seated us within the heavenly sphere in Christ Jesus,

to display throughout ages to come his surpassing wealth of grace and goodness toward us in Christ Jesus.

God has made us what we are, creating us in Christ Jesus for the good deeds which are prepared beforehand by God as our sphere of action.

Whereas now, within Christ Jesus, you who once were far away have been brought near by the blood of Christ.

namely, that in Christ Jesus the Gentiles are co-heirs, companions, and co-partners in the Promise.

in terms of the eternal purpose which he has realized in Christ Jesus our Lord,

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

(for it is Christ whom you have been taught, it is in Christ that you have been instructed ??the real Christ who is in Jesus);

be kind to each other, be tender-hearted, be generous to each other as God has been generous to you in Christ.

PAUL and Timotheus, servants of Christ Jesus, to all the saints in Christ Jesus who are at Philippi, as well as to the bishops and deacons:

Thus you will have ample cause to glory in Christ Jesus over me ??over my return to you.

Treat one another with the same spirit as you experience in Christ Jesus.

indeed I count anything a loss, compared to the supreme value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have lost everything (I count it all the veriest refuse) in order to gain Christ

and be found at death in him, possessing no legal righteousness of my own but the righteousness of faith in Christ, the divine righteousness that rests on faith.

to press on to the goal for the prize of God's high call in Christ Jesus.

so shall God's peace, that surpasses all our dreams, keep guard over your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.

My God will supply all your own needs from his wealth in Glory in Christ Jesus.

Salute every saint in Christ Jesus. The brothers beside me salute you.

to the consecrated and faithful brothers in Christ at Colossae: grace and peace to you from God our Father.

since we have heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and your love for all the saints,

This is the Christ we proclaim; we train everyone and teach everyone the full scope of this knowledge, in order to set everyone before God mature in Christ;

for although I am absent in body I am with you in spirit, and it is a joy to note your steadiness and the solid front of your faith in Christ.

It is in Christ that the entire Fulness of deity has settled bodily,

for you have started, my brothers, to copy the churches of God in Christ Jesus throughout Judaea; you have suffered from your compatriots just as they have suffered from the Jews,

The Lord himself will descend from heaven with a loud summons, when the archangel calls and the trumpet of God sounds; the dead in Christ will rise first;

thank God for everything ??such is his will for you in Christ Jesus;

Paul an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God in the service of the Life he has promised in Christ Jesus ??2 to his beloved son Timotheus: grace, mercy, peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

who has saved us and called us to a life of consecration ??not for anything we have done but because he chose to do it himself, by the grace which he gave us ages ago in Christ Jesus

Yes, and all who want to live the religious life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted.

remember you have known from childhood the sacred writings that can impart saving wisdom by faith in Christ Jesus.

Hence, although in Christ I would feel quite free to order you to do your duty,

Come, brother, let me have some return from you in the Lord! Refresh my heart in Christ.

Epaphras my fellow-prisoner in Christ Jesus salutes you.

For we only participate in Christ provided that we keep firm to the very end the confidence with which we started,

Once you have suffered for a little, the God of all grace who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ Jesus, will repair and recruit and strengthen you.

Salute one another with a kiss of love. Peace be to you all who are in Christ [Jesus].
