And Saul was consenting unto his death. And there was a great persecution in that day against the church in Jerusalem: and all were dispersed abroad throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles.

Then it seemed good to the apostles and the elders, along with the whole church, to send men chosen from them into Antioch along with Paul and Barnabas; Judas called Barsabbas, and Silas, leaders among the brethren: having written through their hand; The apostles and elders, brethren to the brethren who are from the Gentiles throughout Antioch and Syria and Cilicia greeting. read more. Since we heard that certain ones having come out from us troubled you, disturbing your souls with words which we did not command: it seemed good to us, being of one accord, having chosen men to send them to you along with our beloved Barnabas and Paul, men who have imperiled their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore we have sent Judas and Silas, themselves also proclaiming the same things by speech. For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay upon you no more burden than these necessary things, to abstain from things offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication: from which keeping yourselves, you will do well. Fare ye well.

And after many years I came to do alms and offerings to my race;

Therefore, as by one man sin came into the world, and death by sin; and thus death came upon all men, in that all sinned; (for until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed, there being no law; read more. but death reigned from Adam unto Moses, even on those who did not sin after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the type of him who is to come. But not as was the transgression, even so is the free gift: for if by the transgression of one many died, how much more by the grace of one man, Jesus Christ, did the grace of God and the gift abound unto many! And not as by the one having sinned, is the free gift; for indeed, judgment was from one unto condemnation, but the free gift is from many transgressions unto justification. For if by the transgression of one death reigned through one; how much more shall those receiving the abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one, Christ Jesus!) Therefore then, as by the transgression of one, judgment came to all men to condemnation; so also through the righteousness of one, the free gift came on all men unto the justification of life: for as by the disobedience of one man many were made sinners, so also by the obedience of one man shall many be made righteous. But the law came, that the transgression might abound; but where sin did abound, there did grace superabound: in order that as sin reigned through death, so may grace reign also through righteousness unto eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Whether do you not know, that so many of us as were baptized unto Jesus Christ were baptized into His death? Therefore we were buried with him by baptism into death: in order that as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, so must we also walk in newness of life.

and the church in their house. Salute Epaenetus my beloved, who is the first fruit of Asia unto Christ.

to the church of God being in Corinth, to the sanctified in Christ Jesus, to the called saints, along with all who call upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place, theirs and ours:

Do you not know that you are the temple of God, and the Spirit of God dwells in you? If any one destroys the temple of God, him will God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which ye are.

Cleanse away the old leaven, in order that you may be a new lump, as you are free from leaven; for Christ has truly become our Passover. So let us feast, not on the old leaven, nor on the leaven of sin and iniquity, but on the unleavened bread of purity and truth.

The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ? Because we, being many, are one bread, one body: for we all partake of one bread. read more. See Israel after the flesh: are not all eating the sacrifices communicants of the altar?

Therefore you coming together, it is not to eat the Lord's supper: for each one takes his own supper in eating; and one is hungry, and another is drunken. read more. For have you not houses in which to eat and to drink? or do you cast contempt on the church of God, and shame those not having? What do I say to you? Shall I praise you in this? I do not praise you.

For have you not houses in which to eat and to drink? or do you cast contempt on the church of God, and shame those not having? What do I say to you? Shall I praise you in this? I do not praise you. For I received this from the Lord, which I have also delivered unto you, that the Lord Jesus, the night in which he was betrayed, took bread, read more. and having given thanks, broke it, and said; This is my body, which is for you: do this in remembrance of me. Likewise also the cup, after supper, saying; This cup is the new covenant in my blood: do this, as often as you may drink it, in remembrance of me. For as often as you may eat this bread, and drink the cup, you do proclaim the death of the Lord, until he may come. So whosoever may eat the bread or drink the cup of the Lord unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and the blood of the Lord. But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of the bread and drink of the cup; for the one eating and drinking, net discerning the body, eats and drinks condemnation to himself. Therefore many among you are weak and sickly, and not a few sleep. But if we judged ourselves, we would not be judged: But being judged, by the Lord we are chastised, in order that we may not be condemned along with the world. So, my brethren, coming together to eat, wait for one another. If one is hungry let him eat at home; in order that you may not come together unto condemnation. But I will set in order the remaining things when I may come.

For I am the least of the apostles, who am not worthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.

for so many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is no longer Jew nor Greek, nor bond nor free, nor male and female: for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

And so many as shall walk by this rule, peace and mercy be unto them, and unto the Israel of God.

in the economy of the fulness of the times, to rehead all things in Christ, those in the heavens, and those upon the earth; in him, in whom we were also chosen by lot, having been predestinated according to the purpose of him who works all things within us according to the counsel of his own will;

who is the earnest of our salvation, unto the redemption of the possession, unto the praise of his glory.

and has subordinated all things beneath his feet, and given him to be head over all things to the church, which is his body, the fulness of him who fills all things in all.

because you were at that time without Christ, being alienated from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers of the covenants of the promise, having no hope and being atheists in the world.
